entirely sure and could not say with a naked eye, but he didn't think the anomalies were <br /> intended. <br /> Commissioner Balch said he visited the project site twice and staked out Lots 13 (or 20, <br /> depending on which map is being referenced). He also looked at Lot 19 and then at Lots 4 or <br /> 11, again dependent on the map, and could barely see the anomalies. He said there might <br /> have been a small mudslide at the time, but he did not think that was intended to be captured <br /> as a steep slope. He did have concerns on the overall grading to make the lots but said he <br /> would leave that to a future discussion. Lot 31, which was the other lot he saw, was staked and <br /> he would consider this as a hedge or shrub because he could not find that anomaly. <br /> Chair Allen said she went out to the property twice with the group and if there was any property <br /> that might be more on the edge of 25 percent it would be Lot 19, which is what Commissioner <br /> Brown mentioned. She suggested staff come back with an update on that. <br /> Question 1c: Are there other sites that are bigger than just minor anomalies where there is <br /> potentially a concern of 25 percent? <br /> Commissioner Balch said these are the lower lots on the Shriner's property. He drove through <br /> the area looking at the lower four lots, which appeared to be trees and shrubbery; he could not <br /> see a slope and from his view, it was virtually the same area. <br /> Commissioner Ritter said he felt the same way when he visited the site a few times. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor expressed that if there is tall grass, a shrub or something else in the <br /> way that someone from the developer's side should be responsible to clean it up before the <br /> area is flown again to make sure the slopes are properly detected rather than the potential for <br /> misinterpreting an item for something else. <br /> Ms. Amos noted the City's mapping is from 2017 and is completed every couple of years. <br /> Therefore, cleaning up the site wouldn't be reflected in the City's aerial mapping for a few <br /> years. <br /> Mr. Beaudin added that there is a possibility of getting out in the field and verifying these things <br /> more closely as they move forward in the process. <br /> Commissioner Balch said in going back to the upper side with Lot 31, there was a stake and it <br /> was flat and in line with everything; he inquired how much more should be verified. <br /> Mr. Beaudin said they were referring to the lower four lots, which he did not visit, but said he <br /> did not think they would continue to be on the hillside. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor said not only do five of the seven lots show as having something over <br /> 25 percent, as well as almost the most critical part of that road; one view made it appear as <br /> about one-third of the road and yet a different view made it appear as half of the road. He said <br /> if half of the road was over 25 percent slope, he would have concern. <br /> Planning Commission Minutes Page 13 of 22 March 27, 2019 <br />er to be able to move back <br /> into the replacement home.
