Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 21,2014 Page 17 Jason Hohn,Applicant Representative with Bald Eagle Builders Mr. Hohn asked, if a deed restriction could be accomplished, would the City Council look at the plat as currently designed. Mayor Roe advised that he was unable to answer that question at this time, as there was no motion or vote on the table; but based on discussion, he anticipated that it may be a consideration. City Attorney Gaughan clarified that he was not stating that a conditioned ap- proval could not be done, but he was skeptical that it could be; and would be part of staff's discussions with the applicant in the interim. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that some of those answers be made available by staff and the City Attorney by May 5th, even if the vote was delayed until May 12th, but City Manager Trudgeon suggested keeping the discussion and actions together to avoid any confusion. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Attorney Gaughan clarified that the vote would not require a super majority; and supported City Manager Trudgeon's advice to keep the full discussion and potential action until May 12, 2014. Councilmember Etten expressed his willingness to proceed with a deed re- striction. He noted that matching existing lots actually only applied to three lots on the east side of the development; and he was unsure if there was a need to re- strict the size of the new lots at this time, or what would be gained by doing so. Councilmember McGehee concurred with the comments of Councilmember Etten and encouraged the applicant to see if they could work with LDR-1 zoning, opin- ing that it wouldn't require too much change on their part if the Purchase Agree- ment could be extended. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, TABLING action on this item until the May 12, 2014 City Council meeting for consideration of the plat and rezoning at that time. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Willmus; Etten; and Roe Nays: None. Councilmember Etten expressed his concern with the City's current Tree Preser- vation Ordinance, and identification of substandard trees. Councilmember Etten opined that mature and significant trees were important to a neighborhood, and should be preserved; further opining that the current tree ordinance was not work- ing for him.
