Council Minutes of 2/21/2006 development on adjacent residential properties. There was discussion about the increase in potential traffic through Timber Trails as well as Barton Road. Discussion was had concerning the issue of the potential for flooding, both stormwater and sanitary, because someone brought up the issue they did not believe the sanitary sewer system on Bradley was sufficient to handle these issues. Members of Council questioned the need for the side yard variances separate and apart from this and questioned the drainage system for the site including Location of the dry basin near French Creek. Councilman Orlowski brought up the footer drainage system for the structures. A question was presented by Council Member Dailey Jones concerning the proximity of the drive to the nearby Timber Trails access. The committee unanimously recommended to hold the matter in committee and the issue of zoning, particularly the entire area of zoning, as originally brought forward in the city's master plan, be brought forward to a Committee-of-the- Whole meeting to be discussed to get the will of Council as to what direction to proceed. To do otherwise would be to pass judgment on the project while not passing judgment on the zoning. Conformity and direction are needed so as to not put the city in a bad light. No further action on the proposal and no administrative action to comply with the requests of City Engineer Becker will take place until such time as the committee meeting is had and some consensus is reached by City Council. The proposal was held in committee, and the zoning issue was forwarded to the Council President to be presented at aCommittee-of--the-Whole.
