CITY ODONCIL MINUTES - January 30, 1985 B. S1UDY SESSION ON TOWN'S PIANNING REVIEW (continued): Mayor Pro Ten Dronkert pointed out that in Section 9-3.503 of the draft ordinance, it should be specifically stated that drainage will go to a place where it will continue to flow. Mayor Pro Ten Dronkert also expressed concern over the reference to development above ore -third of the hill. If the purpose of this was to preserve the ridge lines, then it should be more specifically addressed in the ordinance. Camnissioner Siegel commented on the issue of 'siting', noting that by the time the Site Development Committee reviewed a piece of property, the applicant had spent a considerable amount of money on detailed plans. To correct this problem it was suggested that a preliminary site review take place. It was agreed that staff would review this suggestion and make a recommendation to the Planning Cmvdssion. Several members of the study group expressed concern over the issue of enforce- ment in all areas of the Town's planning function. Commissioner Gottlieb cemented that if the penalties were harsh enough, it would tend to ensure compliance with the ordinances.
