There was much Council discussion regarding the Preliminary PUD Plan for Marie's Woods located at 7200 and 7218 Harold Avenue from Mr. Knaeble. MOTION made by Council Member Fonnest, seconded by Council Member Clausen to deny the Preliminary PUD Plan for Marie's Woods PUD No. 119 based on the following finding upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor of: Harris, Clausen, Snope and Fonnest and the following voted against: Schmidgall and the motion carried. 1. The PUD plan does not achieve a higher quality of site planning and design as it simply replaces two existing single family homes with five new single family homes on narrower lots. 2. The PUD plan preserves and protects substantial desirable portions of the site's characteristics, open space and sensitive environmental features including steep slopes, trees, scenic views, creeks, wetlands and open waters. 3. The PUD plan includes efficient and effective use (which includes preservation) of the land. 4. The PUD plan results in development compatible with adjacent uses and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans and goals. 5. The PUD plan is consistent with preserving and improving the general health, safety and general welfare of the people of the City. 6. The PUD plan does not meet the PUD intent and Purpose provision and would likely result in conflict with at least one PUD ordinance provision of minimum required side yard setbacks for principal buildings. Also, the proposed easement on the east side of the property should be 25 feet in width as opposed to 20 feet as proposed. Official City Council Minutes -3- November 18, 2014 6. NEW BUSINESS 6A.
