ISSUES LEGAL TECHNICAL DESIGN: The only issue of consequence relative to technical concern is the pagis monuments requirements which have been requested to be waived. The Engineering andPlanning staff located two pagis monuments in a closed neighborhood to the subject property (monument #2081 of Raines Road and monument #2068 of Crystal Valley Road close to Raines Road) which would be use to set two additional monuments along Ida Loring's subdivision. It should be noted for the record that the engineering and Planning staff oppose the pagis requirements waiver. The City would like to encourage private developers' to place pagis monuments for greater accuracy and future benefits to property owners. E. ANALYSIS• The planning staff finds no serious fault with the plat, subject; however, to resolve the items pointed out above. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary/Final Plat, subject to minor modifications. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT (APRIL 25, 1991) Mr. Charlie Miller was present representing the application. He indicated that this plat consists of only two lots and does not require Pagis Monuments according to the amended Ordinance #15,929. He pointed out that his client is willing to dedicate right-of-way but still would like to ask for a street improvements waiver. The Engineer and Planning Staff agreed to dismiss Pagis Monument requirement. It was also added that street improvements need to be addressed again at the full Commission and sent to the Board of Directors for final approval. There being no further items for discussion the matter was forwarded to the full Commission for resolution. 2 May 7, 1991 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 CONT. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION (May 7, 1991) The Planning Staff reported to the Commission that the applicant had failed to send notices to the adjacent property owners 15 days before the meeting as required by Bylaw, however Staff recommends conditional approval of the Preliminary/Final Plat if the Planning Commission agrees to waive the Bylaw requirement. The Planning Staff also agreed to report to the Commission and reset for public hearing if any calls are received in opposition before the Board of Directors meeting on June 4th - Commissioner McDaniel pointed out the importance of the notice. Commissioner Oleson requested that Staff monitors Pagis Monuments requirement if the owner attempts to subdivide again and create more than four lots which would require placement of the Pagis Monuments.
