P&Z-2- 3/5/79 Sketch Plan - Ron Westby Mr. Westby was present with a sketch plan for the property previously owned by Bertha Mae Smith which had been denied for subdivision by metes & bounds. After reading the engineer's letter of March 5, 1979, Mr. Westby was advised by the Commission to proceed with a preliminary taking into consideration the recommendations of the Engineer in his letter of 3/5/79. Due to soils condition, it was suggested that Mr. Westby discuss with Mr. Raatikka the possibility of eliminating some of the items mentioned, and requesting variances. Flintwood Hills Plat II Mr. Raa~kka read through the Engineer's report and the commission discussed the poor soils conditions plus the deficient lot sizes in various blocks of the plat. After lenghty discussion of possible solutions, it was the consensus of the commission that Mr. Carson rework the plat and submit a revised preliminary. A special meeting was tentatively set for March 8, 1979. Ms. Schneider stated that she would research the park dedicati6n ques.tion,· as she remembered Flintwood I. Mr. Art Dunn stated that he was not comfortable with using a mounding system for the sewer,°and suggested certification of each building lot. Also discussed was the ponding area for drainage, and Mr. Raatikka reminded Mr. Carson of a drainage problem existing still from Flintwood I. Conditional Use Permit - Case of George DiemertIII A public hearing was held earlier during the evening with Mr. Diemert III answering questions from both comission members and citizens. Motion by A1 Sorteberg, seconded by Art Dunn to recommend to the City Council to grant a conditional use permit to Mr. George Diemert III, to allow construction of a solar greenhouse on his property located at 8221 - 151st Lane N.W. subject to the following: 1.) No retail sales or signs on property. 2.) Rear and side setback requirements be met. 3.) Screening by lombardy poplar be provided. 4.) No outside storage of material.s. 5.) reviewal in two years. Motion carried 4-0 Gerry Zimmerman arrived Oakrid~e Estates (formerl~ Tierra Estates)- Preliminary Plat approval. The Engineer's report was read and the developer stated that they could cut down the size of the cul-de-sac so as to avoid asking for a variance. Mr. Sentryz explained that he would like to be able to do custom grading of each lot, and receive site plan approval at the time a permit is requested. Art Dunn expressed concern with several sites due to the slopes and sewer, and Mr. Sentryz stated that this could be handled through terracing of the lot. Mr. Sentryz stated that he did not want to disturb any more trees than necessary, and Mr. Dunn explained that if a first system should fail, it would be very difficult to remove the nec- essary trees later. Mr. Sentryz explained that this would be considered before site approval would be asked for. Discussion of responsibility for Llama & 161st streets was again discussed and explained to the developer their earlier recommendation in regards to this. Motion by Gerry Zimmerman, seconded by Art Dunn to recommend to the City Council to approve the preliminary plat for Oakridge Estates subject to the following: 1.) variances be granted to allow the delay of site approval by building official until custom grading can be done, and.that site plan approval be provided prior to issuance of building permit. ~'
