4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven possible
adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our findings regarding
them are:
(1) The proposed subdivision does not create separate build able lots, but will, when combined
with the abutting property bring each closer to the minimum lot requirements of the RR
district;
(2) The proposed subdivision does not create separate build able lots, but will, when combined
with the abutting property, bring each closer to consistency with all applicable city, county
and regional plans including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
(3) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils,
vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and storm water
drainage are suitable for the proposed development;
(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage,
sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this
chapter;
(5) The proposed subdivision will not cause significant environmental damage;
(6) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record, but will provide
additional easements as necessary; and
(7) The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
d. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
5. The planning report #07-14 dated June 19,2007, prepared by Robert Generous, et aI, is
