Minutes Planning Commissi. 10/24/84 Mr. Warnick explained that as part of the planning process the Commission can authorize trees to be removed even if they are Heritage trees. Staff is not as concerned about backyard trees as they would be trees on the front of the properties. Tony Cavestri, 4126 Walnut Drive, stated that he has just found out as a result of a survey that he has two more feet of property than he though he did. He is now in favor of this development. If the developer can get permission to remove the tree,he would like to take it down. The tree, if left remaining, would be in the middle of the fence line. Commissioner Lindsey asked if Mr. Cavestri is speaking for all of the neighbors in the area and asked if the neighbors concur that the tree should come down. Mr. Cavestri spoke for four people who abut the proposed development. Trudy Wornow, 4118 Walnut Drive, felt that their quality of living would be somewhat reduced when the project develops and her main concerns deal with traffic. She felt the plan is a desirable one vs others which have been proposed. If the large tree is a detriment to the Cavestri property she has no objection to its removal. Chairman Doherty commended the applicant for contacting the neighbors stating communication is a very important part of all applications. A motion was made by Commissioner Getty, seconded by Commissioner Wilson that the negative declaration prepared for case PUD-84-11 be recommended for approval inasmuch as the proposed zoning change and development plan would have an insignificant effect on the environment. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Getty, Lindsey, Wellman, Wilson and Chairman Doherty NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Innes ABSTAIN: None Resolution No. 2552 was entered and adopted recommending approval of the negative declaration prepared for case PUD-84-11 as motioned. - 6 -
