<br />10. The City shall approve the vacation of the existing easements on the property <br />prior to the execution of the Final Plat. <br /> <br />Chair Larson inquired about a trail on the right of way on the property. Mr. <br />Lehnhoff stated the trail would be on the 33-foot strip ofthe plat. <br /> <br />Chair Larson opened the floor to Commission questions. <br /> <br /> <br />Chair Larson stated the Planning Commission isn't very willing to approve a plat <br />in an area that is marginally buildable. He stated he would not want the builders <br />to come back and request a variance for an approved lot. <br /> <br />Ms. Beekman stated there have been two residents that have expressed concerns <br />about preserving the wetlands. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thompson stated that there shouldn't be any tree removal until a <br />building permit is issued. Chair Larson stated that it is a condition of approval. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman inquired about the pad size of Lot I. Ms. Beekman <br />stated the area is 4,105 square feet. <br /> <br />Chair Larson clarified that the area is outside of all easements and setbacks. <br /> <br />Chair Larson opened the public hearing at 6:51 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Larson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and <br />make comment. <br /> <br />Linda Swanson, 1124 Anderson Road, stated she understands that the project <br />meets the building codes. She inquired about the timing of the tree removal ifthe <br />builder doesn't find a developer. Chair Larson stated the builder wouldn't be able <br />to remove the trees until a building permit was issued. <br /> <br />Ms. Swanson inquired about the length of time a building permit is valid. Chair <br />Larson stated a building permit is valid for 180 days and explained the terms of it. <br />He stated it would be possible for a building permit to be issued, the property <br />graded, trees removed and then the property could sit without work while the <br />building permit expired. <br /> <br />Ms. Swanson inquired about potential damage to the road since it was recently <br />reconstructed. Chair Larson stated that the road will be damaged because utilities <br />will need to be placed underground. He stated the City requires a bond from the <br />developer to ensure that the developer repairs any damage to the road. <br /> <br />Mr. Lehnhoff stated the developers are required to sign a developer's agreement <br />which states that they need to repair the road up to the City's standards. <br />
