Glenn Bowles: (Reviewed Abstract), Lot numbers 10 and 11 have been reoriented so that all the platted ]and is not in primary open space as the concept plan approval required, As a result of the Fire Marshal's comments, the developer has approached OWASA to use the University Lake as a source of water for fire suppression. OWASA has agreed but the specifics or design have not been completed, The Canboro Courtesy Review requested a trail system around the property, but Staff does not agree because of the concern for erosion on steep slopes and maintaining the pristine environment. Also, they requested that the cul-de-sac be constructed to the eastern edge of the property. Staff was concerned about extending the road because the non-use of the road, the expected deterioration of the road due to no use, and there is question if and when the adjacent property maybe developed and at what grade the road on the other side would be, Staff did not want the road to be paved twice if the grades do not match, Michelle Kempinski: Originally there was a question if the Tanaka property should be considered as part of this subdivision when determining the number of allowable lots. When the subdivision was redrawn to exclude the Tanaka tract, was the number of allowable lots readjusted? The number of lots is pertinent, as it comes up with one less lot. Jay Bryan: Your question to Glenn is how was the 181ots determined? Michelle Kempinski: Yes. My calculation is lower, Jay Bryan: Would it be helpful to have the developer explain the calculations or the staffl Bruce Ballentine: The calculations are not only based on density, The underlying density is based on the parent tracts of land as of October 2, 1989, When the regulations changed in the County, you calculate the density by going back to legal lots on that date (2 tracts), multiplied by 5 acres and the rest at 5 acres; the TanakaBennett original property was 47.91 acres, and was part of the parent tract, An additional calculation is the yield analysis.
