3, Thomas Klingelhutz
Waibel presented the staff report and stated that this was an
informal review on a proposal to develop 92 unit single family
detached residential district. He stated that the lots vary in
size from 22,000 + square feet to 7,500 square feet and the
general pattern is to locate larger lots in areas adjoining other
properties and existing development on steep slope areas while
infilling the development interior with the smaller lots. He
stated that the proposed plan was consistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the development would be zoned
P-l, Planned Residential Development District.
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.

met jointly to discuss any possible reV1S1ons to the Wetland
Management Ordinance prior to presenting same for public hearing.
The Commission and Committee agreed to a number of grammatical
and housekeeping revisions in the draft as well as referred cer-
tain sections to the City Attorney for further explanation and or
revisions. Waibel stated that it is quite likely that the
changes discussed could be taken care of in time for a November
30th public hearing.
Discussion: zoning Ordinance to Designate City Council as Board
of Adjustments and Appeals
Mike Thompson suggested that if the BOA meet on Wednesdays at
6:30 p.m. before the Planning Commission meetings, possibly there
would be someone that would be able to do this.
The members of the Commission reaffirmed their concurrence with
the City Attorney that making the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals a one step process would save staff time and costs.
Jim Thompson moved, seconded by Albee to recommend the City
Council adopt the amendment of Ordinance 47, Section 22
designating the City Council as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Discussion: Meeting Schedule for November and December
The Commissioners agreed to change the second meeting of November
to the 30th of the month. The Committee discussed the December
meeting schedule and decided not to make any changes at this
time.
Jim Thompson moved, seconded by Albee, to adjourn the meeting.
All voted in favor and the motion carried. Meeting adjourned at
10:15 p.m.
