6. Review/Action on Preliminary/Final for Landon Court (7:14 p.m.)
See handouts. This is a six-lot subdivision with a home currently on one lot. C. Steele suggested that preliminary and final not be addressed at the same time. C. Volden asked whether Lots 4, 5, and 6, have had the front and rear setbacks identified. David Bunker reported that the rear lot line has been defined on Lot 6 as both the southernmost and westernmost sides. The fire department needs to be consulted to determine whether they can get access with half of the bulb. C. Hammer said he would like to ensure that the adjacent property (Levine property), when developed, would complete the bulb as anticipated. Rodney Despain and David Bunker explained that when the Levine property is developed, the City will require the bulb to be completed. Rodney Despain pointed out that the timing for future development of the Levine property is uncertain, so the Commission has to be content with the subdivision as it stands. The Commission and staff agree that the private drive is a better arrangement than flag lots. Rodney Despain and David Bunker both recommended approval.
MOTION: C. Hammer - To recommend preliminary approval of Landon Court based on discussion we have had, noting several items that appear to be deficient and need to be corrected prior to final as noted in our discussion and in the January 26, 2006, memo from David Bunker. Seconded by C. Volden.
AMEND MOTION: C. Hammer - To amend the motion to state preliminary plan and final engineering drawing shall conform with the City requirements as directed by the City Engineer. Accepted and seconded by C. Volden.
C. Hammer said that front and back lot lines, address requirements, fire department approval of the bulb also needs to be addressed by the developer. Kim Holindrake said that if there are criteria that the developer needs to meet, it should be specified in the motion.
Nay-C. Hammer
C. Maxwell
C. Petersen
C. Steele
C. Volden Motion fails.
MOTION C. Hammer - To recommend preliminary approval of Landon Court, subject to:
1) The items noted in the January 26 memo from David Bunker,
• Final Plat requirements
• Setback definitions for lot 6
• Water rights for five lots shall be required to be submitted to the City
• Sewer main extension for property to east shall show stub & plug
• Storm drain details shall be in accordance with City specifications

• Water system at intersection of 4000 West 9600 North shall be shown correctly
• 8 inch valve shall be required at Landon Circle
• Show all fire hydrants
• Submission of Storm Drain calculations shall be required
• Submission of construction site storm water management plan
2) Adding to that list the deficiencies with respect to front and back lot lines, 3) Address requirements particularly with respect to Lots 4, 5 and 6, 4) Fire department approval with respect to the bulb and the turn around radius, and 5) That final plans shall conform with the City requirements as directed by City Engineer. Seconded by C. Maxwell.

The Commission was concerned with the lengthy list of items with the preliminary approval.

C. Maxwell
C. Petersen
C. Steele
C. Volden Motion passes.
Rodney Despain stated that he is concerned with water rights. He also noted that the final plat dedicates a lot of land to the south, which is offsite to the subdivision. David Bunker said that the only dedication on 4000 West would end at the southernmost property line. Kyle Spencer said that the flagpole on 4000 West is a result of the research in the preliminary boundary report and record of the survey.
7. Review/Action on Concept for Woodis Subdivision (7:51 p.m.)
See handouts. The Woodis Subdivision is a split of one lot into two. There is an existing home on 4000 West. The property to the east of the Woodis residence will be subdivided to create a new single family residence. There is already a water and sewer lateral stub to that lot. When Bevro Heights was developed, the road was extended to 4000 West. Curb, gutter and sidewalk would need to be completed. There is no extension of the Pressurized Irrigation main south of Monson, and it ends at the intersection. As part of the project, it is proposed that the City extend its main to the south. That would need to be done before the curb, gutter and asphalt. David Bunker would like to get a bid from the developer’s contractor. There is no record of water rights being submitted for Lot 2.
MOTION: C. Volden - To recommend concept approval for the Woodis Subdivision, subject to: 1) Curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the entire perimeter of subdivision with proper alignment north and south of 4000 West, 2) Extending the Pressurized Irrigation line to the southern lot line of the Woodis property, and 3) That water in the amount of 1 acre foot for Lot 2 be remitted to the City. Seconded by C. Maxwell.
Aye-C. Hammer
C. Maxwell
C. Petersen
C. Steele
C. Volden Motion passes.
David Bunker excused - 8:10 p.m.
