Vice Chair Davidson noted that Option C was discussed at the last <br />meeting, not Option A. She asked if there is an option somewhere • <br />between Option A and Option C, to create fewer lots and more open <br />spaces. <br />Mach stated the role of the Board is to address the environmental <br />aspects and while he agrees not much has been gained <br />environmentally, he is sensitive to the economic issues. <br />Asleson stated they bought the land to develop into houses and the <br />question being asked is how few homes can be built and the project <br />still work. He noted the developer has addressed issues of <br />buffering and greenway. Asleson stated the developer will have to <br />address the density and financial economics. He explained that 2.5— <br />acre lots are not part of a conservation development, as they can be <br />subdivided in the future. <br />Vice Chair Davidson agreed and noted that large lots are also not <br />conducive to wildlife corridors or contiguous areas. <br />Trehus noted that with this plan the number of lots has been <br />increased and the road right -of -way reduced, which is a win -win <br />situation for the developer but not the City. He suggested there <br />should be some tradeoffs for the City to benefit and asked if a <br />formal application has been made. <br />Mr. Adolph stated a formal application has not yet been made. <br />Mach agreed that this type of development would be attractive to <br />older couples and empty nesters so there would be a lower <br />population. <br />To increase viewsheds, Donlin suggested Lots 7, 34, 35, 46, 51, and <br />52 be removed. <br />Trehus stated he would like to see the calculations on impervious <br />surfaces. <br />Mach asked if it is up to the association to address tree <br />preservation. Asleson reviewed several tree preservation /protection <br />options used by other communities and commented on the importance of <br />assuring City input into those issues. <br />The Environmental Board indicated a desire for a fewer number of <br />lots and more upland preservation. <br />Heritage Development Submitted a new Concept Plan on December 13, <br />2000 to Planning and Zonning based on standard zoning subdivision <br />development. Please refer to table in Jeff Smyser Report dated <br />December 13, 2000. As you can see the parcel lot lines have been <br />platted entirely through the greenway space areas previousl <br />considered. The area blanked out in the SW corner is an outlot. P &M, <br />has asked for more open space and discussed trail issues. <br />17apicc &_PepeauovBoapS X111 o A1vo Aaxeo7 <br />
