Ms. Soo replied that it would be a Homeowners Association as there is a creek at the back that would need to be maintained. Commissioner Olson referred to the last sentence of the indented paragraph on page 10 regarding the 20-foot easement located on the westerly boundary of the property: `In the event that the Jones property is developed, the exclusive access easement will be required to be extinguished unless it is allowed to remain by the City Attorney and City Engineer" He inquired what this means in relation to the "Conceptual Lot Layout of a Future PUD Development Plan" on page 11 , which he found to be reasonable in terms of running the road around the perimeter of the property, thereby providing access to all of the new lots without coming through the driveway. He inquired if the language on page 10 negates the layout plan or if this is simply the form of an escape clause. Ms. Stern replied that the language is to provide access only to the one home and not to any of the homes in the new PUD. Ms. Harryman explained that Condition No. 24 of the original PUD approval provides that the applicant would have to give up the driveway, the thought behind it being to have all of the lots take access off of Calico Lane. She noted that with the house moving over closer to Cindy Way, it makes sense to keep this driveway, and the purpose of this language then is to allow this driveway to remain. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Lynn Jansen, owner/applicant and the builder and developer of the prior Roselyn Estates as well as of the future Phase 2 of the Roselyn Estates, stated that he would like to speak on two points: the easement and the new home. Mr. Jansen stated that the easement is simply a question of semantics. He pointed out pointed out that he will be submitting a request to vacate the easement because a full legal deeded frontage will be provided on Cindy Way for the new lot for the relocated home, which will then render the easement issue moot. He explained that originally, the clause was a direct consequence of the Jones' family submission for the 20-foot easement to be expanded and become the main traffic access thoroughfare for the future developed Roselyn Estates development. He indicated that he had requested Planning staff at that time that this not become a street entrance; hence, the clause was added that when the Jones' property develops in the future, the easement will be extinguished. He reiterated that he would like to keep the original intent in place that this not be allowed to become a traffic road for the future homes to be built, but remain a single driveway access to the home. He added that the easement can eventually be extinguished because a new 40-foot wide frontage will be installed on Cindy Way. With respect to the new home, Mr. Jansen stated that the home is being relocated to set the stage for the future development. He noted that this will be green building to the fullest extent since he will be retaining the home and not be dumping materials in the landfill. He explained that the home will be re-wrapped with all new siding, trim, EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, JUNE 8, 2011 Page 2 of 4
