The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY — 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 3.23 acres.

Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report, describing the property and project request, surrounding conditions, density, etc. Due to the Urban Forester's lack of support for the Tree Preservation plan, staff recommends the item be tabled for two weeks to allow further work. He went through conditions and issues to discuss in detail. Glenn Newman, Staff Engineer, discussed that tree 108 is not being preserved therefore the jog in the sidewalk around the tree should be removed. Greg Howe, Urban Forester, stated that there are several problems on the site, including the tree canopy condition on the site. He visited the site yesterday and discovered that many of the trees on- site shown to be preserved are now in poor condition due to the recent ice storm. Good trees worth preserving are in the southeast part of the site. Because these are the best trees to preserve, I don't feel this plan meets the intent of the ordinance. He spoke of some alternative designs and that he is willing to work with the applicant. Lee Stewart, applicant, stated that he can accommodate most of the comments and agrees to sit down with the Urban Forester, to accommodate more tree preservation. No public comment was received. Commissioner Trumbo discussed that he was okay with staff recommendations on the street improvements, variances, and on -street parking. My concern — lots of new information coming in regarding the damage to the trees from the ice storm. I hope there's something that can be worked out between the two of you. Motion: Commissioner Trumbo made a motion to table the request to the February 26, 2009 Subdivision Committee meeting. Commissioner Bryant seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 AM.
