Motion, Ayes*3, Kelley, Moos and Cohen, Nay. #1326 NATZATA COUNTRY CLUB 200 HATZATA BOULEVARD CLASS II PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:17 P.M. TO 7:53 P.M. Mr. John Downey, General Manager of Wayzata Country Club, was present for this matter, as was Mr. Ponald Lauer. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron reported that he had received information verifying that Wayzata Country Club does have the right to cross the properties to the east to access North Ferndale Road. The Country Club also verified by letter that they are a party to the application. A revised conceptual site plan was also provided showing the house location. Also, a general grading plan was submitted and the City Engineer, after reviewing the plan, has indicated that an additional swale will be neces'^ary. Gaffron reminded the Planning Commission and pu’^’ic that the house plan was only conceptual, not actual. C e the final house footprint is determined, it would be necessary to have the City Engineer review it before a building permit could be issued. Chairman Kelley asked why Mr. Lauer was not required to provide a final house plan at this time, given the sensitivity of the drainage issue. Gaffron stated that such a provision was not required with a subdivision application. Kelley asked how the pubic will remain informed of the revisions proposed by the developer? Gaffron stated that once the subdivision i& approved, the public would not be notified of site plan/grading plan revisions that meet code requirements. Kelley asked how the City would protect the residents who may be impacted by this development? Gaffron stated that they would have to rely upon the conditions set forth in the resolution of approval and filed with the chain of title that specifically states that the City Engineer must approve the final plan. Gaffron stated that the Applicant's Engineer is in the process of designing a retention area to take the water not only from Mr. Lauer's house, but also from other areas of the Golf Course. Kelley commented that such a plan had not been presented to the Planning Commission. Gaffron said that staff had recently observed the drainage f -cern and found it to be different than the existing topography would dictate. Based on staff's observations, the City Engineer has revised his recommendation and so informed the Applicant's Engineer. Kelley said that it was very important that the Planning Commission and public have the opportunity to see what is being proposed. Planning Commissioner Cohen expressed his concern over the easement the Golf Course has to access North Ferndale Road. Gaffron said that there is a 16-1/2' easement on either side of the Country Club's north property line that is granted to the
