Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 28, 2010 Page 18 C'.ouncilmember Ihlan advised that the public had brought forward through their verbal and written comment, four sets of concern that could be addressed under the power of the City Council to deny based on the health, safety, welfare and general good order to the community clause of the overall subdivision language in Section 1101.01. Councilmember Ihlan advised that those concerns consisted of: neighborhood character; environmental -loss of trees and green space (even though private property); threat of diminished property value or difficult sales; and only one major access. Mayor Klausing advised that his intent in providing for a more formal review and Public Hearing process at the Planning Commission level would be for the pur- pose of a more transparent process; and that consideration be given to tabling this proposal until the application was verified based on statutory provisions. Marilyn Silvas Ms. Silvas clarified that the cul-de-sac was one mile long from Cleveland Avenue to Highway 280, with Midland Hills Golf Course abutting more than half of that length, and having a 10' cyclone fence and no access available to leave for those 300 families. Councilmember Roe questioned if, based on his review of the language of Section 1101.04, the City Council was being overly cautious based on how the processes were defined; however, he expressed his support for clarifying the language if so desired by the majority. Councilmember Roe noted, as it related to following sta- tutory guidance, City Councilmember Ihlan made a good point related to consid- eration of the overall health, safety and welfare in reviewing any application. Councilmember Roe, spoke in support of a motion to table action to clarify the ordinance. 12. Business Items (Action Items) a.
