Mike Malik, representing Mr. Zatparvar (owner of 12813 Clausen Court) addressed <br />the Council with their concerns about the drainage issue. Mr. Malik referenced a <br />letter dated 2/2/94 to the Council which explained the negative impact of the <br />drainage from this project on their newly completed landscape plan. The letter <br />further stated that they believed the grading being done on the lot was excessive and <br />was changing the natural ground contours, which was resulting in the flooding on <br />Mr. Zatparvar's property. <br />Edwina Comiso, Planning Commissioner, commented on the drainage issue and <br />the problem of removing soil and water from the property. <br />Carol Gottlieb, member - Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, recommended <br />that a condition be added stating that irrigation and plantings shall be located at least <br />five feet away from the pathway on Voorhees. <br />Council discussed the application before them and the issues raised by the neighbor. <br />A swale was suggested and also the necessity for the neighbors to work together on <br />the resolution of the drainage situation. The subdivision of this property and the <br />natural drainage was also discussed. <br />PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To amend condition #7 by changing the landscape <br />deposit from $3,000 to $5,000. <br />PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To amend condition #9 by changing "and is subject" to <br />"and may be subject". <br />PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To add a condition stating that irrigation and plantings <br />shall be located at least five feet away from the pathway on Voorhees. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Siegel and <br />passed unanimously by all members present to add Condition #12 as follows: "A <br />swale or some other means of drainage shall be constructed between the project and <br />the northernmost neighbor to the satisfaction of the City Engineer to lessen the <br />impact of the upstream drainage (understanding this will not eliminate the <br />problems of the natural drainage pattern). <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Tryon and <br />passed unanimously by all members present to approve the request for a hardscape <br />and landscape plan for a new residence at 24704 Voorhees for Lands of Jabbour, <br />subject to the conditions of approval as recommended by the Planning Commission <br />and amended by Council. <br />11.2 Adoption of Resolution amending Town's Fee Schedule -- Reso #_ <br />March 2, 1994 <br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />
