Waters Bay Final Plat The City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for a 3 lot conventional subdivision called Waters Bay on February 16, 1999 subject to three conditions, Compliance with the City Engineer's memo, Confirming legal status of Outlots; and a single access to Lake Jane Trail for Lots 1&2, Tim Freeman submitted a drawing showing how the combined driveway could be accomplished. Council member DeLapp referred to the February 16, 1999 Council minutes where he brought up, according to code, the minimum driveway angle from a two way access street shall be 90 degrees and from a one way street shall be 30 degrees. On the Plat presented, the driveway is a 60-degree angle. He wanted to address driveways now because of the concern on landscaping between property on the south and Lot 2. If the driveway angle has to change to 90 degrees, then it will push the driveway further into the lot and provide a greater buffer to the neighboring properties. Tim Freeman said he could change the driveway to a 90-degree angle so the driveway will be further away from the Taylor property, Since the Preliminary Plat approval by the Council, the City received letters from adjoining property owner's addressing the location of the shared driveway serving Lot 1 &2. Adjoining property owners were in attendance indicating their concern that the plan was not redrawn with the driveway serving Lot 2 to continue on and serve Lot 1, as discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement regarding the transfer of the Outlets to the adjoining property owners. These actions are to be completed and recorded prior to issuance of any building permits by the City. Since no public improvements are required, no Developer's Agreement is necessary. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to refer the Waters Bay Final Plat back to the Planning Commission to find out what they had in mind on placement and combination of driveways. (Motion passed 5-0). 9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT:NONE 10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: A. Mayor Hunt received a letter from Jim Schug, Washington County Administrator, regarding proposed legislation by the County, which would give them the authority to review all plats that access onto a County road. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct the staff to prepare a resolution opposing any legislation that would give Washington County the authority to review plats within the City. (Motion passed 5-0).
