map with amendments,it was discovered that certain zoning conflicts existed.The ordinance also amends
those conflicts.The amendment to the zoning map accomplishes the following zone changes:1) Park
sites; 2) Well and Reservoir Sites;and 3)Incompatible Zoning and Land Uses.Parks sites and well and
reservoir sites are set forth as public zones.These public zones are municipally owned or leased and
without this amendment to the zoning map are not reflected as being zoned public.The incompatible
zoning category takes into account various zone changes that are recommended to bring land uses into
conformity with proper zoning.Many of these properties are presently split by two separate zones which
creates a zoning conflict.

SAGE BAY #8 PRELIMINARY PLAT/VARIANCES
Phil Bloom, Columbia Northwest Engineering, representing ASPI,Inc., has submitted a preliminary plat
for a 42 lot major plat located in an R-1 Zone, Single Family Residential.The proposed preliminary plat
is part of the original Sage Bay #8 plat proposal.The Planning Commission recommended that the
preliminary plat be approved with the following variances:
1.Variance to the requirement to construct Larkspur Street,White Drive,Terrace View Lane, and Aqua
View Lane with the stipulation that a covenant be required to run with the unplatted property for future
street improvements.
2.Variances on lot configurations for Block 1, Lots 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11;Block 2, Lots 1 -14;Block 3,
Lots 1 and 2;Block 4,Lots 1 and 6;Block 5,Lots 1 and 2;Block 6,Lots 1 and 2;and Block 7, Lot
2
3.Variance to allow the construction of a cul de sac as part of the intersection of Windrose and
Suncrest provided Suncrest is improved to city standards to the end of the plat.
The developer will provide language on the face of the platthat requires a 25'side yard setback for those
corner lots where the street will not be developed at this time.
'vj Gary Harer,Municipal Services Director,explainedthe advantages and disadvantages to bothconstructing
the side streets at this time and also delaying construction of the streets to a future date.
Mr.Bloom explained the project for the Council. He stated that constructing the side streets at this time
would be a financial burden on the developer and would not be of any particular benefit.
Kim Foster, attorney for the developer,stated that the intent is to make the plat look like a finished
development from start to finish and to do that the variances on constructing the side streets are needed.
James A.Whitaker,City Attorney,suggested that if the Council grants the variance on the construction
of the side streets that covenants forfuture improvements not be required. He pointed out that the streets
will only be constructed when platting takes place so a covenant is unenforceable.
