- . .. Minutes of Special Council Meeting March 23, 1981 compromise. Wacker explained that the 4' height would be at tree grade; suggested 2' height is extreme, creating a difficult slope to maintain; 3' to 3~' would be a reasonable compromise. Wacker said the proposed "deadmen" anchor design is a simple construction method (4' long posts, driven into the hill); feels this can be done without jeopardizing the tree roots; feels the visual ob- struction is not significantly different from what now exists. After review of the findings of the Board of Appeals and Planning Commission by Miller, and Council discussion, McAllister moved, seconded by Woodburn, that Council approvethe16~' height vari- ance for the 1-694 sign, and deny the approximate 18' setback variance for the entrance sign on Red Fox Road. Case No. 80-19, Preliminary Plat Approval - McClung's Second Addition Miller briefly reviewed the proposal preliminary plat of the entire John McClung parcel, the first addition of which has been platted. Miller explained that the Second Additio~ was approved by the Plan- ing Commission on July 2, 1980.. subject to modifications, and Council on July 14, 1980 expressed concern relative to the number of lots under the required 95' width. Miller reported that the matter was deferred at that time, at the request of the develope~; the proposed amended Second Addition is presented tonight for Council's spproval. Miller reviewed the amended plat, noting the following lots on which variances exist: Substandard depth: Lot 8 125' Lot 10 - 115 ' (DO' required) (5' variance) (15' variance) Substandard width at Lot 1 92.56' Lot 7 85' Lot 8 88.72' Lot 9 85 ' building line (95' (2.4' variance) (10' variance) (6.3 variance) (10' variance) required) In discussion, Woodburn noted that if one less lot were proposed, all lot width variances would be eliminated. It was suggested that if the pathway width were reduced by 5', the depth varian~e could be eliminated on lot 8, as well as increase the lot area. . McClung advised that he has submitted a petition for city to put in the sewer, water and street; proposes a 2-phase feasibility re- port, would like to extend Colleen Drive now, and Chickanee curve improvement as an alternate. In discussion, Miller noted that, while it is not general practice to permit 85' wide cul-de-sac lots, some have been permitted; noted that the Planning Commission recommended eliminating lot width variances, except on the cul-de-sac lots. Miller noted that because of the terrain, the proposed cuI de sac is located where it should be; explained that the purpose of the 95' lot width requirement is to establish density and basic separation of build- ings, providing a quality building site; noted that these can be accomplished on the cul-de-sac lots, at the reduced building line lot widths. -7-
