Rahn asked if all the lots are compliant. <br /> Curtis stated,based on the City's definition of dry buildable and excluding the 18 percent slopes or <br /> greater,the lots are not all compliant. <br /> Rahn commented he would like to see something that is compliant with city requirements and with the <br /> lots having reasonable building pads that are not going to require any variances by future owners. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the subdivision should handle its own drainage and that the developer should consider <br /> possible improvements for Wildhurst Trail. <br /> � Gronberg pointed out Lot 5 is smaller but that the existing house on Lot 2 would fit on it. Gronberg <br /> � stated in his view these are adequate building pads and would accommodate the current house. <br /> Rahn asked if they meet the requirements of the 18 percent slope areas were excluded. <br /> Gronberg stated the exclusion of areas with 18 percent or greater slope has not been enforced on any other <br /> subdivision in the past to his lrnowledge. Gronberg pointed out a typical walkout lot is greater than 18 <br /> percent. <br /> Curtis noted Asst. City Administrator Gaffron has submitted a memo on this application. <br /> Rahn asked if there is a bluff setback and a bluff buffer. <br /> Curtis stated a 30-foot setback is required from the top of the bluff. <br /> Rahn asked if these lots comply with that. <br /> Curtis indicated they do. <br /> Gronberg stated Asst. City Administrator's Gaffron's view was to take the bluff area and setback out of <br /> the lot area,which in his view is too onerous. <br /> Curtis stated she agrees and that the 18 percent areas outside of the bluff is a point of discussion for the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> Page <br /> 14 <br />
