• PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING APRIL 13, 1994 Rezoning and the preliminary plat and recommended approval with the conditions outlined in the report dated April 7, 1994. Mr. Landers asked why the proposed mitigation on the wetlands was 1:1 when the new rules require 2:1 mitigation. Staff advised that the mitigation plan had been approved by the Watershed District prior to the new rules being in effect and added that criteria to determine replacement also involves types of wetland being filled and created. The wetland being filled, in this case, is a degraded wetland along the side of Sherman Lake Road. The wetland to be created will be of a higher quality than that replaced. Mr. Landers was also advised, in response to his question, that the property was located within the MUSA Boundary. Mr. Schones asked why the zoning was proposed to be R -1X rather than R -1 and if that would have an impact on the wetland replacement. After some discussion he was advised that Pheasant Hills Preserve is Zoned R -1X and that the zoning does not have any effect on the mitigation or wetland replacement plan as far as the Watershed District is concerned. Mr. Mesich expressed concern about the installation of silt fence during development and was advised that the property is being sold to Contractor Developer Properties who are developing the balance of Pheasant Hills and that they would be required to sign a Development Agreement and post financial guarantees to insure proper development including erosion control. There was some discussion regarding the location of the transportation trail. Ed Hasek, representing the Developer, indicated that they are working with the County to locate the trail within County right of way. The location of the trail in the right of way would be an acceptable alternative to the Park Board and is common practice along Birch Street. After further discussion Mr. Schones moved and was supported by Mr. Robinson to approve the Rezoning from R to R -1X and the Preliminary Plat as submitted with the conditions outlined in the Staff Report dated April 7, 1994.
