Mr. Luce presented Braemar Parc for prelimlnary plat approval, noting that this matter had been continued from August 6, 1973. He described the location of the proposed four lot plat as being generally located at the East corner of Valley View Road and Mark Terrace Drive and advised that Planning Commission had recommended denial of the plat because of the inadequacy of streets and roads and because the shape of the site, including'its topographic relief,would preclude development to occur on the property without extensive modification to the site. mission had also expressed concern about preservation of vegitation on the site, and believed that a three lot plat would preserve the nature of the site to a greater,degree. Mr. James Otto, contract purchaser of the property, said that .the property is 61,500 square feet and that the average lot would be 15,450 square feet with 400 feet of frontage on Mark Terrace Drive and 340 feet of frontage on Valley View.Road. He said that he believes that the plat would be. better developed with four lots than with three lots and described the elevation of the proposed lots, stating that all lots would be ideal for walkouts. Mr, Luce said that, according to plans previously presented to him, frontand rear yard setbacks would require variances and that if the property was platt8d into four lots, the lots would have to be triangular in shape, causing loss of flexi- bility in locating houses to preserve the environment. Mr. Luce added that Mr. Otto knew before he purchased the property that only a three lot plat had been recommended. getting into a decision as to whether a man can use his property because of an environmental philosophy or opinion as against the requirements of Village ordinances. could be built and still preserve the vegitation and grades of the property. He said that he did not believe that it would make much difference whether or not the haat shodld be developed with three or four lots. He said that Bror Road was only intended to serve Dahlquist Addition and that he did'not see any reason for additional roadways. Mr. Cardarelle said that he would like to check the-grades of some of the houses further. Terrace Drive, said that he lives next to the property and would oppose the plat. He showed slides indicating the heavy vegitation on the property and said that most of the trees would be lost, even with a three lot plat. showed slides of a lot just three lots East of the property in question which he said had been destroyed because of erosion caused by improper grading when an excavation for a house had been started last January. that the same problem would exist with the property in question and that this property also would have to be abandoned. it would be an immoral act on the part of the CounLil to tell the owner that he could not develop his property and suggested that :Eir. Ferguson buy the property himself if he wanted it kept in its natural state. Councilman Johnson's motion was then seconded by Councilman Van Valkenburg and carried continuing the matter to September 17, 1973, in order to get additional information from Mr. Cardarelle before making any decision.
