D-1 pLANNING COMMISSION BUSINESS 1. Preliminary Plat approval - Roland Looyan Mr. Looyan appeared before the Commission on 2/5/79 with a sketch plan for subdivision of his property. No action was taken and he was advised to obtain soil tests because of soil conditions in that area. On 7/2/79 Mr. Looyan again presented a sketh plan and supplied soil tests as requested previously. He was told he could appear before Council with two different alternative plans, A & B, to receive direction before proceeding with preliminary platting and find out the status of the road easement that he had previously agreed to give to the City. On 7/23/79, he appreared before Council with. his plans A & B and was informed that Plan B with a cul de sac may be the best or that he should plat no more than two lots and the City would retain rights to the road. Mr. Looyan then researched the cost of platting, i.e., topography, road improving costs, etc. and decided it not economically feasible for him to plat Plan B. On 8/27/79, he went to Council for a determination on plans for the road easement (Garnet Street). He was informed that he could have one access for the other lot created by dedication of Garnet Street but that any other building permit requests would require that he blacktop Garnet Street. On 9/10/79, Mr. Looyan entered into a development contract for constructing the additional home or his property lYing east of Garnet easement and south of 167th Avenue. He is seeking preliminary plat approval for creation of the additional lot and he has submitted a future resubdivision plan in accordance with the City ordinance. ENCLOSURE - Preliminary & Final Plat Drawings Future Resubdivision Plat Drawing Copy of Development Contract 2. Preliminary Plat approval - Alpaca Estates This property has gone through t~e rezoning process. Findings of Fact were adopted and the ordinance has been amended therefor. This plat was before P & Z on 9/4/79 for sketch plan approval - minutes enclosed. Mr. Jason Jentzsch, of the Environmental Quality Board called this week stating that this development would also require an Environmental Assessment Worksheet along with the "Critical River" review (which has already been obtained~. He is sending a letter and information on this assessment and it should be here for Monday's meeting. It has something to do with any commercial development of 20,000 square feet or more with 1500 feet of river frontage requires this worksheet and even though this commercial area of Alpaca Estates does not abut the River, it is part of land that does and in this case, it is their interpretation that this Environmental Assessment Worksheet must be applied to this case.
