City Council Minutes <br /> March 17, 1997 <br /> Page 7 <br /> • <br /> John Peterson of Good Value Homes indicated that in order for the plat to be <br /> economically feasible the plat was designed with higher density and modest <br /> priced homes. <br /> Mayor Duitsman indicated his concern with the plat in that there are drainage <br /> issues that are not addressed, and no consideration given to the number of trees <br /> proposed to be taken down. He indicated that the project should be <br /> redesigned. <br /> Mayor Duitsman entered into the record two letters; one from Lois Carton and <br /> another from Marian Jacobs, the property owner. <br /> COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 97-20 DENYING A <br /> PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CHERRY WOOD HILLS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS <br /> OF FACT: <br /> 1.

THE PROPOSED GRADING PLAN WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT <br /> OF GRADING TO OCCUR RESULTING IN THE SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF A <br /> MATURE WOODLAND AREA. <br /> • 3. A COMPLETE SUBMITTAL OF STORM DRAINAGE INFORMATION HAS <br /> NOT BEEN SUBMITTED TO ALLOW FULL REVIEW OF THE <br /> GRADING/STORM DRAINAGE PLAN. <br /> 4. THE PROPOSED PLAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH ADJACENT <br /> DEVELOPMENT AND MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE <br /> REASONABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. <br /> 5. THE PROPOSED PLAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE <br /> PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES TO ENCOURAGE SUBDIVISION DESIGN <br /> WHICH PROTECTS WOODED AREAS AND NATURAL CONTOURS. <br /> 6.
