Chairman Lebo moved to remove the item from the table for discussion. Commissioner
Fletcher seconded the motion. The vote being:
Ayes: Carroll, Berges, Short, Fletcher, Hart, Lebo
Noes: None
Staff presented the case to the Commission. Raman Chandler, applicant, was present to
represent the case.
Discussion ensued about the dedication of open space. The Commission discussed the Parkland
Dedication Fee Ordinance. Staff presented information regarding how the site plan for the PUD-R
zoning change qualifies as a preliminary plan. A preliminary plan generally lays out the lots and
the streets and this PUD-R was approved with the lot layout being conceptual in nature and the
applicant proceeded directly to the final layouts based upon the knowledge that the City would
need to agree to the layout. Chairman Lebo moved to approve the final plat, Case P-97 -034.
Commissioner Carroll seconded the motion.
Commissionerihort said that this was a hard lesson to learn and in hind sight the Commission
should have tied down the issues of open space and lot layout at the time of the zoning change
and hopefully their are options available to make the greenbelt dedication and trail system
happen.

Commissioner Carroll agreed and stated that hopefully reasonable people can resolve the
problems for the benefit of the City and Mr. Chandler's development.
Commissioner Hart questioned the legalities of approving the plat.
Commissioner Carroll felt that the applicant has complied with the Parkland Fee Dedication Fee
Ordinance and there is nothing on the Zoning Exhibit which is the preliminary plan stating that
the open space would be dedicated to the City. Since the dedication statement is not on the
zoning exhibit, the Parkland Fee Dedication Ordinance states that fees in lieu of dedication is
approved. He said that we need to apply the ordinance as it is written. When the amount of
acreage the developer is supposed to dedicated, the City is asking for a whole lot more than what
he is supposed to dedicate it according to Commissioner Carroll's calculations.
Fees in lieu of parkland dedication discussion ensued with staff.
The vote being:
Ayes: Carroll, Lebo
Noes: Berges, Short, Fletcher, Hart
2. Combination Preliminary Plan & Final Plat, Lot 1, Block 1, Ledesma Addition, 6.477

combination plat, Case P-98-004. Commissioner Short seconded the motion. The vote
being:
Ayes: Carroll, Berges, Short, Fletcher, Hart, Lebo
Noes: None
Tori Ledesma, owner, asked the Commission for their input regarding she and her husband
wanting to dedicate trees to the City rather than paying development fees. The Commission
directed the owner to discuss the issue with staff.
3. Staff comments, reports and discussion items: Doug Henderson updated the Commission
