(Continued from 2/21/79 Meeting.) MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Perkins, Councilman Nystrom and passed unanimously to adopt a Negative Declaration, LANDS OF STEERS, File TM #2087-78. Mr. Miller, Applicant's Attorney, stated they did not understand the rationale behind conditions imposed upon his client to cause improvements along Buena Vista Drive, provide for a pathway which hasn't a connecting link and underground utilities which would only benefit an adjacent property owner. Councilmembers discussed a Motion (subsequently withdrawn) to return this item to the Plan- ning Commission for further mitigation and their extensive concerns about this proposed development, which are briefly as follows: (1) Need for further review of the conservation easement location; (2) Problems raised by Applicant's request for four conditional exceptions to Town ordinances; (3) Direct conflict caused to an overall planning concept by not de- signating Applicant's remaining property as "not further subdividable" or, if it is to be subdivided in the future, the inclusion of data necessary to achieve this; and, (4) Objec- tives to be realized by defining the holding capacity of Buena Vista Drive with the im- plementation of a precise plan line (directed to the City Engineer for preparation). Mr. Miller, Applicant's Attorney, spoke for resolving these issues as quickly as possible. Mr. Abram, Applicant's Engineer, cited objections to cuts and fill required for the re- alignment of Buena Vista Drive. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman McReynolds, seconded by Mayor Hillestad and passed unanimously to deny, without prejudice, the Tentative Map application, LANDS OF STEERS, File TM #2087-78. -5-
