CTTy COONCIL MIIVM - February 20, 1985 E. SPECIAL ORDERS: Item l.b) lards of Meise (continued): Peter Wright Shaw, applicant's landscape architect, addressed the Council and explained the hardship mposed on his clients by not allowing the increase in naximnn developmnt area. He noted that there was presently minimal area around the pool of decking (only 18") and in their opinion steps to the pool area would be safer than the stepping stones. His clients were also requesting an increase in patio area and paved area in the garden. Mr. Shaw comented that his clients had endeavored to axrply with the Town's guidelines in every way and also noted that if they lived anywhere else in the Town they would be allowed considerably more maxi development area. Wimissioner Lachenbruch reported that the purpose in limiting the amount of maximmi development area in the Matadero Creek Subdivision was to preserve the open space and reduce the intensity of development on each lot. Dronkert noted that situations should be addressed on an individual basis and it was worthwile to note that the applicants' intent had been to comply with the Town's guidelines. Dronkert also suggested that this appeal be remrbered as an exauple when the Site Developannt Ordinance was reviewed. It was a case of allowing building too close the maximcnn amount of development. van Tanelen expressed serious concerns about increasing the anount of maximum development area. The total amounts of MDAs for the lots at Matadero Creek had been care- fully reviewed and foamulated at the time and the purchasers of the lots were aware of the restrictions. -3- MYPION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Allison, seconded by Dronkert and passed by the following roll call vote to allow an increase in the noximn development area for lot #8, Matadero Creek Subdivision, based on the hardship izposed on the applicant.
