Page 2
Staff report recommending approval was updated from the Monday pre-meeting.
Public portion of the hearing was reopened. No one spoke in favOr or opposition.
Carl Moreland gave background on this project. He informed the Commission of
the options he was given. All subdivision improvements are required for the
parcel, which places an economic hardship on the applicant. He said the parcel
map cannot be developed with the conditions required. He asked if this were
changed to a parcel map waiver would the requirements be waived. Mr.
LaRochelle said this could not be done under a parcel map waiver. He explained
that a parcel map waiver is the waiving of requirements of a parcel map because
all improvements are already installed.
Mr. Hernandez said the conditions are ordinance requirements and cannot be
waived by the Commission. They can onlybe waived by amending the ordinance
itself. Mr. LaRochelle said bonding could be done to ensure the improvements.
Mr. Moreland said this could not be done. Mr. Moreland felt the ordinance
needed to be changed. He said they could agree not to occupy or request sewer
service to the parcels to the south as a possible solution.
Discussion continued regarding options available to the applicant.
Responding to question by Commissioner Boyle, Mr. Moreland agreed the
developer would be able to fulfill the conditions once he has obtained the
property.
Responding to disCussion, Mr. Hernandez reiterated the ordinance requirements
cannot be waived, the only avenue of relief would be changing the ordinance.
