Bill Ryan suggested that the applicant look further into the possibility of reducing the number of proposed lots with double frontage. Susan Albee asked Mark Koegler, Project Consultant, what is the estimated schedule for phasing. He stated that the phasing is tentatively 1984 for Phase I, 1984-1985 for Phase II and 1985-1986 for Phase III. Albee felt that the City should con- sider timing its Lake Lucy realignment plans to coincide with Phase II. Some of the Commissioners were concerned that about 1/3 of the lots were under 12,000 square feet. They stated that they should look at eliminating some of these if possible. Albee moved, seconded by Ryan, to recommend the applicant proceed with the preliminary development plan. All voted in favor and the motion carried. ~ Discussion: Proposed Wetland Management Ordinance The Planning Commission and Environmental Protection Committee e e .
