Reconsideration of Planning Case #95-23, Homes by James I <br />Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, advised the new property owner has asked I <br />the Council to reconsider one of the conditions of Planning Case #95-23, Beutow RLS <br />Subdivision, because they would like to change the driveway location from the southwesterly <br />side of 1417 Forest Lane. He explained the property owner hired a professional forester to I <br />review the site and develop a different plan since following the conditions of approval results in <br />the removal of nine trees and a driveway with an 18 percent slope, which is relatively steep and <br />possibly a safety hazard. Mr. Ringwald advised the forester prepared two plans, one with a "Z" I <br />driveway configuration starting at the southeast comer resulting with nine trees removed and a <br />1 0% driveway slope. The second plan shows the driveway on the easterly side and the removal <br />of nine trees and a 12% driveway slope. Mr. Ringwald noted that the forester is of the opinion I <br />that two of the trees to be removed in the last option have a high potential to die due to current <br />cracking. Staff is comfortable with the requestcd modification and talked with the adjacent -- <br />property owner (Dorothy Pederson, 1409 Forest Lane) who indicated she is also comfortable as <br /> I <br /> . <br /> J <br /> ------ <br />
