Planning & Zoning Board <br />September 9, 1998 <br />Page 8 <br />Chair Schaps called the meeting back to order at 8:07 p.m. <br />V. ACTION ITEMS <br />C. Clearwater Creek 3rd Addition, Preliminary Plat (revised) <br />Mr. Brixius stated that Gor -em LLC's development application for a preliminary plat <br />entitled Clearwater Creek 3rd Addition was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its <br />August, 1998, meeting. At that time the Planning Commission chose to approve the <br />request to rezone the subject site from R, Rural to R -1, Low Density Residential. The <br />Planning Commission also chose to extend the review period for the preliminary plat to <br />120 days in order to review a revised plat at the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr. <br />Brixius reviewed the revised preliminary plat. <br />Mr. Johnson indicated there is a possible problem with lot areas B and C because street B <br />dips out of the 3rd Addition. He stated it makes sense to remove two lots from the 3rd <br />Addition. Mr. Brixius stated it does not matter because it cannot be built on. The starting <br />point is street B and as it continues east it dictates the location of the lot. The City will <br />make sure it is up to code. A legal plat will be required. <br />Chair Schaps stated there is a lot that needs to be done for completion of the preliminary <br />plat. <br />Mr. Trehus questioned what type of tree preservation plan would be used. Mr. Brixius <br />explained that the typical arrangement is to visit the site and identify trees that are <br />significant and 6" caliber. It is not realistic to save every significant tree. <br />Chair Schaps noted that 12 of the 60 lots are not compliant. <br />Mr. Trehus asked if it is possible to have walk out basements and still have trees. Mr. <br />Brixius stated the trees to be saved must be identified and then the grading plan will be <br />integrated around that. <br />Mr. Trehus asked if a standard has been defined for preserving trees. Mr. Brixius stated <br />he does not believe a standard has yet been defined. <br />Mr. Powell stated that Mr. Asleson would visit the site. Tree preservation is a field <br />activity. <br />Mr. Robinson asked what changes have been made from the last plat that was presented. <br />Chair Schaps stated that some recommendations have been ignored. Ms. Wyland stated <br />that some of the recommendations have not yet been completed. <br />• <br />• <br />
