The following represented the City Staff: <br />Building and Zoning Administrator Mabusth, Assistant Planning and <br />Zoning Administrator Gaffron, and City Recorder Scheffler. <br />PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT #3 <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that reviev/ <br />of this item be delayed due to the absence of three Planning <br />Commission members. <br />#1470 BILL KNAPP/DAN PARTEN <br />4300 BAYSIDE ROAD <br />PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />REFERRAL FROM COUNCIL <br />7:00 P.M. TO 7:20 P.M. <br />Mr. Knapp was present. <br />Gaffron stated that Mr. Knapp has purchased this property <br />from Mr. Parten. He said, "Mr. Knapp intends to develop the <br />property as a three-lot PRD. as previously suggested b> staff and <br />the Planning Commission." Gaffron showed a sketch of the <br />pj^operty and the planned development. He said. One of the <br />concerns expressed in previous reviews involved access for <br />parcels north of this property. Currently these properties <br />achieve access by crossing the Luce Line and the owners prefer it <br />that way. Is it necessary to consider a future alternate access <br />via Mr. Knapp’s property? Another issue is a possible <br />north/south connecting corridor. Again, the residents in the <br />were opposed to such a proposal. With regard to tha Nature <br />Conservancy, the Public Works Director has asked that an easement <br />be provided with this PRD to access that property." Gaffron <br />reviewed the other issues relating to this development (see <br />Michael Gaffron's memo dated September 18, 1990). <br />Kelley asked Gaffron to comment on the proposed alternate <br />septic site proposed for Lot 1, Block 1. <br />Gaffron replied, "It is the only option available.” <br />Kelley asked, "It may be the only alternative, but does it <br />make sense and will it work?" <br />Gaffron replied, "From a technical standpoint, it is <br />possible to pump over to the alternate site. It is a long <br />distance and will require a large pump. Due to the steep slopes <br />of the property, that is the only possible location for an <br />alternate site." <br />- 1 - <br />D-i
