MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 11, 2009 Knudsen asked about easements. Johnson reported that the development received Watershed approval last week. He described the proposed ponds that will exist on Lots 2 and 5, noting that given there is not a lot of impervious surface proposed, the ponding requirements are minimal. Knudsen asked when the Lot 5 pond would be installed. Johnson replied that it will be constructed when Lots 3, 4, and 5 are constructed. Johnson also noted that when Lots 3, 4, and 5 are constructed, sanitary sewer will have to be brought in to serve these lots. Knudsen asked about removal of the existing tennis court and the shed. Dennis Claridge, Pinot Properties, replied that the temlis court will remain, and the future buyer of Lot 3 will decide whether or not to keep the tennis court. The shed will be removed next week. 'T'he City Planner stated that it was his understanding that the tennis court would be removed when the second phase Final Plat was processed. Johnson noted that it was their widerstanding that one of the accessory buildings had to be removed right away and that the tennis court would be addressed when Lot 3 was final platted. Duray asked about a landscaping plan and a tree preservation plan for the development and specifically Lot 1. Johnson noted that they have shown housing pads on the site plan, siting those housing pads to minimize tree removal. Johnson indicated that each of the lots will be custom graded as it is developed. He believed that buyers will see value in the existing trees and will work to preserve them. Johnson also noted the increased setback along the western edge of Lots 3 through 5, which will preserve additional trees. Johnson reported that grading plans will be submitted as each house is developed, and the issues of landscaping and tree preservation would be addressed at that time. The City Planner indicated that the lots will be custom graded, and the development agreement will require the submission of landscaping plans and tree preservation plans as each lot is developed. Duray asked about park dedication. The City Planner replied that the Park Commission recommended a cash park dedication which would be collected at the time building permits are issued for the four new lots. Duray recommended approval of the Final Plat for Huot Addition, which consists of two single-family lots and one outlot, as requested by Pinot Properties, subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his June 3, 2009 report and the reconnnendations of the City Engineer as outlined in his May 29, 2009 report. -3-
