use and he wanted to see litigation," should have been mitigation.

SHORELINE PUD - PRELIMINARY 4*0-#4*k%L
Member Edwards noted a perceived conflict of interest on this item and
abstained from the vote.
Ted Shepard gave staff description of the project. He commented there were
five conditions attached to the preliminary approval and a sixth condition
was added today, July '27, 1986. A separate memo was distributed to the
Board members. He stated the sixth condition was discussed with the
applicant and he is in full agreement with the condition. He added every-
thing else in the memo is accurate and up-to-date.
John Dengler stated he is the land planning consultant for the project.
He states that the piece of property has a current plan that was approved
for 28 townhome units of the same nature as the ones across the street at
Harmony Cove. He stated the developer is planning to work around the
existing utilities that were placed on the property and constructing a
small single family subdivision of 12 units. He commented he has been
working closely with the Natural Resources Department in order to save what
natural features are existing in the area. He stated Gary Blue had a meet-
ing with Bert Vermeulen and discussed some issues regarding the project.
Bert Vermeulen stated he has several concerns: (1) the flaw in the drawing
of the property showing an inlet that does not exist, (2) Lot #5; place a
restriction that the house can only be one story, (3) the ditch currently
in upper area of the drawing; build up of silt if a tube is put in, (4) the
russian olive tree be protected on the lot by his property.
John Dengler commented to Mr. Vermeulen's concerns. (1) He agreed the
drawing was incorrect. He stated the drawing was completed before the
survey was finished in that area. He stated the drawing will remain the
same outside of the property. (2) He stated he had spoken to Gary Blue
about the one story house and they are in agreement with the condition
affecting Lot #5. (3) He commented the final landscape plan would reflect
a reuse on the site for the russian olive trees. He stated the tree may
not stay in its same location because of the ditch. (4) He stated Gary
and himself had further discussed the issue of the ditch and concluded it
would be best for the project not to have an active above ground ditch run-
ning through the back yard of Lot #5. He stated the pipe would be kept as
is on the plan.
Chairman Crews inquired if the pipe could be put in with sufficient slope
to alleviate the silt problem.
John Dengler stated at this time there is no reason to believe there will
not be proper drainage. He commented it will show up on final engineering
plans to confirm this.

Ted Shepard stated staff is willing to go along with the condition that Lot
#5 be restricted to a one story home. He commented another condition could
be added stating an accurate survey of the drawing be required at final.
He stated Storm Drainage prefers to have the ditch piped.
Bert Vermeulen stated there is a contradiction regarding the ditch. He
stated the pipe is currently running further than shown on the drawing;
more of a straight course. He wanted to make sure that issue is addressed.
He stated he preferred running the ditch in the same direction as it is
now. He inquired if a restriction could be put in regarding changing the
location of the drainage ditch.
Ted Shepard stated the ditch is in a platted easement approximately 25 feet
wide. He commented the ditch has to stay within that easement. He
informed there is no way to move this drainage facility except within the
existing easement.
Chairman Crews inquired if there is an existing easement.
Ted Shepard stated there is, 25 feet wide. It is located behind building
envelope #5.
Bert Vermeulen inquired where the easement continues after Lot #5.
Ted Shepard commented looking at the building envelope for Lot #5, the
envelope is skewed reflecting the 25 foot easement. He stated the easement
is straight. He indicated staff is in agreement to add condition #9
regarding the relocation of the russian olive tree if necessary.
Member O'Dell indicated she was concerned about the russian olive tree
along with Bert Vermeulen. He stated if the tree is included in the buil-
ding envelope for Lot #5 the lot is getting rather small.
Member Brown inquired if there would be a problem with the russian olive
being in the drainage ditch since another pipe would be constructed.
Ted Shepard stated the tree would be relocated where it would not interfere
with the drainage.
Member Strom moved to approve Shoreline PUD - Preliminary with the five
conditions included in the agenda, the sixth condition as stated in the
memo, the seventh condition that Lot #5 be restricted to a one story home,
the eight condition that an accurate survey of the Shoreline be included
with the final, and the ninth condition that the russian olive tree be
reused on the site. Member Kern seconded and stated it may be difficult
for all these conditions to come true by looking at the map. Motion passed
7-0.
