It would specify a maximum street grade of seven percent and would require City Engineer approval of all retaining walls. It would require approval by the City Planner for all trees removed to develop individual lots. It would require an erosion control plan approved by the City. The conservation easement would protect the existing The 1. 2. 3. 4. The Community Development and Planning Commission and staff have recommended preliminary plat approval subject to: 1) Development agreement, 2) Conservation easement, 3) Developers agreement for public improvements, 4) Final plat approval, and 5) Subdivision dedication and utility connection charges. Presentation bv DeveloDers Rick Carlson, Jyland Development, told the Council they are still requesting a five lot subdivision for the following reasons: 1. 2. 3. Meets the requirements of Ordinance No. 804 as to lot size, width and depth. 4. Would fit with the character and aesthetics of the neighborhood, with less visual disturbance. A four lot subdivision would greatly exceed neighborhood market values and would be difficult to market. Conservation easement would preserve the area along Valley View Road. With regard to an eight percent grade rather than the seven percent grade recommended by the Planning Commission, Mr. Carlson pointed out that it would mean four foot less cut into the top of the hill, would require one less retaining wall, would maintain the elevation for the Peyton home, would provide better access to the Peper property, and would provide a flat cul-de-sac. I --” 14 3 7/1/91 L Daniel Spiegel, 7104 Valley View Road, voiced concern that the public might have a tax burden because of the construction of the road servicing the proposed subdivision and, in the future, the Peper property. Mayor Richards answered that the benefitted properties would bear the cost of any public improvements including the construction of retaining walls, sewers, roads, etc. Council Comment/Action In response to Member Rice, Engineer Hoffman said the Public Works Department would consider the difference in maintaining a seven percent or eight percent grade to be minimal. there would be less site impact. He reminded Council that the original plan was at a 10 percent grade and that following the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Council, the grade was reduced to a recommended seven percent. Planner Larsen added that an eight percent grade would be acceptable and Member Kelly commented that she would like to see the proposals for the whole area, including the Peper parcel, before making a decision on subject subdivision. Sydney Rebers, 6919 Dakota Trail, stated his understanding was that Outlot A was a piece of property that was not going to be used for anything. Council should consider the whole package before making their decision. Richards said his understanding was that Outlot A would be deeded to the Pepers or deeded to the public for future access. He concurred that the Mayor Member Rice made a motion to approve the preliminary plat for Jyland Uhitney Addition, subject to the conditions recommended by staff. second.

The public has been adequately protected, the Member Smith said he had understood at the close of the previous hearing, that the developers would be back with a proposal for a four lot subdivision as requested by the Council. Since the developers did not do so, he could not support the five lot proposal. Mayor Richards suggested that the matter be continued to August 5, 1991 when all Council Members would be present. Member Kelly then withdrew the motion; Member Rice withdrew the second. ' Mayor Richards made a motion to continue the proposed subdivision hearing to August 5, 1991, so that a four-lot subdivision proposal could be submitted, and to insure a full Council for a f-lvote.

The first sign can be no larger than 100 square feet, the second sign can be no larger than half the area of the first sign. The first sign erected (Ethan Allen), was 81 square feet; therefore the second sign (Leisure Lane) could be no larger than 40.5 square feet in area.
