OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Preliminary Plat PZ88-4: Dena'Ina Point Estates Add #1 - ~ Mr. Sam McLane, representative for the developer Royce Roberts spoke. Mr. McLane explained that the plat is the same as presented at the special meeting. Additional notes on the plat PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION May 25, 1988 Page 2 are for not cutting of trees or vegetation in the screening easements and buffer zone. The terminology has been changed in regards the screening easement in the ROW, because you can't really have an easement on top of a ROW, so its called a screening buffer zone on the plat. Commissioner Nault asked for clarification of the new road system, Mr. McLane explained. Planning Specialist Loper asked the intended lot size within the residential section, Mr. McLane answered that the minimum lot size allowable in the RS zone is 60', however, anyone who would plat bluff property down to that width would detract from the value in my opinion. Chairman Smalley asked for clarification of which tracts will be the residential, answer from Mr. McLane tracts 6 and 7. The Commission next discussed drainage and easements on the east side. The Commission voiced concern for the delineation of zoning in its final phase. While not usually done, the Commission requested the zoning reference to which tracts are commercial and which are residential be put on the plat. Mr. McLane made reference to the Land Use Plan, advising the Commissioners that this document also needed changing to conform to the zoning change at the time of f fling . Commissioner Bryson stated that the developer is .going to have to decide also, which Suburban Residential zone he wants to have, we have three RS zones. The commitment they had made initially was that generally this area would remain residential. Mr. McLane stated that the same lot characteristics, same zone, etc, as the entire Dena'Ina Point Estates. Commissioner Bryson answered that it is the most restrictive of the three residential zones, I believe, small lots. Mr. McLane asked for clarification of the three suburban zones. The Commission answered by showing Mr. McLane the chart in the code. Commissioner Church asked what the decision was to be this evening, answer from Planning Specialist Loper, review and recommend on the preliminary plat. Commissioner Church asked where it goes from this meeting, answer to the Borough Planning Commission. Chairman Smalley asked if the City would have a chance to look it over again, answer no, not unless specifically requested. Commissioner Bryson asked if the City were a Board of Adjustment, Mr. McLane read the Borough Subdivision Ordinance which indicates that it is not in this case. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson: I moved for approval of Dena'Ina Point __~ Estates Addition #1 in accordance with administrative recommendation, also I would request that the plat should be submitted to the City Council for ratification and approval and PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION May 25, 1988 Page 3 ~ also that Tract 6 and 7 are to remain in RS zone in accordance with submitted development plan, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly. The Commission discussed further verbiage. Commissioner Bryson asked if this is pretty much in accordance with what you feel is workable, answer from Mr. McLane yes, the note will be put on the plat regarding the zoning and according to the engineer's comments. MOTION AMENDMENT: Commissioner Bryson, with consent of second I would like to include the planning staff comments which run somewhat counter to my statement, i.e., the reference regarding the zoning, please exclude and incorporating only the City Engineer's comments, second approved. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. b. Preliminary Plat PZ88-5: Spur S/D #8 Mr. McLane is the surveyor for this parcel also and explained that he was working in conjunction with Carmen Gintoli on the congregate housing project and was originally lot 1. The rebar was set and all the field work done, however, Carmen and some of the seniors realized that ground to the east was available and after reviewing the overall budget, they found they were able to plat both lots. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved approval as submitted, seconded by Commissioner Church VOTE: Motion passed unanimously c. Preliminary Plat PZ88-6: Golden North Estates #2 Planning Specialist Loper explained that the revised plat submitted this evening shows the existing building under construction. The plat came about as the result of the building being constructed across the panhandle to the rear lot. The replatting removes the lot line by shifting the panhandle from the northern side to the southern side. There are sufficient setbacks from all sides according to the surveyor. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved approval as submitted in accordance with staff comments, seconded by Commissioner Church. j VOTE Motion passed unanimously PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION May 25, 1988 Page 4 8. PLANNING Planning Specialist Loper stated that the Building Inspector, Howard Hackney noticed that there were no provisions in the tables for the new zone and asked that the Review Board take a look at it, draft some revisions to that portion of the code and pass it on to you.
