It was the majority opinion ofthe Planning Commission the proposed subdivision meets the requirements of the Zoning Code. The Planning Commission did have concerns with the amount of information regarding environmental impacts of developing the property. The areas on proposed Lots 2 and 5 near the ravines is primarily the concern regarding potential erosion concerns and the ability for the stormwater management ponds. In response to concerns addressed by the City, they had revised the plan to better protect these areas. This included relocating the pond on Lot 2 about 40' to require less grading in the area near the drainage ravine. The trees at the edge of the ravine would be protected. The property line between Lots 2 and 3 has be i shifted to the north and the road length shortened to bring the building areas of the lots to the top of the hill and to increase the buffer area to the ravine. The Planning Commission had a failed motion to table the application (3 to 4) to request additional review of the impacts of the development and to allow the MC WD an opportunity to review the wetland delineation for the property. The developer had hired Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company to complete a review of the wetlands and determined the NWl map does not indicate wetlands on the site. They also completed a site inspection and found no hydrophytic plant communities, wetland hydrology, or hydric soil indicators. Kjolhaug noted in their letter, dated September 15,2000, "There are no areas on the Wildhurst Site meeting wetland criteria. The neighborhood group had provided a report that was completed in 1997 that found a small area of wetland on proposed Lot I. The MCWD has visited the site and will make a determination on the reports completed on the property. Attached is a copy of the Staff Report that was presented to the Planning Commission on September 18,2000 for review. Council Action Requested Motion to direct Staff to draft a resolution based on the plan dated September 1 2,2000 attached to this memo as Exhibit A.
