Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. PLAT The City Planner suggested that based on the discussion of the Richie REVIEWS Plat this evening, the City may want to consider identifying areas of the City it feels appropriate for larger lot zoning. The Planner expressed concern with identifying these areas on a plat by plat basis, and felt that establishment of a specific zoning for larger lot areas was preferable. Allan agreed with the Planner's suggestion. Blesener felt that such a zoning would make sense for some areas that abut areas with large lots or wetlands. The Planner also suggested that in addition to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, it could consider ordinance amendments that require natural feature preservation. Blesener stated his feeling that a 500 foot limitation on a cul-de-sac was not realistic. Keis felt the limitation was not a bad one, and stated that he did not want to change it at this point. The Planner indicated that he has never had a challenge to the temporary cul-de-sac Code provision. The Planner felt that the main question was whether consideration should be given to creating a different zoning district for larger lot development. 22
