Voting Yes: Acting Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Riley, Williams, Kuzma, and Shryock. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Strommen and Councilmember Johns. 7.04: Consider Multiple Actions Related to a Proposed Subdivision Known as Estates of Silver Oaks 2nd Addition (Project 17-119); Case of Silver Oaks Realty 1. Adopt Ordinance #17-09 for a Zoning Map Amendment 2. Adopt Resolution #17-09-219 Granting Approval of the Final Plat and Development Agreement Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to approve the Final Plat, Zoning Amendment, and Development Agreement contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review letters. He stated that while the project will result in the loss of some significant tree cover, it does comply with the Tree Preservation Ordinance. He stated that the Final Plat does show a relocated driveway access to Highway 47 for Lot 5, Block 2, further north on the property to address concerns previously noted by the Planning Commission. He stated that while this project would require a Zoning Amendment and a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the area immediately south of the subject property is zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA) and was reguided to LDR with a previous Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Councilmember Riley asked for more information on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Community Development Intern Henderson stated that as proposed the applicant would like a higher density development which would require a rezoning to LDR. He noted that the property to the south is already zoned MUSA and therefore this rezoning would be compliant with the neighboring zoning. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the act of the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment would extend the MUSA area and result in quarter acre lots rather than two acres lots. He noted that mailings were sent to the surrounding neighborhoods and there were no negative comments received. Councilmember Riley asked if this property would have access onto Highway 47. Community Development Intern Henderson stated that there was safety concerns with the existing access and therefore the access would be relocated to a better position and no additional accesses would be added. Councilmember Shryock asked if land is going to be reserved for trail easements in the future. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that a trail easement is not requested but noted that there is space and that could be added as a separate recordable document.
