Seed, and Mr. Bruce E. McNeil, has submitted Applications #67026 and #67027, requesting, respectively, 1) approval of the preliminary plat of "Twin Lake North Addition" encompassing the property generally bounded by 60th Avenue (extended); the west lot lines of the properties on the west side of June Avenue; 58th Avenue (Co. Rd. #10); and the west City limits, and 2) rezoning of the property within the proposed plat from the present R -1 Single Family Residence to R -3 Townhouse and R -5 Multiple Residence; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the requests contained within these two Applications at public hearings, held pursuant to published and mailed notice, on May 18, 1967, and at a subsequent meeting held May 25, 1967, considering factors relating to the requests, especially with relation to their effect on overall planning for the City, with which the Planning Commission is charged, following which the Planning Commission recommended approval of the two requests; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission with relation to the subject Applications, and has gathered further information with regard thereto during the period of its consideration of the requests, and is fully informed thereto. NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council makes the following findings: 1) The City Council, in November of 1966, adopted a Comprehensive Plan for the future development of the City, including therein the intention that the property between County Road #10 and Kylawn Park (the Farr property) be developed as high density housing (north of County Road #10) and townhouses (south of Kylawn Park). The development now proposed by Mr. Farr, that of townhouses on the east portion of the property and multiple residences on the west portion of the property, is not in disagreement with the general goal described above. 2) The transitional device proposed by the developer in his "Plan C" along the east side of the development, consisting of a landscaped berm, will provide proper transition between the development and the single family homes abutting it to the east. Resolution No. 67 -287 31 The lake which the developer proposes to dredge on the property has been shown to be a feasible concept through a hydraulic study commissioned by the developer, and also is in accord with long -range plans of the City with regard to maintenance of the water levels of waterways throughout the watershed. To insure perpetual use of this proposed lake as a means to water level stabilization, however, the City will expect easements for drainage over the proposed lake area and damming facilities.
