-5- f 1 Motion carried unanimously, 3 The Manager's request for an automatic interpretation related to corner front 4 yards was continued to the next meeting with. the staff requested to prepare a 5 list of undeveloped corner lots with problem dimensions or topography so the 6 Commission can 'assess whether or not to recommend an ordinance change which would 7 encompass all those properties is needed. 8 9 The Commission then considered the request from Brighton Development for final l0 plat approval of the first six units of the Village Townhomes redevelopment 11 project as discussed in the Manager's January 16th memorandum. Mr. Childs indicated 12 the final platting could rioW, be done since the foundations were in and legal separa- 13 tions ascertained between units. He said he expected the developers would be 14 closing on the remainder of the project within the next few weeks although con- 15 struction would not be started until next spring. This would mean the Commission 16 would be getting the preliminary platting sometime soon. 17 18 Commissioner Madden commented that the sign indicating that the old buildings on 19 that property were to be torn down could probably be removed now. 20 21 Copies of the final plat for the first phase of the project had been submitted to 22 the City by Brighton Development with a letter dated December 6th which indicated 23 "the dedication would be added in two weeks" had been included with the Manager's 24 memo in the agenda packet and Commissioner Hansen noted the plat had a notation that 25 it had not been checked as was the case of the two page document the Manager had in 26 his possession. Commissioner Madden said, based on his own experience in the field, 27 he found it quite strange that a document would be submitted to an agency without 28 the signature of a registered surveyor, 29 30 Mr. Childs indicated he had overlooked the notation but it would not have concerned 31 him too much anyway because he knew the document would have to be certified before 32 it could be filed and he was certain the Council would follow its usual practice 33 of making approval subject to the review of the City Attorney. 34 35 Commissioner Bowerman indicated he did not perceive the Commission had been provided 36 sufficient documentation which to make a recommendation to the Council and moved 37 to table as follows: 38 39 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Madden to table the 40 request for a recommendation on the final plat for the Village Townhome project on 41 the basis that the documents submitted to the Commission were uncertified, incomplete, 42 and the Commission did not have sufficient substantiation of the information 43 provided them to make a recommendation to Council . 44 45 Before the vote ,on the motion was taken, Chair Franzese asked Mr. Childs what 46 impact the delay would have on the project, indicating she would not want to impede 47 the developers' ability to proceed with the remaining units, The Manager had 48 commented earlier that one of the purchasers of the six units they were considering 49 had expressed a desire to move in as soon as title could be conveyed. 50 51 Commissioner Madden said he was all for having the developers finish the project i 52 as soon as possible and would not want to be an obstruction to the process over a 53 technicality if that was all that was involved, He reminded the Commissioners 54 that a motion to table was not debatable. 55
