Q ' Z6
ADDITION (S-7744)
Comment:
The Planning and, Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on October 2,
1977, recommended by a 5-0 vote approval of the subject subdivision located
north of Muscatine Avenue and west of Southlawn Drive. This recommendation
was not entirely consistent with the staff's recommendation presented
in a staff report dated October 6, 1977, which was attached to the
'.
agenda of January 31, 1978. The staff has recommended that continuity
�.
be provided from Muscatine Avenue to Meadow Street at Friendship Street
in lieu of-the'two near right angle turns proposed within the subdivision.
"Specifically,
as Meadow Street and Brookside Drive are the only
'
streets which cross Ralston Creek between First Avenue and proposed
that a more
(1 ',
Scott Boulevard on the east, the staff is of the opinion
c
direct access to the neighborhood should be provided via a reversed
curve.

This item was deferred from the agenda of January 31 „1978, to enable
the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the proposal for a temporary
at a
access to this subdivision. The Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting held on February 6 recommended by a 6-0 vote "that the Commission
had no objection to a temporary access via the Moose Lodge entrance

(s-7758).
IComment:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on January 191 I
1978,'recommended by a 4-2 vote approval of the subject plan contingent
be
f
upon (1) that a signed statement of intent from the applicant provided,
the utility companies be provided. This
and (2) that the signatures of
recommendation is consistent with the staff's recommendation presented
in a staff report dated January 19,'1978, which was 'attached to the
agenda of January 31, 1978. The Council should be informed that because of
a "loophole" in the Tree Regulations (see memorandum from the City
Attorney attached to the staff report); this developmentldoes not have
to comply with the Tree Regulations. Some members of the Planning and
Zoning Commission felt that in lieu of meeting the Tree Regulations, the
applicantshould be compelled to provide buffering to adjacent land
uses as required in Section 9.52.2A2.d''of the Large Scale Non -Residential
—
De elopment plan ordinance. The legal staff was consulted for an
opinion as to whether any LSNR Development should comply with this
�
sec tion. Attached to the agenda of February 7 was the legal staff's
opinion regarding this provision. The deficiencies and discrepancies
