Mr. Terbrueggen was not sure they could do that. He |
|
thought it had to go with the Preliminary. Mr. Anzek said |
|
they did not have to, and recalled that the City had |
|
postponed them before. Mr. Terbrueggen said he would |
|
rather get the Tree Removal Permit and have the whole |
|
package, and keep going forward. Mr. Kaltsounis said he |
|
would be concerned if they took down the trees and the |
|
development was not done until 2012. Mr. Terbrueggen |
|
said that before he got a Land Improvement Permit, he |
|
would need DEQ, sewer, water, etc., Permits and Final |
|
Preliminary Plat approval. Mr. Kaltsounis acknowledged |
|
that, but said he wanted to hold off the trees until the last |
|
moment. Chairperson Boswell suggested that it would not |
|
make a difference because the applicant could not do |
|
anything until after Final approval, and the applicant had to |
|
come back to the Planning Commission first. Mr. |
|
Terbrueggen said that after Tentative Preliminary Plat |
|
approval, he would do the engineering based on what was |
|
presented. The Tree Replacement and Preservation Plan |
|
was proper, but if he did not have the approval, there was |
|
an opportunity for the Commission or Council to say they |
|
wanted to take another look at the Tree Plan. If he had |
|
already engineered the site, he would not have any other |
|
options. He was looking for a guarantee. Mr. Kaltsounis |
|
said he agreed on that point with Mr. Terbrueggen; he |
|
reiterated that he was concerned about how early the trees |
|
would go versus when the development actually started. |
|
Mr. Terbrueggen said it would cost him $4,000 an acre to |
|
clear trees, and he was not about to spend any money he |
|
did not have to. Mr. Kaltsounis said he wished the best for |
|
all the subdivisions with the economy, but he just wanted to |
