Public Hearing Mayor Rose opened the Public Hearing at 7:02 p.m. to consider rezoning property and Opened Minor Development Plan for Briarcliff Development Company, Jackie with Shafer, Kline & Warren spoke to the board tegazding the rezoning request. The request is for rezoning at NE comer of Valley Drive and West Platte Road, acres from an R-1 Single Family Residential to Planned Development (PD) and a development plan has been submitted (minor development plan), There are 11 lots and 2 tracts, each %: acre. This is at 42°" Street running east and west, intersecting with Valley Lane. All lots except for 10&11 will have access off the newly constructed 42ad Street or the newly constmcted cul-de-sac. The request is for 2 variances from single family standazd at the cul-de-sac and minimum front yard set back of 20 feet because of saving the trees. All houses will have side access garages. There are 2 common areas, the larger common area on the south portion containing a club house and pool, eventually. There will be a small retaining waU on the east aide to preserve some of the trees. Both of the open spaces will be maintained by the Home Owner's Associations. Planning and Zoning did recommend approval of rezoning and the preliminary plat. Alderman Super said there ate 3 un-platted areas on Tract A and these areas are not included in the proposal. For the variance on the lot width, they are asking for 20' on all of the lots to preserve trees. Jackie said the entry would be from the side. Alderman Fuller asked if the exception was on the lazge lots (for the trees) and Jackie said they are trying to maintain as many trees as possible so the trees won't have to be moved and push the house back. Mayor Rose said several of the lots are heavily wooded and Alderman Super said most of the lots, at present, aze 30'-35' for the wooded addition and this request seems rather close. Aldemtatt Fuller said this would be narrower than eight feet. Minn. 3/17/09 Jackie said the footage can be moved further back if needed, but they want a 20' minimum. Alderman Super asked if on Lots 10&11, if there was anything discussed with the fact that there is transition from Valley Lane on down as there is no transition from 2-4 lanes on the layout. This is a rather hazardous corner coming out on 42nd Street, north on Valley Lane. Alderman Super said it was discussed with the staff to adjust the transition from 2-4 lanes and this needs to be considered as something that needs to be discussed more. Jackie said she can check to see if there were any discussions with the architect prior to this. Brett Cox with Olason Associates said plenty of site distance is on the north and south. The set back could go back and make the right rum a tittle bit bigger. Mr. Cox said they will work with the staff and adjust it back, if this is the solution. It was stated the right-of- way will end at the edge of the parking lot for the minor development plan. Jackie said the club house plans will need to be seen. This is preliminary plan and the road or other things can be (worked through) considered for the final development plan, Ed Trader, 849 NW Valley Ln, thinks there a safety issue with the transition on the curve at 42°d Street. Mr. Trader asked if a buffer zone had been considered between his property and the new Briarcliff addition. Ed would also like to know what kind of trees are being preserved (scmb trees). Chris said oak trees, as many as possible plus scmb brush will be cleaned out. The builders will bring the plans with the trees that will be marked and the layout will be approved. Chris said there is no standard buffer zone set. The minimum size of the house to be built has not been set yet, but it will be above 4- 5,000 square feet.

Mayor Rose said David has du•ction on this and hopefully, will be looked into in the next 2-3 weeks. Alderman Super said to make sure we don't "same source" (options) asking the City Attorney if this is right and John said, construction, "yes," not necessarily on architecture, as it is a qualification based process. Alderman Hurt said he would like to know what we could expect to get out of a remodel. Mayor Rose said a vision planning meeting recap is needed and wants to continue with the idea and to consider the downtown redevelopment, Horizons and Implementation-Project Manager.
