Eden Road, Tentative Building Site Approval - 4 Lots; Continued from June 21, 1979 Mr. and Mrs. Mares, Marius Nelsen, and Jim Prendergast were present for discussion of this item. Staff presented this application, explaining that the subject site was entirely within the County. The Committee then discussed its relationship to the Council concern of reinterpretation of the HCRD Ordinance and Pierce Road. The Committee eventually determined that further information and revision of the map was necessary prior to making a decision on this map. The engineer was to look into the possibility of a 26 ft. wide road (what this would involve in engineering across the swale), the delineation of fault setback zones on the map, the potential buildable area on Lot 4, and, finally, the appropriate area to be placed in .scenic easement. It was moved and seconded to deny SDR -1403, subject to receipt of a letter of continuance. The motion was carried unanimously. D. SDR -1408 - Brad Renn, Marion Avenue, Tentative Building Site Approval - 2 Lots; Referred from City Council Meeting of June 20. 1979 Mr. and Mrs. Renn were present for the discussion of this item. They questioned the Land Development Committee relative.to the con- ditions on improving Marion Road and the removal of the existing fuel tanks. It was explained that Marion Road needed to be improved to 18 ft. wide plus 1 foot shoulders, and that the amount of improvements would depend on the condition of the existing road- way. Additionally, the LDC explained to the applicant that the fuel tanks were being conditioned to be removed since the parcel had been brought in for conditioning under building site approval. It was pointed out that if the subject parcel were left as is, the situation would be nonconforming, and, therefore, legal. The possibility for a two -story structure was also discussed. The LDC determined that, since a two -story structure exists adjacent to - 1 - Land Development Committees Minutes - 7/5/79 SDR -1408 (cont.)
