Senior Planner McGuire Brigl reviewed the staff report. The Council can make decisions related to density transitioning, which is required when developing lots abut lots with City utilities in this area. Previously, this project came forward requesting an easement for the density transitioning buffer area so they are proposing plantings along the western boundary of the site. The proposal is an easement and City code requires a separate outlot that would be managed by an HOA. There is no HOA here so the applicant is requesting an easement, which the Council will be discussing. She noted the applicant is on the call tonight to answer questions. Councilmember Musgrove commented that for the residents, Staff, and Council to be able to track developments as they change names, it would be good to put in the alternate name. She then asked about the number of trees on the lots. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied two trees per lot are required. Councilmember Musgrove referenced a diagram of Lot 3, Block 1, noting they have the old diagram of where the house is sitting versus the new diagram where the driveway would be more on the curve and the house would be set more off to the side. She asked if the Council has the updated drawing that would coincide with house placement. She also asked about the natural gas easement where she thought there was an understanding there would be trees. She noted Block 1, Lot 9, on the side where they are discussing the tree barrier. She questioned if the Council is looking at an updated diagram to be able to approve it. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied the plan has not been fully updated with all the comments because a decision about an outlot versus an easement hasn’t been made and it could potentially change lot sizes and the HOA on site. Councilmember Riley referenced previous discussion and stated the Council had talked before that an HOA would only exist for the outlot. There were concerns about the success of that so he didn’t feel that was the best idea. He noted each individual lot would own it itself and the City would put an easement on it. He asked if he had that correct. Staff confirmed that was correct. Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to direct Staff and applicant to proceed with the second part including density transitioning as a part of the lots and to cover it with a restrictive easement in favor of the City. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Kuzma, Councilmembers Riley, Woestehoff, Heineman, Howell, Musgrove, and Specht. Voting No: None. 7.02: Adopt Resolution #21-219 Granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Declaring Terms Agreement at 7127 Highway 10 NW; Case of Ron Touchette Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Raines reviewed the staff report.
