ITEM NO.S: CONSENT AGENDA
At the request of Commissioner Wulff, Chair Luick pulled Item Sa. Kilkenny Pond
3rd Addition Final Plat on the Consent Agenda and placed it before the Commission
for discussion.

City Planner Daryl Morey presented a brief overview of the events that led to the
Kilkenny Pond 3rd Addition which consists of two single family residential lots
located south of Dodd Boulevard and east of Flagstaff Avenue.
This final phase of the Kilkenny Pond development was initially included in the
Kilkenny Pond 2nd Addition with the configuration of two of the lots dependent upon
an agreement between the developer and contiguous property owner Ms. Elias. In
order to expedite the platting process, the Planning Commission, at their April 15,
1996 meeting, recommended that the two .lots be designated as outlots on the
Kilkenny Pond 2nd Addition final plat while negotiations between Mr. Ryan and Ms.
Elias continue.
City staff and the developer are of the opinion that the proposed land exchange for the
reconfiguration of the subject outlots would not be detrimental to the Elias property
and would, in fact, be enhancement to the Kilkenny development and the future
development of the Elias property. Unfortunately, Ms. Elias has advised City staff
and Mr. Ryan that she has decided that it would not be in her best interest to enter into
any agreement with the developer fora "land swap." As a result, staff is
recommending approval of the Kilkenny Pond 3rd Addition final plat as presented.
Tim Erkkila, Westwood Professional Services and representative for the developer,
was in attendance and reviewed other options that had been explored by bath staff and

outlots that would be deeded to the City and used to accommodate good lot design
