minimum, the Planning Commission recommended that the development agreement require that the homes be sited in areas of the lot where the width is at least 160 feet. Mr. Peck stated that Northfork Inc., will require that the homes be set where the lot is 160 feet wide. Community Development Director Frolik questioned the City Attorney if the setbacks would require a variance or if they could be included in the development agreement and his response was that the setbacks could be included in the development agreement since they are under PUD standards. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if all the homes will be constructed at similar setbacks. Mr. Peck replied yes, except for Lot 8. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired about the tree preservation program. Mr. Peck explained that, in the past, Northfork Inc., has hired Kunde Company to do an individual analysis on each wooded lot. They will be requiring that each homeowner meet with the Kunde Company prior to construction to determine the best location for their homes having the least amount of impact on the trees.

Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Connolly. Voting No: None. Case #7: Request for a Grading Permit in Northfork Lake Addition; Case of North Fork, Inc. Community Development Director Frolik stated that on February 15, 2000, the City received an application from North Fork, Inc. to regrade Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Northfork Lake Addition. The purpose of the project is to create more attractive, walkout style building sites. In 1995, and again in 1997, the City issued grading permits to North Fork, Inc. to regrade Lots 3 and 4 in Northfork Lake and export approximately 15,000 cubic yards of material from the site. The grading permit was approved in order to create more attractive, walkout style building sites. Both of the previous grading permits lapsed prior to the grading project being initiated or completed. In February of this year, the City received a new application for a grading permit on the subject property. The revised project would consist of movement of about 6,000 yards of materials and no exporting of soils from the site.
