5. ACTION ITEMS
A. Golden Acre/Preliminary Plat Review
This project is located in Mar Don Acres, between Lois Lane and Arlo Lane.
Mr. Anderson is requesting preliminary and final plat approval to subdivide an
existing 1-acre parcel into a four (4)-lot subdivision titled Golden Acre.
The City Council previously approved the preliminary and final plat approval along
with the variances in 2006. That approval has since expired and the applicant has
resubmitted the request.
The City will require perimeter control around each house pad at the time of
construction and rock entrances are required for each lot.
The City will also require an infiltration basin to control volume and runoff pollutants
from the site.
As part of the tree preservation, remove the dead cottonwood. The two pines will be
the owners’ responsibility
Ms. Kaufenberg would like the builder to consider native vegetation outside the pond
area.
Mr. Sullivan questioned the location of the infiltration basin pond.
Mr. Asleson stated that the infiltration basin would be behind the homes.
Ms. Andrzejewski recommends forwarding the preliminary plat on to the P&Z and
the City Council. Ms. Holmes seconded the motion 6-0.
