City Planner Anderson understood there was a nice line of evergreen trees on this property and <br />were considered significant trees. <br />Chairperson Bauer recommended the site plan be approved contingent upon the tree removal <br />being addressed by City staff prior to being completed. <br />Mr. Schultz stated he was proposing to remove 54% of the trees and by code he was allowed to <br />remove 70% of the significant trees without replacement. He requested the proposed site plan <br />contingency address this City Code language. <br />City Planner Anderson reviewed the applicant's tree preservation plan for Lots 1 and 2. Staff <br />was comfortable with the Site Plan as recommended. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that at some point in the future the row of <br />trees on Lot 2 would go away when the property was developed. <br />City Planner Anderson clarified that the building coverage was less than 45%, which should be <br />amended within the Findings of Fact. <br />Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt Resolutions #17-02-034 and #17-02-035 approving Findings of Fact favorable to <br />the Applicant and granting a Variance to the impervious surface requirements in the Shoreland <br />Overlay District, amending the building coverage percentage within the Findings of Fact. <br />Motion Carried.
