they were removing from conservation easement when they learned that to vacate an <br /> easement was a complicated process but to relocate an easement (a summary vacation) <br /> was relatively simple. The Acting Planning Director noted that according to the <br /> applicants' engineer the area where they were planning to put in the conservation <br /> easement was 30% slope. In addition he noted that in the absence of Planning <br /> Commission findings and discussions and in the absence of mitigating measures <br /> regarding the particular size of the conservation easement over the drainage swale, there <br /> seemed to be no basis for the size of the conservation easement and it seemed reasonable <br /> to move it. Also, the Acting Planning Director pointed out that the intent of the applicants <br /> was to free up the front of the lot which was flat land and the conservation easement <br /> would remain over the drainage swale just reduced in size. The City Engineer stated <br /> there were two reasons why the conservation easement was originally requested: slope <br /> over 30% and areas over drainage swales. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Cheng and <br /> passed by the following roll call vote to approve the request for relocation of a <br /> conservation easement for Lands of Wythe/Vitu on Lot#3, Moon Lane. <br /> AYES: Mayor Finn and Councilmembers Casey, Cheng and Johnson <br /> NOES: Councilmember Dauber <br /> 4.11 Approval of amendment to agreement with Wilsey Ham for technical <br /> • and engineering services --Reso#_ <br /> Casey asked Jeff Peterson, Vice President— Wilsey Ham, to clarify the number of hours <br /> spent on his contract with the Town and the response time to the applicants. <br /> Jeff Peterson, Vice President— Wilsey Ham, noted that his time varied depending on the <br /> projects going on in Town.
