purchase or condemnation of 25' to 30' along the
western edge of this property.
ANALYSIS:
Staff is not particularly pleased with the layout of this
site. The applicant needs to redesign his site plan, so as
to: (1) eliminate some of the surplus parkinq spaces, or
eliminate the attached garages so as to aesthetically
improve the site; (2) reJesign the unit so that they are not
facing the ditch to the south but have their backs to it;
and (3) revise the site ?clan leaving out the portion of the
property that is currently zoned for office use. Finally, a
certified land survey sho>>ld be submitted. The plan
reviewed did not contain an engineer's seal. There is a
possibility that there is an easement to the north of the
property which was originally meant to provide another
access point. Staff will research this.
STAFF REQ-OMMENDATION:
Deferral until the above issues are resolved.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Since the applicant was not present, the Committee decided
to pass this to the Commission without recommendation.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Staff reported that a request for deferral. until VA
financing is obtained was received from the applicant. A
motion was cnade and passed for a 60-day deferral. The
vote - 9 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent.
