Dr. Robert Connolly, 306 Neal Street, presented his project to Council for their consideration. Mr. A1 Dutchover, 147 Bernal Avenue, stated that with regard to lot #9 he would like to request the side yard setback be changed from six feet to five feet with a retaining wall. Council discussion ensued regarding the preservation and watering of an oak tree in the project. Mr. Swift advised that a condition could be added that would require the homeowner to have the tree checked bi-annually by a tree expert and present a written report to the City, to insure the tree is being properly maintained. Ms. Bonnie Krichbaum, 303 Neal Street, asked if the PUD zoning means the lots can vary, and if so would the surrounding neighbors be notified. Council advised that the PUD has greater restrictions than the usual residential development approval, and any Variance would be considered by Council if it does not meet all City Codes and the neighbors would be notified; however, if it meets the Code requirements there would be no further public considerations. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to this matter. There being no further testimony, Mayor Brandes declared the public hear- ing closed on the application and the negative declaration. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolution No. 86-46, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with PUD-85-21, application of Robert Connolly for rezoning from R-1-6500 (Single-family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development)-Medium Density Residential District and development plan approval for a nine-unit, single-family residential project to be located on an approximately 2.4 acre site located at 306 Neal Street, be adopted.
