Planning & Zoning Board May 14, 2008 Page 2 Paul Bengtson, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. City Staff recommended approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat with conditions as stated in the staff report. Mr. Tralle opened the Public Hearing at 6:40 p.m. Scott and Vicky Byrne, 1410 Canfield Road, stated that they understand the process but they have not had any direct contact with their neighbors about any grading concerns. Jennifer and Layne McCleary, 2383 65th St., live on the property to the west. Mrs. McCleary had a brief conversation with the applicant's surveyor about the possibility of removing dirt from an island area between the properties but never heard back about the issue. The McClearys were concerned about what exactly was planned for that area as they have an existing retaining wall that would be affected. The McClearys were happy that the house has been demolished, but did not want to bear any additional expense to realign their landscaping. Mr. Studenski described the proposed adjustments to the retaining wall and grading. Board Members confirmed that the applicant and the McClearys understood the process involved, and that the McClearys did not want to be burdened with a cost to change what is on their property, and that everyone was in agreement.
