(20 n C Member Edwards pulled Item 1, the Minutes of the October 26, 19R7 and November 2, 1987 meetings, for discussion. Member Kern made a motion that the minutes include the four clarifications as outlined in the staff memo received by the Board on November 16, 1987. The first clarification: Currently, the note reads: "...the applicant shall prepare a wildlife and fisheries report for Fairport Reservoir and the four proposed water bodies in the Master Plan, ..." Based on the issue of the timing of the four proposed water bodies, and the recommend- ations made at the P&Z worksession, Staff suggests the following: 1. Delete the reference to the "...four proposed water_ bodies in the Master Plan,..." 2. In case the four proposed water bodies are needed to offset potential environmental losses to Fairport Reservoir, Staff suggests the following language be added to the note: "In the event that the wildlife and fisher- ies report for Fairport Reservoir, as specified herein, demonstrates envi- ronmental enhancement or mitigation by other areas, then the four proposed lakes depicted on the Master Plan shall be considered." Second Clarifica- tion: Currently, Note #10 reads: "...and that this report be distributed for comment and feedback from all groups, and that this report be made pub- lic..." Based on the recommendations of the Board at the worksession, Staff suggests this language be revised to read as foll.nws: "...and that this report be made available for public inspection and comment." Other clarifications to the minutes of October 26, 1987: Page 9: Member Edwards: "Council" should be replaced with "Staff". Page 10: Member Kern: "increase" should be replaced with "decrease". Member Edwards seconded. Member Strom suggested being more specific with the intent of the wildlife and fishery report. He stated a reasonable format could include: an assessment of the existing habitat and species currently using the facil- ity, an assessment of the potential effects of the proposed land uses and Planning and Zoning rd Minutes is 16, 1987 10 Page 2 .r design around the reservoir, and in the event that significant adverse effects are found to the existing species that a mitigation plan should be prepared to maintain the habitat for the species that currently use the reservoir. He stated a wildlife and fishery report with no guidelines would not show what was to be accomplished. He commented that by request- ing the report this shows the Board's concern and he wanted his suggestion to be an amendment to the motion. Member Kern stated he accepted Member Strom's amendment. Member Edwards stated some of the confusion has come about because of the reference to the four water bodies that at this point do not exist. He commented as long as the report does not require the study of water bodies that do not exist, but rather, addresses those water bodies with respect to any mitigation measures that need to be taken regarding Fairport Reservoir, then the report that Member Stran suggested might become a factor. Member Strom agreed that this would be reasonable. Chairperson O'Dell asked Paul Eckman if adding these more specific details constituted a change in the motion or a clarification of the motion. Paul Eckman stated the Board should not change the substance of the ,notion. He commented that he believed that this was a clarification of an ambiguity in the minutes, and was not a change in substance. If anyone feels it is a substantive change then they have the right to appeal to the City Council. He restated his belief that the comments made serve to clarify an ambiguity and not to change. Chairperson O'Dell stated the changed minutes would be included in the Con- sent Agenda when voting on the other items. Member Edwards removed himself- from voting on Item 2, Oakridge PUD, Tenth Filing Lot 1 - Preliminary & Final, due to a perceived conflict. Member Lang abstained from voting on Consent Agenda Item 3, Horsetooth Com- mons PUD, Tract A, Grease Monkey - Final, due to a perceived conflict. Paul Eckman inquired if individuals in the audience would have commented on Item 1, Minutes of the October 26, 1987 and November 2, 1987 meetings, if approval of the clarifications of the minutes was an item open to a public hearing. Motion to approve Item 1, Minutes of the October 26, 1987 and November 2, 1987 meetings passed 6-0. Member Edwards moved to approve Consent Agenda Item 4, Clarendon Hills Patio Hanes PUD, Tract C - Preliminary and Item 5, Chaparral PUD - Prelimi- nary. Member Kern seconded. Motion passed 6-0. Member Lang moved to approve Consent Agenda Item 2, Oakridge PUD, Tenth Filing Lot 1 - Preliminary & Final. Member Kern seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
