264 Mr. Michael O'Callaghan, 8 Grey Eagle Court, General Contractor, stated that he was responsible for the ultimate on- site construction implementation of construction procedures regarding the homes. He explained that grading will expose only the topsoil and the subsurface strata. The big exposure will be where the basement structures of the houses will be cut into the hill. Subdrains will be built at the base of these structures to intercept any water that may drain in the future. Subdrains will also be built perpendicular to any gravel strata encountered which may pass water at a future date. These subdrains will be connected to the appropriate storm drain systems down the street. Mr. Gordon requested Council to approve this project because it is a safe and improved development which would benefit the neighborhood and the community. There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. It was moved by Mr. Brandes, and seconded by Mr. Butler, that Resolution No. 90-98 be adopted, based on a review of an initial environmental impact study done for this project and on a finding that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and on a further finding that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with AP-90-4, the appeal of a decision of the Planning Commission denying approval of Case PUD-90-2, the application of Michael Gordon for planned development rezoning and development plan approval for a five-lot residential PUD, including the development of four new single- family residences, on a hilly two-acre site containing one single- family residence located at 445 Kottinger Drive. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Butler, Mohr, Tarver and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Mr. Brandes recommended that Condition No. 15e [14e, as adopted] be expanded to include not only ground water but also water bearing strata and that the property lines go all the way to the street. Mr. Butler commented that his initial concern about the project regarding the layout of the homes and street access have been satisfactorily addressed. He added that the concern about the stability of the hill has likewise been addressed as thoroughly as possible at this time and that Condition No. 15e [14e, as adopted] would take care of whatever problems may develop during construction. - 10 - 6-5-90
