MINUTES OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 17, 1989 ZCMIMG PILE «1366>B11TTBRFIBLD CONTINUED Planning Commissioner Brown mentioned the fact that the percolation testing had not yet been done. Gaffron stated that soil borings were taken and preliminary testing indicates that the soils were typical for the area. Before Mr. Butterfield can obtain a building permit, the perc tests must be performed. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Planning Commissioner Bellows, seconded by Planning Commissioner Brown, to recommend approval of application #1366. Approval would be subject to staff recommendations 1 through 7, and in addition thereto, that no structures be built upon the area south of the Luce Line. Kelley clarified that no building could begin until positive results were obtained from septic tests. Gaffron added that this matter would not go before the Council for final plat approval until such time as those results were determined. Motion, Ayes»6, Cohen, Nay, Motion passed. #1334 SIDNEY RBBBRS 715 NORTH BROWN ROAD CONDITIONAL USB PBRMIT/PRD AND « CLASS III PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION Mr. Rebers was present for this matter, as was Mr. Stephen Pflaum and Mr. Robert Kost, representing Mr. Rebers. Zoning Administrator Mabusth reviewed for the Planning Commission the reason why Mr. Rebers was back before them. The City Council, at their December 12, 1988, meeting, had amended the subdivision proposal to have only 4 lots along the northern property line rather than 6. This realignment would cause the pad size on each of those four lots to increase considerably. The Council referred this matter back to the Planning Commission to have them review and determine if there was a need for additional controls on those lots because of the larger sized building pads. CounciImember Goetten clarified that she wanted the building pads on those 4 lots decreased to limit the size of homes that could be built. Planning Commissioner Bellows believed that five lots would have been a more equitable solution. She stated that in nearly all subdivisions, lots had their narrow dimension to the street and were deeper. This allowed for more lots and less street frontage^ By using a 4-lot proposal, there has been a creation of "abnormal lots” because they have more width than depth. This would allow for more density in that area than five lots would have allowed. It was her suggestion that this matter be forwarded on to the Council with a recommendation that there be 5 lots along the northern boundary. Planning Commissioner Johnson concurred. Planning Commissioner Hanson asked for a comparison of lot
