Resolution declared adopted. PRELIMINARY Mayor Fahey opened the continuation of Public Hearing to consider a PLAT -BIDDEN Preliminary Plat for Hidden Acres, asingle-family home development ACRES consisting of eleven (11) single family lots as well as opened the Public Hearing to consider application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Planned Unit Development to allow variance in side yard setbacks. Fahey reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission for approval of Option 2 for the Hidden Acres Preliminary Plat which involves road connections to Burke Lane, Yorkton Ridge, as well as Condit Street via the existing 30-foot Nadeau Road right-of=way plus an additional 20 feet ofright-of--way for Nadeau Road. It was noted that the Planning Commission further recommended approval of the original Preliminary Plat submitted (Option 3) should it not be feasible to proceed with Option 2. The Planning Commission also recommended approval of the CUP for Residential Planned Unit Development allow a 5 foot side yard setback on the garage side of the proposed houses in Hidden Acres.

Fahey felt that use of a PUD to make departures from setback requirements was not appropriate. He further indicated that if the Council is inclined to allow a 5-foot side yard setback for garages in the Hidden Acres development, than a full study should be done of the setback issue and a text amendment approved allowing the same benefits to other residential property in the City. With regard to the Preliminary Plat, Fahey indicated that he preferred Option 2. Fahey noted that it appears that it is not feasible to direct storm water to the existing Yorkton pond, and that the Hidden Acres plat will include a small storm water retention pond Gordie Howe, Masterpiece Homes, indicated that this is correct. Fahey explained the three layout options being considered for the Hidden Acres.

Option 2 involves road connections to Burke Lane, Yorkton Ridge, and to Condit Street via Nadeau Road (plus 20 additional feet of right-of--way for Nadeau Road from 2883 Condit Street). Option 3 involves road
