�ll UTES OF THE ORO O PLA I�G CO�l�IISSIO JUNE 19, 2000 (#2596 BRENSHELL HO IES, CONTI UED) City Staff is recommending this application be tabled until the next Planning Commission meeting in order to 3i e the Applicant time to resolve some of thes issu s. Steve Behnke stated he has a number of questions relating to the issues raised in the Planner's report. Behrlce stated currently in his vie"· Gard n Lane as being r quired because of Lot 64, ,1-·hich is the lot to the north being a potential public access to a private lot. Behnke stated in his opinion Lot 1 does sho,v over one-half acre dry buildab le outside of the NURP pond, with the engineer for this development calculating h\'O thirds dry buildable on this lot. Lots 2 and 3, lot v/dth variances ,vould not be nece sary since at Wildhurst Trail the lots are 224' and 153', and if measured along the setback, there is th potential that they are less than 140', , are obviously greater in wi . c1cross the northern section. Behnke po inted out both lots \vill be ocated on a cul-de-sac. Hehnke stated it , .. -as on the recommendation of City Staff that this plan took the approach from OarC: .. r.· Lane. Lot 4 also contains enough frontage along Garden Lane and \\·ould not need a . vanance. B!·hnke ackno\vledged that there are issues relating to grading and drainage concerning this property, \\"r1ch ,vii need to be addressed further. B hnke stated it is his opinion that Lot 6 and the ravine ha e been addressed. Behnke noted they ha· e adopted the DNR 's definition of a bluff as e method of determining the top of the ravine. The top of the ravine does not extend to Garden Lane and ends prior to i ) and because of that, the acreage on both sid s is being incorporated into the dry bui dable cres. B hnke stated the dri e,\'ay does not impact the ravine proper as de·fined b · the bluff definition. Behnke stat d Lot 6 co nsists of approximately 1.25 acr sin size, and they \\'Ou ld be able to manipulate the lot r ne if n essary. Behnke commented the current division of \\'at r bet\\' en the north and south is ssentially equi alent to ,,·hat it ,vas prior to this plan b ing created� \\'ith this d�velopment not increasing the , ·ater runoff. Behnke stated the intention of the NURP pond is to hold the , ater to allow it to drain to the ravine at the same rate that it is currentlv. Behnke stated the ,vat r that drains to this property offsite is also included in the URP pond proposed for Lot 1. Behnke stated the comment by the City Engineer that all drainag be directed to the north is opposite the natural d. r ction of the ,\·ater. Behnke stated in his vie,v there e some inaccuracies i the statements by the it · Engi nccr. Behn e stated ·n his opinion he should not be responsible to extend Garden Lane to the north as part of this project since they arc off site. Bchnk indicat d th y are in agreem . t ,vith th standard easements and that Outlot A should be a public ri · t-of-,vay \,·ith he road being a public road due to the number of houses that ,vi II be serviced by · t. Behnke stat d th y "·ill continue to ,,·ork \\'ith City St ff on these issues. Behnk no ted the proposed drainag for this d. · lopm nt is design -1 to keep the \\·ater runoff at the sam r t as ,,·hat curr ntly exists n the rav · e. \ · c :1berg r stated re a dies of th on -half a r dry con iguous, th se lots are located \vithin the or.. \,,;re zoni.ng di trict ands 111 quir th on acr. dry bu:ld bl r gardless of being separated b a drainage area. \ inber er stat d Lo t 6 doc me t this r q irem nt ,, ·rh Lot l being less than one PAGE 21
