Gaffron indicated that staff would recommend approval of the proposed preliminary I’RD, subject to the 9 general and specific conditions noted w ithin the staff memo dated June 24, 2004, and direction to draft a resolution for preliminary plat approval. Gaffron pointed out that staff feels development of this site as PRD is an appropriate zoning and win-win situation for the C'lty and the developer, since otherwise the 14 dry buildable acres might put one of the homesites south of the creek ne.xt to the Luce Line. In addition, the FRD allow s the City to impose a higher standard to mitigate any negative impacts of the clustering w hile prescn ing substantial areas of wooded ‘dry buildable ’ land as open space that might otherw ise have become hoiiKsites. He pointed out that in all 7 lots, it would be reasonable to require any new con.struction to meet a 30’ setback from the other. With regard to accessory buildings, Gaffron suggested the Council determine a standard that could be put in place for this development concerning setbacks, buffers, etc. In addition. Gaffron slated that stalf would recommend that no structures, no fences, no non-domestic animals (horses, sheep, chickens, etc..) no tree or vegetation removal except by specific permit for maintenance, no excavating or earth movement, be allow ed; except for the maintenance of w alking paths.
