PARRSME UNITS #2 and #3 cont'd.: Mr. lambert also requested that the Council in hearing his appeal consider that this revised map was submitted in response to the Town's wishes that lots on Moody Court and Moody Road be eliminated and that he had done so by substituting those lots with a park donation. Furthermore, in return for this park donation, "any and all fees, deposits and charges appurtenant to the fact" of revising the originally approved Tentative Map should be rescinded and returned to Parkside Bstates. Councilman Aiken confirmed the statements in Mr. Lambert's letter, in that Mr. Lambert had been requested to work out with Staff some method of eliminating the B lots (12 acres) near Moody Court. In his remarks, it was emphasized that in order to do this, Mr. Lembert had absorbed substantial engineering expenses to revise this original map to fulfill the Town's request and special consideration should be given to the pregarding and variance requests. Speaking from the Floor, on behalf of the Planning Commission's action in denying all variances and limiting pregrading, Chairman Weisbart and Commissioner Corbett noted their review of the revised map was from a Planning standpoint and that the consensus of the Commission was that grading and variances should be considered on an individual basis at the time a residence is proposed. Council discussion noted that preservation of the corridor connecting the Duveneck property and Byrne Preserve was desired and that an anonymous ` gift of $30,000, plus three building sites on Altamont, was given to Mr. Lambert for the fair value of some of those lots in the corridor, but additional funds to purchase the remaining eight lots on Moody Court were not available. Mr. Lamberts utilizing the various map transparencies, reviewed the progression of changes and concessions made since presentation of his original map to the present time. Council concurred that the pregrading and variance requests warranted consideration in view of Mr. Is ert's efforts to fulfill the Town's wishes for the park corridor. Staff was requested to advise of their recommendations on the variances and pregrading on a lot by lot basis. Following discussion of each individual lot. Motions were made approving or denying the variance and pregrading requests wherever applicable. (To provide clarity to the Minutes and to facilitate administrative follow-up, the following Motions were taken out of sequence and arranged in numeric sequence.)
