The resulting homes will actually be approximately 2’-0” lower than if built on natural <br />grade. 3) The height limit of all the properties surrounding the Fischer Farms development is 35 feet. <br /> <br />Sparn discussed the site visit regarding the Mayhoffer Ditch, stating that the purpose of the meeting was to <br />walk the ditch boundary long the North side of the property and discuss ways of preserving this tree buffer <br />while giving Mr. Mayhoffer adequate access to maintain the irrigation ditch. <br /> <br />Members of the Public: <br /> <br />None heard. <br /> <br />Staff Summary and Recommendation: <br /> <br />Wood reported that staff recommends approval with three (3) conditions as detailed in Resolution No. 33, <br />Series 2001. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br /> <br />No Commissioner questions. <br /> <br />Public Hearing Closed Commission Comments: Lipton closed the Public Hearing and asked for <br />Commission comments. <br /> <br />Pritchard stated that condition #3 is the responsibility of City Council to determine.
