Commissioners Narum and Blank replied that they had questions regarding the <br />application and the Conditions of Approval but that they did not wish to remove the <br />item from the Consent Calendar. <br />Chair Pearce addressed the audience and inquired if anyone had questions on the <br />application. <br />A member of the public stated that she may have questions depending on what is <br />discussed. <br />Chair Pearce pulled the item from the Consent Calendar for discussion under Public <br />Hearings and Other Items. <br />6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br />a. PTR-8004, Pamela Hardy, Ponderosa Homes II, Inc. <br />Application for Vesting Tentative Map approval to subdivide an <br />approximately 23.1-acre site located at 1 Reimers Drive in the <br />Ironwood Planned Unit Development into 110 single-family home lots <br />plus four common area parcels. Zoning for the property is PUD- <br />LDR/MDR/HDR/ P&I & Mixed P&I/MDR (Planned Unit Development – <br />Low Density Residential/Medium Density Residential/ High Density <br />Residential/Public & Institutional and Mixed Public & <br />Institution/Medium Density Residential) <br />District. <br />Steve Otto presented that staff report and gave a brief description of the scope and <br />key elements of the application. <br />Commissioner Narum inquired if the applicant is being required to remove the <br />39 trees but not pay their appraised value. <br />Mr. Otto replied that because the trees were orchard-type trees past their prime and <br />were in poor condition, staff did not believe it was necessary for the applicant to pay <br />the trees’ appraised value of roughly $34,000. <br />Commissioner Blank referred to the grading plan and asked staff where the trees <br />were located and the reason staff is not recommending that they be replaced after <br />removal. <br />Mr. Otto pointed to the area, noting that the trees extended down behind the lots on <br />Sagewood Court. He stated that the land is owned by Zone 7, not the developer, <br />and added that this was part of the reason the applicant was not required to replace <br />the trees. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired if Zone 7 was not opposed to the removal of the trees <br />and not having them replaced. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 15, 2009 Page 3 of 24 <br /> <br />
