CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 8, 1994 this preliminary plat dated August 1, 1994 went through the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Brixius explained that the northern portion of the plat is the same as was presented at the May, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board and the southern portion was received in March and was reviewed and considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Brixius stated that what is coming before the City Council this evening is an attempt by the developer to respond to staff comments. The Planning and Zoning Board recommendation was to deny the PDO and go with an R -1X concept. The applicant is pursuing an application for a PDO and in an attempt to get approval is demonstrating compliance with staff recommendations. Mr. Lyden said that he asked a simple question and expected a simple answer. Did this preliminary plat dated August 1, 1994 go before the last Planning and Zoning Board meeting? Mr. Brixius explained that this preliminary plat did go before the Planning and Zoning Board. The August 1, 1994 preliminary plat represents a composite of two (2) plats that were reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. The elements of this preliminary plat have been reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. What is being presented tonight is the applicants attempt to respond to staffs concerns. A staff report was written based on the June 5, 1994 submission outlining conditions that staff felt was necessary for a PDO approval. The applicant is responding to these conditions in an attempt to get the PDO approved. Mr. Lyden asked if the right procedure is to bring this submittal back to the Planning and Zoning Board and not the City Council. Mr. Brixius explained that the last action by the Planning and Zoning Board was to not recommend approval. Therefore the same application is going forward to the City Council for their consideration and action. Mr. Lyden asked Mr. Landers if he saw this preliminary plat at the last Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Mayor Reinert reminded Mr. Lyden that this is an open mike item and not a public hearing. The staff has answered the question, this is a composite of what has already been before the Planning and Zoning Board. Since the Planning and Zoning Board has recommended denial of the PDO, the applicant has asked to bring the matter before the City Council since this is the only place where final action can be taken. Mr. Lyden said that the neighborhood has not had input into this particular preliminary plat. Mr. Brixius explained again that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board is to deny the PDO application. Before anything else can happen, the first application has to be closed based on action by the City Council. Although the applicant has not received a favorable recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Board, the applicant is still requesting a PDO. Modifications have been made based on the recommendations of the staff and the recommendations are outlined in the March and June staff PAGE 6
