APPROVED MINUTES 5. ACTION ITEMS A. Golden Acre/Preliminary Plat Review This project is located in Mar Don Acres, between Lois Lane and Arlo Lane. Mr. Anderson is requesting preliminary and final plat approval to subdivide an existing 1-acre parcel into a four (4)-lot subdivision titled Golden Acre. The City Council previously approved the preliminary and final plat approval along with the variances in 2006. That approval has since expired and the applicant has resubmitted the request. The City will require perimeter control around each house pad at the time of construction and rock entrances are required for each lot. The City will also require an infiltration basin to control volume and runoff pollutants from the site. As part of the tree preservation, remove the dead cottonwood. The two pines will be the owners’ responsibility Ms. Kaufenberg would like the builder to consider native vegetation outside the pond area.
