Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 20, 2014 Page 14 erty and area, staff would attempt further research between Mr. Mueller's proper- ty and the inlet and provide any additional information to Mr. Mueller. Mayor Roe stated that, once more was known about the grading plan and tree im- pact, even if all the trees were eventually preserved along the outside exterior, his question remained as to whether that part of the property was being used to move water, and how that would impact the overall area. Mr. Mueller advised that he would replant any trees to the new homes would not be visible from the road. Councilmember McGehee stated that she was more interested in infiltration than an outflow pond to provide some filtering of the storm water. At the request of City Manager Trudgeon, Community Development Director Bi- lotta reviewed the next steps, including additional preferences expressed by the City Council for a 32' wide road with parking on the street versus a series of pads around the edge; and sought further clarification as to whether or not their prefer- ence for that 32' was for a private or public roadway. Regarding the stormwater issue, Community Development Director Bilotta noted his understanding that the City Council preferred maximizing infiltration opportunities, and determining how best to get to the public output. The Council majority seemed to favor a private versus public roadway, however, were flexible depending on other elements. Mayor Roe suggested that staff review parking needs and determine the best compromise between a road and driveway, and which approach was best, whether the road ended up 32' or not. Councilmember McGehee stated that she hated to see a 32' road due to the addi- tional impervious surface; however, she stated that she didn't want to see eight car parking pads either, but didn't know what the balance actually was. Coun- cilmember McGehee stated that she would prefer only three lots/homes and no more. Mayor Roe suggested that Mr. Mueller work with staff to determine actual park- ing needs. Community Development Director Bilotta clarified that his understanding of Council directive was to reduce impervious surface as much as possible, whatever works the best, with street width or overflow parking areas, and whether best as public or private parking.
