In order to provide an easier mechanism for maintenance of the Storm Water Detention Facility, the applicant has extended the lot lines through the facility. Each lot now owns a portion of the facility rather than the developer maintaining control over it. Jackobsen mentioned she would like to see the schematic design for the future streets in the Village / Green area. Boothroy responded that the street design could be incorporated in the ,. location map of the plat of Village Green, Part 10. Blum asked if anyone present wished to comment on this item. The Commission recommended to the City Council the approval of 5-7833. subject to the approval of IDEQ and the preparation of the legal papers. The vote was 7-0 approved. S-7837.

Blum asked.for comments. A question was raised as to whether or not the Commission had the power to essen- tially waive the tree regulations. Boothroy answered saying there were several ways the Commission could turn. One, under the tree ordinance the Commission may either suggest alternatives which meet the intent of the requirements of the ordi- nance or may reject the plan. Secondly, the Commission may ask the City Engineer to make a determination of whether it was in the general welfare to waive the requirements. Boothroy noted that the Design Review Committee had already approved the plans and added the City will be planting trees within the right-of-way, not the developer. The Commission recommended to the City Council the acceptance of S-7837 with the following provisions: 1. The signatures are properly affixed; 2. the location of the sewer and public utilities are specified; 3. an additional statement that the plan meets the intent of the tree planting ordinance. 7-0 approved. 5-7838.

Boothroy said that one of the concerns of the staff, particularly the Fire Chief was the provision of an additional fire hydrant inside the development for fire protection.

Bill Bywater, the developer, was concerned with running the water line to the rear of his property for a future fire hydrant as it would disrupt existing vegetation planted to comply with the tree regulations and existing paved parking areas. After considerable discussion the Commission unanimously decided to defer the item for a later date so the developers could discuss this matter with the Fire Chief. 5-7839. public discussion of a final plat of Lin -Den Heights, a proposed subdivision of a tract of land located approximately 1,000 feet north of Iowa City and east of U.S. Highway 1; 45 -day limitation period: 1/11/79, 60 -day limitation period: 1/26/79. Boothroy explained the revised plat and noted at this time the construction plans for the Storm Water Detention basin have not yet been submitted. The legal papers have been submitted and are in the process of being revised according to staff comments. The staff recommended that the Commission should waive the requirements of the Subdivision Code.
