Planning&Zoning Board <br /> September 9, 1998 <br /> Page 9 <br /> Chair Schaps stated the park is in the same place. Mr. Brixius noted the park had not <br /> been placed on the previous plat. <br /> Chair Schaps stated the revised plat is not consistent with the desires of the Park Board or <br /> the Planning&Zoning Board's recommendations. Mr. Brixius verified that the revised <br /> plat is not consistent with the Planning& Zoning Board's recommendations. <br /> Chair Schaps stated a number of things have not been done to the revised plat. He noted <br /> they may have not been done due to a lack of time. <br /> Mr. Johnson stated that the tree preservation is crucial to the layout. He indicated he <br /> would like to see a tree preservation plan and talk to the City Forester and Environmental <br /> Board. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that he feels uncomfortable with moving forward at this time. They <br /> have given the applicant more time to meet the requirements for land acquisition. They <br /> have given specific guidance to the applicant that has been ignored. He stated he feels it <br /> is mandatory for the applicant to meet with the Park Board before coming back to the <br /> Planning&Zoning Board. He stated he is not opposed to the project he just does not <br /> believe it is ready. <br /> Mr. Corson stated the trees are a big issue. He expressed concern regarding a macro scale <br /> and staff viewing it on a micro scale. He suggested identifying each lot and each tree to <br /> be saved on each lot. Mr. Brixius stated staff has not given the project that consideration. <br /> Staff has looked at design. He stated he is hesitant to recommend approval of the <br /> application. <br /> Mr. Corson suggested looking into a tree preservation plan and perhaps having a <br /> presentation made to the Board regarding this issue. Mr. Brixius stated that a <br /> recommendation for approval could include comments from the City Forester and <br /> Environmental Board. <br /> Mr. Jackson stated the City does do a micro scale view of subdivisions by addresses. Mr. <br /> Asleson does visit the sites and determine which spots require tree preservation. The <br /> process is very effective. <br /> Mr. Mike Quigly, Gor-em LLC, came forward and stated he felt it is not fair to say they <br /> have ignored the Board's recommendations. He stated they have gone overboard in <br /> responding in a timely manner. Some areas regarding the recommendations are not in his <br /> control. When the property is platted it will meet all the City Ordinances. <br /> Chair Schaps asked if Mr. Quigly has met with the Park Board and received a <br /> ^ recommendation from them. Mr. Quigly indicated he has not met with the Park Board. <br /> The Park Board has asked for a 3 acre parcel of park land within the plat. The Park <br />
