The property owner of Tract G become a co-applicant and agree to allow the property to be replatted If he will remain the owner subsequent to plat approval. B. More detailed engineering data is required to ensure lots will be provided with safe driveway access. The City recommends driveways not exceed a 10 percent slope. C.

Van Eeckhout commented the road access issue is a legal issue and Indicated he is willing to work with City Staff to resolve this issue. Van Eeckhout stated the letter received from his title Insurance company indicates that they are willing to guarantee access to this subdivision via this driveway easement which was granted a number of years ago. Van Eeckhout stated he has revised the plans In an attempt to comply with the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City Staff. Berg stated they would be willing to relocate the road to help increase the lot size of the two north lots, reduce the encroachment into the wetland area, and preserve more trees. Smith inquired what the impact would be if the road were relocated right next to the wetland. F.erg stated any runoff from the road would need to be directed to the other side Into a holding pond and away from the wetland area. Berg commented In his view this would not be a major issue to resolve. Smith commented the only way to create lots of one acre or more was to reduce the number of lots from four to three. Page 10
