• • Planning & Zoning Board June 13, 2001 Page 29 Mr. Lyden asked if the cul -de -sac could be brought the opposite way. Mr. Ruus stated that had not been looked at and he was not sure if the previous designer had looked at those options or not. He stated they were limited however by wetlands and topography. He also indicated that by doing that, he did not believe it would eliminate access off of 12th and Holly. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to closed the public hearing at 10:45 p.m. and was supported by Mr. Lyden. Motion carried 5 -0. Mr. Rafferty stated he would like to see the lot lines realigned to create a better neighborhood. He would strongly support that effort so it would all come off of the same cul -de -sac. Mr. Ruus stated he understood the Board's concerns, but Lot 8 could be the problem. He stated Lot 1 was more workable. Chair Schaps also agreed in combining Lots 1 and 2 and splitting Lot 8. Mr. Ruus stated if that was the direction, they would need to start all over. He indicated the economic impact would affect them and they would need to redesign this area. Mr. Rafferty expressed his concern about them starting over again because of the loss of two lots. He stated this was very close to being a very acceptable plan without redesigning the whole area. Mr. Ruus stated it was his understanding this was what the City was looking for. Ms. Lane stated she did not have concern about Lots 1 and 8, but did have concerns about the access on 12th and Holly and would not support this because of that Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to deny the preliminary plat application, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 5 -0. Chair Schaps stated the reasons for denial were as follows: 1. There was a reasonable use of the property in question. 2. There was no plight of the landowner due to physical circumstances unique to this property. 3. There is an economic consideration. 4. Not applicable. 5. The Ordinance did allow for reasonable use and there was also a question of access and safety. With respect to the preliminary plat, the reason for denial was because of access and safety issues; no neighborhood consistency; and not all driveways being located on the cul -de -sac. J.

Chair Schaps reopened the hearing at 11:00 p.m. There being no comments made, the public hearing was closed.
