Case No. AS 99-1 Stephen Wensman indicated that Heritage Landing Development is requesting an Administrative Subdivision to create one new lot from a 7.14 acre parcel; Parcel A - 5.78 acres and Parcel B-1 .36 acres. He noted that Parcel B contains a large wetland which is undefined at this time. He further noted that staff is unsure as to whether Parcel B is buildable. The property is located south of Highway 10 and west of Waco Street. Steve Wensman reviewed the staff report on this issue. He noted that staff is proposing to postpone this request until the applicant can provide wetland delineation. e Mayor Klinzing opened the public hearing. Richard Kincannen. indicated that the boundary of the property can be extended allowing for a larger buildable area. He further indicated that the definition of the building site has not yet been determined. and that at this point it would be prohibitive to spend money for wetland delineation. Council member Thompson indicated that the Council needs to know the actual building space prior to acting on the request. Dennis Chuba indicated that the property will be used for billboard advertising at the present time. and that there is no immediate need to determine wetlands. There being no one for or against the matter. Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Peter Beck suggested not dividing the property at this time. and to place the sign on the property as the principal use. The sign could then be removed or placed on a separate parcel when the property is subdivided. The City Engineer indicated that another solution would be to consider a worse case scenario for the wetland. and to determine how far the lot line would have to move, giving the developer a better idea of the buildable lot line. It was the consensus of the Council to have the applicant to discuss the issue further with staff. e COUNCILMEMBER FARBER MOVED TO POSTPONE A DECISION ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL APRIL 19, 1999, TO ALLOW THE APPLICANT TIME TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE FURTHER WITH STAFF. COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
