He noted that that last summer staff completed the <br /> necessary changes to the planned unit development and low, medium, and high-density <br /> residential district zoning regulations. He explained that the proposed amendments to Section <br /> 9.50 (Subdivision) have been drafted and are ready for review. Mr. Gordon noted the <br /> subdivision chapter was up for discussion at this meeting and deals with lot approval, splits, park <br /> dedication fees, design standards, grading plans, etc. He indicated the updates would improve <br /> the process for both developer and staff after this was approved. Mr. Gordon ran through the <br /> changes in Chapter 9 with the Commission and asked for their questions and comments. <br /> Commissioner Watson asked if this Ordinance was up for approval tonight. <br /> Principal Planner Trudgeon noted the Ordinance would be discussed this evening and a public <br /> hearing would need to be held before it could be approved. <br /> • <br /> Commissioner Van Scoy asked if the fee schedule for plat fees was part of this Ordinance. <br /> Principal Planner Trudgeon noted the Council approves a fee schedule every year and this <br /> Ordinance refers to that document as it changes on a yearly basis. He noted these changes would <br /> require Ordinance approval every year with these changes. <br /> i <br /> Vice Chairperson Reeve asked if the City Attorney always reviews the title of a property. <br /> Principal Planner Trudgeon noted this has been done in the past to make sure all title issues are <br /> clear before plans are finalized. <br /> Commissioner Brauer questioned if the 350-foot notice requirement for public hearing notices <br /> should be enlarged. <br /> Principal Planner Trudgeon indicated staff would be notifying residents at the sketch plan phase <br /> to keep them involved in items in their area and staff is currently notifying property owners <br /> within 700 feet of a potential project. <br /> Commissioner Brauer stated he felt that 700 feet should be placed in the Ordinance for major <br /> j plats. <br /> Planning Commission/March 6,2003 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
