REGULAR MEETING OF THE OROPJO COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 23, 1978 Page 10 These shortcuts make it impossible for staff to SUBDIVISION prepare adequate reports. Without public hearings, 3024 Casco Point Road we lose the necessary input from the general (Continued) public. More tines than not we all end up with headaches. This is one of those headaches ! Although this lot split was previously approved, I would suggest we reconsider before we finalize the project. The original simple subdivision apPlication was submitted on February 25, 1975 (only one month after application was submitted) . Although A1 Olson ' s memo dated October 18, 1977, states that we should evaluate the low drainage area and soil conditions , you will note on my original memo dated P4arch 13, 1975, I indicated these same points. I included two photos of the low drainage area. I also Met on the site with John Gerhardson and he felt the drainage could be _directed so as � to not interfere with the neighbor. I also obtained letter of no objection from several of the neighbors. Neither the Planning Commission nor the Council addressed these points when they were brought to their attention. The conditions of soils is not the responsibility of staff at the tiMe building permits are issued. Foundations and supports of structures are determined by the soil conditions. If soil conditions are questionable, we require soil borings and recorunendations from engineers to prevent failure of structure. One year and three nonths after obtaining City approval of the proposed lot split, P�ir. Braun and Mr. Plo�,�man retuYned with the necessary mylar and hardshells for fi: al approval (June 28, 1976) . Council approved the final plat subject to a park dedication fee of $2 ,000 and engineer' s approved drainage plans. Since that time, we have heard nothing. Until now, one year and four months later. They are requesting approval of the final plat. Since the statue of limitations has expired and our policies and procedures have changed some- what, I would suggest re-evaluation of the proposal. Planning Commission Pieeting - November 7, 1977 Mr. Steve Plowrtan and his attorney were present. The Planning Corirlission directed staff to schedule a public hearing for earliest date possible. Zoning Administrator informed Planning Corunission and applicant that certified list of owners within 300 ft. would have to be provided by applicant before public hearing could be scheduled.
