LLLP for a Conditional Use Permit for Woodland Hills Planned Unit Development. Public Hearing - Case No. CU 04-03 Senior Planner Scott Harlicker presented the staff report for these items. S & A Family Investments requests a zone change from R1c to PUD, a conditional use permit for the PUD, and preliminary plat approval to subdivide 52 acres into 135 single-family lots and 5 oudots. The proposed plat (Woodland Hills) is located on the east side of County Road 1 south of Elk River Country Cub. Mr. Harlicker reviewed lot sizes, setbacks, layout of the lots and streets, environmental issues, and park dedication considerations. He reviewed areas where trees would be saved, and also, noted that the tree loss would be relatively the same with a conventional R3 plat. Staff recommends tabling the requests to allow revisions to the plat and to publish a public hearing notice for the conditional use permit. Commissioner Stevens asked if the developer would be required to replace trees. Mr. Harlicker stated that there is nothing in ordinance to require replacement of trees, but that through the PUD, additional plantings and clustering of trees can be negotiated. Chair Pederson opened the public hearing. Marty Campion, Civil Engineer of Otto & Associates, project engineer, introduced Scott Breuer, applicant. Mr. Campion stated that a number of concepts have been presented to the Commission since mid-2003, including a townhome development, a conventional plat under the existing zoning, and a Planned Unit Development (PUD). He stated that the direction he received from the Commission was that there was some work yet to be done, but that they generally supported this the layout of the PUD which is being presented, or one very similar. He explained that due to the topography, the site will have to be graded no matter what type of development is proposed. He noted that minor revisions were made to
