Council Member Goetten <br />was present. Chair Lindquist called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. <br />SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING/PUBLIC INFORMATION REVIEW <br />( 01) #2275 TED AND M'YRNA WOLF, 900 WILLOW DRIVE NORTH - <br />SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC BEARING 7:03 -7 :15 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the application is a request to divide an existing 11.66 acre lot <br />into two lots, Lot i and Lot 2 with Outlot A. She indicated that the property is unusual in <br />• that it is an existing lot that is platted to water. The property meets the zoning <br />requirements for the specific zoning district. The question remains whether the outlot in <br />Shadowood should be opened for access to Lot 2. Staff recommends it not occur as there <br />is sufficient area along Outlot A. Van Zomeren said Staff recommends approval with <br />conditions as noted for screening and retention of the loop driveway on Lot 1 _ <br />Mr. Wolf said he was not aware of the recommendation for screening and questioned <br />where this would occur and for whose benefit. Van Zomeren explained the reasoning for <br />the screening. Wolf said he did not care to have screening to protect views from his <br />property and noted there were bushes on the neighboring property screening that area. <br />Wolf noted the large mound system and trees on the back portion of the property. With <br />the house located far back on the property, Wolf did not understand the reasoning for the <br />screening request. Van Zomeren said Staff wanted to ensure that screening was in place if <br />the property were to be developed. <br />
