• • • Planning & Zoning Board December 8, 1993 commented that the only reason the property was rezoned to R -4 was to provide for the Senior Cottages. Mr. Brixius stated that although that was the reasoning, a property can not be rezoned for a specific use - that is why the PDO Overlay was included with the R -4 rezoning - to provide additional control over the development of the properties. However, any R -4 use could submit plans for a PDO for this property and the City would be required to provide appropriate review of the request. A resident, Mr. J. P. Houchins, asked what type of barrier is proposed between the properties and the freeway. Mr. Johnson explained that a 5 -6' berm with 8' evergreens staggered on either the top or sides of the berm is proposed. Mr. Robinson then made a motion and was supported by Mr. Mesich to table the request and continue the Public Hearing until the January meeting, provided a rezoning application is submitted. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. 93 -22 -P, Fox Trace, Subdivision -Ware Rd /Hodgson Road Mr. Brixius explained that this is a request to plat 55 lots on a 25.67 acre parcel of property (2.6 units /acre) just north of 62nd Street between Ware Road and Hodgson Road. The property is Zoned R -1 Residential. Several concerns were outlined in the staff report including wetland mitigation, findings regarding the vacation of 62nd Street, modification of plat to avoid wetlands, RCWD review, isolation of Lot 6, additional depth on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 21, Block 2, and other items. Staff has recommended this request be tabled until RCWD has reviewed the wetland delineation and mitigation /grading plans and until staff has had more time to review other items of concern. Mr. Clyde Rehbein was present and stated that he has met with Kate Drewry of the RCWD and made some modifications to the plat according to her suggestions. These modifications have reduced the number of lots. Peterson Environmental has done a wetland delineation and an application will be submitted for review by RCWD. He indicated that the P & Z has given concept approval and they are seeking approval of the preliminary plat contingent upon items listed in the staff report. Al Robinson stated that he has a concern regarding mitigation and problems which could occur if the plat is approved before reviewed by RCWD. Mr. Mesich asked about access to the property to the south and a temporary cul -de -sac. Planning Coordinator Wyland explained that the property owner to the south had contacted the City today and expressed concern should his property become land- locked. It was further explained that if any right -of -way is to be vacated, a public hearing would have to be held to consider said vacation. 3
