He stated that he would also support of all three issues for consideration from the staff <br /> report. <br /> Bollis stated that he likes the overall layout and feels it makes sense to him. He stated that conservation <br /> design is the only thing that he would object to not going through. <br /> Thiesse asked if he would support doing conservation only on the front two lots. <br /> Bollis agreed that would make sense. <br /> Thiesse stated that Mr.Newell is improving the first part of the driveway and asked if the City had any <br /> jurisdiction on him changing the existing driveway since it is already there. <br /> Barnhart stated that it is already there, but generally, what the City tries to do with subdivisions is <br /> improve existing conditions and non-conformities,so they do look to make these types of improvements. <br /> Thiesse stated that the City are sticklers for this type of thing and encouraged Mr.Newell to be prepared <br /> to defend his decision. <br /> Mr.Newell stated that he is a landscape architect from Lake Tahoe so he has experience with watersheds <br /> and collection. He explained the reasons for the cul-de-sac placement to allow for a silt pond. <br /> Thiesse stated that he understands,but reiterated that it doesn't meet the City standards so he will need to <br /> be ready to defend it when the time comes. <br /> Ressler noted that this discussion may be moot if Lot 3 ends up being sold,but hoped that the feedback <br /> from the Commission was helpful to Mr.Newell. <br /> Mr.Newell stated that the discussion was very helpful to him. <br /> 7.
