She urged her fellow Councilmembers to support the applicants request to modify <br /> the conservation easement requirements. <br /> Councilmember O'Malley noted that Casey had made many valid comments, however, after <br /> walking the site, he could not agree to modify the requirements. He felt that most slopes were <br /> actually 40%-50% and there could be potential erosion and water run-off problems. O'Malley <br /> added that the Town should closely monitor the area. <br /> Concilmember Finn commented that as a developer he has been through the subdivision process <br /> himself and found it to be most taxing. He felt this project was consistent with the Town's <br /> General Plan and would be an asset to future residents. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Cheng stated that she had visited the site, studied the Town's codes, talked with <br /> the City Attorney and Planning Director in preparation for tonight's decision on this project. She <br /> added that she was in support of this application because it meets all of the Town's subdivision <br /> requirements and is in compliance with the General Plan. Cheng noted the applicant could have <br /> requested 8 lots but had reduced the subdivision to 6 lots. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Finn and approved <br /> by the following roll call vote to approve the request to amend the Conditions of Approval and to <br /> place geotechnical repair areas and slopes of 50% or greater within a Conservation Easement. <br /> AYES: Councilmembers Casey, Cheng and Finn <br /> • NOES: Councilmember O'Malley <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN Mayor Fenwick <br /> 6.
