DATE: October 12, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Commission is asked to review the proposed rezoning to allow the Prairie Cove
project to move forward.
DISCUSSION
As with all rezonings, in order to change the zoning the City must establish one of the two
following findings are present:
1. The original zoning was in error.
2. The character of the area or times and conditions have changed to such an extent to
• warrant the rezoning.
The proposed plat is consistent -with the Comprehensive Plan as the property is designated
Transitional Residential (TR). This designation indicates that the property will transition from
rural to urban with the extension of utilities to the property.
Staff Recommendation
Times and conditions have changed due to the fact that the surrounding properties have
developed at urban densities and municipal utilities are now available to serve the subject
property. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Preliminary Plat of Prairie Cove, an urban residential
development located at 15941 Hanson Boulevard NW.
DATE: August 10, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat for an urban development
containing eight lots on 4.8 acres. The Commission previously reviewed a sketch plan for this
project (see attached minutes).
Conformance with local and Regional Plans
The proposed sketch plan is consistent with the Andover Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The
property is designated Transitional Residential (TR). This designation indicates the property will
transition from rural to urban with the extension of utilities to the property.
The zoning of the property is Single Family Rural Residential, R -1. A rezoning to Single Family
Urban Residential, R -4, will be necessary to allow the project to move forward.
DISCUSSION
Access
Access will be provided from a temporary cul -de -sac at the south end of Shady Oak Cove. Due
to the fact that this cul -de -sac exceeds 500 feet in length, it was granted a variance at the time
that Shady Oak Cove was approved. The variance included the future cul -de -sac extension that
will serve the proposed project.
Lots
Each of the proposed lots will exceed the R -4 minimum lot area requirement of 11,400 square
feet as indicated on the sketch plan. Each of the lots will meet or exceed the R -4 minimum lot
width and depth requirements. The existing house will be located on one of the lots.
Landscaped Cul -De -Sac Island
The project utilizes a larger cul- de- sac,W. ith a landscaped center island. The applicant has
designed the island and landscaping improvements to observe the recommendations of the Public
Works and Fire Departments. A drawing that illustrates the proposed improvements to the island
is attached. A homeowners association will be created to provide long term maintenance of the
island. The City Attorney and staff will review the association documents to ensure maintenance
activities and responsibilities are clearly delineated.
• Hanson Boulevard
The Anoka County Highway Department has previously indicated that no public street access to
Hanson Boulevard will be allowed. The existing driveway will need to be removed and the right

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 15941 HANSONBOULEVARD
NW.
Mr. Bednarz explained the Planning Commission is asked to review a residential sketch
plan for an urban development containing nine lots.
Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Gamache asked if this was a legal cul -de -sac or did it need a variance.
Mr. Bednarz stated they handled the variance for the length of the cul -de -sac with Shady
Oak Cove.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated that with this being such a small development, who would
take care of the center donut in the road. Mr. Bednarz referred this item to the
developers.
Mr. Jason Osberg and Mr. Andy Prasky of Premier Development stated there would be
an association and it would be very minimal. The only other thing they discussed
regarding the center area was to dedicate the center area as park land and then the burden
falls back onto the City which is probably not as favorable as a homeowner's association.
Mr. Osberg stated with the association, there will probably be an annual fee of $25.00 per
home to care for the area. He stated they would like to have the ability to do something
that is not sodded and that may not require irrigation in the center such as a rock garden
or a dry river bed appearance. Something that is still an amenity or focal point to he
neighborhood and would look fairly attractive but would not require as much
maintenance or irrigation.
Commissioner Gamache asked if there is an option to have the middle area deeded to a
parcel. Mr. Bednarz stated this would be a little unusual. Typically these islands are in
the right -of -way and the maintenance responsibility is assigned to the association.
Commissioner Jasper asked if there were other developments like this in the City with
this type of a cul -de -sac. Mr. Bednarz stated they do not have anything specifically like
this. They have a few landscaped medians that are at entrances to developments. He
listed the developments.
Commissioner Kirchoff asked how the cul -de -sac was maintained at Shadow Brook. Mr.
Bednarz understood it was taken care of by one or more of the owners closest to it.
Commissioner Jasper stated the one that goes into Woodland Creek by the red barn is not
really taken care of by anyone so they would want to make sure this is taken care of by
. someone.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Preliminary Plat with Planned Unit Development
Review for Country Oaks West, an urban residential development located at 1101
161 Avenue NW.
DATE: October 12, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Commission is asked to review a preliminary plat with Planned Unit Development
review as provided under City Code 13 -3. The development contains single family and
twinhouse lots. The Planning Commission previously reviewed a sketch plan of the subject
property on two occasions (see attached minutes).
DISCUSSION
Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (03 -05) extended the MUSA Boundary to include the subject
property. A condition of this approval limited the proposed development to municipal sewer and
water service for 100 lots.
The property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (R -1). A rezoning to Single Family
Urban Residential (R -4) for single family lots and (M -1) Multiple Dwelling Medium Density for
twinhouse lots are needed for the proposal to move forward as proposed (please see rezoning
report).
Hydrology
Due to the fact that the floodplain boundaries had not previously been determined in this area of
the City, a floodplain study was completed by the applicant to determine the floodplain
boundaries and appropriate 100 year flood elevations. This work has been reviewed by FEMA
and will ultimately need to be adopted by the City as a floodplain map amendment (please see
Conditional Use Permit for Floodplain Map Amendment report).
ACCESS
A single public access to the development would be provided from 161 Avenue NW. A
variance will be needed to the minimum intersection spacing requirement of 660 feet for arterial
roadways due to the limited distance from Vale Street NW on the south side of 161 Avenue
• NW. The access was located to maximize the distance between existing intersections on the
south side of 161 Avenue NW.
An emergency access is also proposed to the east of the public access. The applicant has revised
the plan to provide connectivity within the development where possible. However, due to the
. Double Frontage Lots
The City Code prohibits double frontage lots except along arterial roadways. The plat has been
redesigned to eliminate as many double frontage lots as possible. However, Lots 1,2 and 3 of
Block 2 will require a variance to this requirement. By allowing these lots to have double
frontage, the driveways can access an interior local street instead of the collector street.
Buildability
One of the single family lots, Lot 6, Block 6 does not meet the 116.5 foot buildable area
requirement as measured from the front property line to the delineated wetland edge. This
resulted from a more detailed wetland delimeation than was done with the sketch plan and a
reduction in the curve of the collector street around this lot to meet state aid design requirements.
Staff has asked the applicant to explore filling the small wetland finger necessary to achieve
compliance with the City's requirements. If this cannot be done, staff recommends that the
property lines be adjusted to allow all of the lots to meet the buildable area requirements. These
options have been included in the attached resolution as a condition of approval.
Sketch of Adjacent Properties,
The applicant has sketched a street connection with the property to the west in a location that is
based on a wetland delineation provided by that property owner. The location will accommodate
development as shown on the sketch. — These lots are not included in the 100 units permitted for
the subject property under Comprehensive Plan Amendment (03 -05).
The sketch of the property to the southwest shows that access can be provided from the collector
street to create two additional urban lots from this property in the future.
The property to the southeast contains a wetland along the rail line that limits the development
potential of this property. The location of the existing house and the desire of the owner to retain
an acreage property further limit the development potential of this property.
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Review
Applicable Ordinances
City Code 13 -3 -9 regulates the findings that are required for a PUD to be approved:
1. The proposed development is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan of
the City.
2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and
unified environment within its own boundaries.
3. The proposed development demonstrates how each modified or waived requirement
contributes to achieving the purpose of PUD.
4. The PUD is of composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and
operation are feasible as a complete unit without dependence on any subsequent unit.
Additionally, City Code 13 -3 -11 provides nine design qualities that are sought from each
proposed PUD. The attached letter from the applicant address the findings and design qualities.
n

• The sign will need to be shown in this manner on the landscaping plan. Presently the sign is
shown at the property line. A ten foot setback is necessary.
Association Documents
A homeowners association will be created to maintain the landscaped areas and exteriors of the
twinhomes. The City Attorney and staff will review the association documents to ensure all
items are appropriately addressed.
Coordination with other Agencies
The developer and/or owner are responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed
District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU and any other agency that may have an
interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City Engineering Department regarding
this item.
Other
The developer is also required the following City Ordinances and all other applicable
ordinances:
City Code Title 11, Subdivision Regulations, City Code Title 12, Zoning Regulations, City Code
Title 13, Planning and Development, and City Code Title 14, Flood Control
Park and Recreation Commission Comments
. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that both park land and cash be provided.
The developer has proposed to develop the park with playground equipment and sports facilities
as a part of the proposal. The developer will receive credit for both the land and the proposed
improvements.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the project subject to the conditions in the attached resolution.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to recommend approval or denial of the propose
plat and any relevant adjustments that the" Commission feels are necessary.

variance, and;
WHEREAS, the applicant has requested a variance to City Code 11 -3 -3G. to exceed the 500 foot

reduce the risk of pedestrians/bicyclists from entering the traveled portion of CSAH 20
without warning, the paved portion of the path shall not make a direct connection to CSAH
20. The City may consider the construction of a path along the north Right of Way line
between the eme rgency vehicle access and the proposed local roadway.
Calculations must be provided along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the
drainage areas for this site. The post - development rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre-
developed rate volume of runoff for the 10 -year, critical design storm. An engineering plan review fee
estimated at $850.00 will apply to this project. Contact Andrew Witter, Construction Services
Engineer, for information regarding the engineering plan review process. Please submit the drainage
calculations, grading and erosion control plans, and turn lane/bypass lane plans along with the ACRD
Design Requirements Checklist for County Highway Modifications (copy attached) and the applicable
engineering plan review fee to Mr. Witter for his review and approval. If the City and/or the developer
• wish to meet with county staff to discuss the county highway modifications for this plat prior to
submittal of formal engineering plans, we would be happy to do so.
An access permit and a permit for work within County right of way are required and must be obtained
prior to the commencement of any construction (permit to work within the R/W= $110.00; Access
permit = $150.00). Installation and maintenance of any necessary permanent traffic control devices
within the county right of way will be coordinated by Anoka County in conjunction with the permit
process (Please note that the Developer will be required to make the necessary pavement marking
removals for the implementation of the turn lane/by -pass lane plan as a part of the permit process).

roadway extension to the west for additional future connectivity to Yellow Pine Street. Ideally, when
the property to the west is developed all access to this Development (Whitetail Ridge) could be made
via Yellow Pine Street, and the new local roadway proposed in this plat would become a cul -de -sac.
This would be similar to the access scheme for the D o n Peterson Development on the south side of _
CSAH 20 where the development between Crane St. and Yellow Pine S . did not introduce any new
access points. Turn lane construction/creation on CSAH 20 will be required to be completed by the
developer and/or the City for this development. For the City's consideration, we have prepared some
tam lane concept plans for this development (labeled A, B and Q. Turn lanes on CSAH 20 will be
required for this development. Concept Plans A and B depict two different turn lane and bypass lane
configurations for future discussion as plans for this development continue (it should be noted that this
department prefers the implementation of Concept Plan B in conjunction with this and other
developments in this area). The right of access along CSAH 20 shall be dedicated to Anoka County
with an exception for the approved local roadway (this includes the larger parcel east of the proposed
roadway that appears to be intended as commercial use). All existing entrances to CSAH 20 shall be
removed and the right -of -way restored to match existing ditch section, grade, and slope.
Calculations must be submitted along with a grading and erosion control plan that delineates the
drainage areas for this site. The post - developed rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre,
developed ratelvolume of runoff for the 10 -year, 24 -hour storm, utilizing the "SCS Method ".
It should be noted that residential land use adjacent to highways will usually result in complaints
regarding traffic noise. Traffic noise at this location could exceed noise standards established by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Anoka County policy regarding new developments adjacent to existing county highways prohibits the
expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures. The City and/or the Developer should
assess the noise situation and take any action deemed necessary to minimize associated impacts at this
site from any traffic noise.
A permit for work within County Right -of -Way is required and must be obtained prior to the
commencement of construction. License Permit Bonding, method of construction, design details, tam
lane construction, work zone traffic control, restoration requirements and follow -up inspections are
typical elements of the permitting process. Contact Roger Butler, Traffic Engineering Coordinator, or
Josie Scott, Permit Technician, for further information regarding the permit process. Installation of
any necessary permanent traffic control devices within the County Right -of Way for this proposed
development will be coordinated, installed, and . maintained by the Anoka County Highway

City Engineer Berkowitz explained a feasibility report has been prepared identifying the
improvements and estimated improvement costs associated with Veterans Memorial Boulevard
NW through the proposed Woodland Estates 6 th Addition development.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to approve the resolution accepting the feasibility
study, waiving public hearing and directing preparation of plans and specifications for Veterans

Motion carried unanimously. (Res. R067 -04)
CONSIDER SKETCHPLAN /COUNTRYOAgS WEST 11101161 AVENUE NW
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the Council is asked to review a revised
residential sketch plan for a single family and townhouse development formerly called "White
Tail Ridge ". The revised plan attempts to address the issues raised by the City during the first
round of sketch plan review.
Councilmember Trude asked if this would line up with the street that will come out at Sophie's
Manor. Mr. Berkowitz stated when this was brought up, they requested it be directly across from
Vale and the County said they did not like the idea because it was too close to the railroad. Now
the County is asking the road be moved closer to the tracks.
Discussion ensued in regard to access to the development and where the County wanted the road
placed.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he would like to have time to look at the sketch plan before
discussion and he has not had time to look at the new plans. The one thing he noticed that
changed was the request for town homes which would mean a PUD which would give the
Council more control.
Councilmember Trude stated she was concerned because they have a lot of lots that are platted
and now that they have seen their sewer plan they are going to add on to and review. She is
concerned with the additional one hundred homes added to the sewer at this time. She wondered
if this development will be dependent on communal septic systems because they have never
talked about or had communal septic systems in the community. Mr. Neumeister stated one of
the concepts staff talked to the developers about is if they do not hold those lots for some kind of
communal system, they could do some large lot development there.

Ms. Jane Bankin, 16526 Sycamore Street, stated she is in favor of the plan they are seeing now.
She stated the developer has done a lot to preserve where they are at. She wanted to put her plea
in and ask them to look at Andover from the urban area to the rural area. She would like some
buffer between the large parcels and the small parcels.
Mr. Tom Bankin stated when they purchased their home fifteen years ago they were under the
impression that the surrounding area would also be maintained as 2 % acre plats. He would like
to see the area and the wildlife maintained.
Mayor Gamache stated he liked the idea that the land to the north will be considered as a
development with larger lots.
LOCATION UPDATE /01- 51SKATE PARK EQUIPMENT
City En ' eer Berkowitz updated the City Council on the new location for the skate park
equipment. e explained Dan Masloski and Dave Blackstad, members of the Skate Park Task
Force, have co cted churches and the school district to see if they would be interested in
allowing the eqw ent to be moved to their site for use by the public. Constance Free Church,
at the intersection o 61" Avenue NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW, has expressed interest.
The Finance Departme is currently researching insurance and liability issues associated with
the equipment being place at the church.
Mr. Dickinson suggested the Co cil put in place a lease which outlines where the equipment
will be put and then they can deal some of the issues of where the equipment will be placed.
The City's insurance policy, they wou cover the skate board site like before.
Mayor Gamache asked if they would need to onitor this site. Mr. Dickinson stated they would
not need to monitor the site with the type of eq ' ment they have.
Councilmember Knight appreciated Constance Free arch offering their site but he was
concerned with how far out from the kids it will be.
Mayor Gamache noted there was a Boy Scout in the aud\an sked h im to come up and
introduce himself and explain what he was working on.
Joseph Regan stated he was there earning his Citizen and Community MehQBadge.

• desirable for both Planning and Council, they may go forward with and invite this into
the plat.
Commissioner Kirchoff stated they are looking at 47.5 acres and if they would include
the other acres and would this have the effect on the number of units. Mr. Wold stated he
understood it would. Mr. Bednarz stated the 2.5 acre parcel of land is currently outside
of the MUSA and they would have to petition the City to have this brought into the
MUSA.
Commissioner Vatne stated on the NW part of the property, that is the wetland, will that
be impacted by the hydrology study once it is completed in that the lots that are adjacent
to that may or may not be buildable. Mr. Bednarz stated the hydrology study will show
right where the line falls. He stated that right now it is an estimate. He explained that the
line may be pulled back and there may be more buildable area, but the study still needs to
be done to determine exactly what the elevation of the floodplain is.
Commissioner Gamache stated the measurement on this property has to go all the way
back to 161 Ave. NW. Mr. Bednarz stated this is correct.
Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. Motion

carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- absent vote.
Commissioner Greenwald stated this is another item with a long cul -de -sac and there
would need to be a rezoning with this. Mr. Bednarz stated the rezoning would come with
the plat.
Commissioner Gamache stated he liked plan two because it takes the traffic off the main
road. Commissioner Greenwald stated this also lengthens the length of the cul -de -sac
from 161"Ave. NW.
Discussion ensued in regards to the length of the cul -de -sac, wetlands and the type of
housing proposed.
Chairperson Daninger explained there is a big concern about a feeder street. They should
look at the sketch plan not having driveways on a feeder street. He stated the developer
also needed to look at changing the roads to not include such a long cul -de -sac.
Chairperson Daninger stated that the number of units needs to meet the sewer access
. allowed by Council and they need to have the hydrology report. He stated he would like
more definition on townhomes.

Courtney Bednarz, City Plann"
PUBLIC HEARING: Preliminary Plat for Kimberly Oaks, a rural residential
development located at 16337 Verdin Street NW.
October 12, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Commission is asked to review a rural plat containing ten rural residential lots.
All existing structures will be removed from the property.
DISCUSSION
Conformance with Local Plans
The proposal is consistent with the Rural Residential Land Use Classification and Single Family
Rural Residential (R -1) Zoning District that exist on the subject property.
Access
Access is proposed to be provided from Verdin Street NW (CSAH 59) in alignment with 163
Lane NW. This will be the only access to the site permitted by the Anoka County Highway
Department (ACHD). The street would extend approximately 1,500 feet into the site before
terminating in a temporary cul -de -sac at the north property line. The street could be extended in
the future to provide a secondary access when the property to the north develops further. A
second interior street is also proposed to branch off to the east and would extend approximately
1,000 feet from the entrance to the development before terminating in a cul -de -sac. When the
street is extended to the north the second interior street will meet the 500 foot maximum cul -de-
sac length.
In the short term, a variance to the maximum cul -de -sac length of 500 feet is needed for both of
the cul -de -sacs. The Fire Department has requested that a temporary cul -de -sac be provided at
the north end of the project to allow emergency vehicles to turn around. The Fire Department
will ask for the street to connect to the north as a part of any future development proposal.
The ACHD has provided comments on the proposed sketch plan. The developer already
indicates that additional right -of -way will be dedicated to satisfy the typical 60 foot half right -of-
way for the east half of CSAH 59. Sixty feet of right -of -way was established for the west half of
CSAH 59 though the Silver Meadows plat. The attached sketch plan is designed to prevent
future private driveway accesses onto CSAH 59 as mentioned in the attached ACHD
memorandum. The attached grading plan also illustrates the sight triangle at the entrance to the
development. Vegetation will be cleared within the right -of -way for CSAH 59.
• Ghost Sketch
The ghost sketch to the north of the subject property indicates one way that these properties could
develop in the future. The eventual design of a future development will depend upon the desires
of these property owners.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the conditions in the attached
resolution.
Coordination with other Agencies
The developer and/or owner is responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Lower Rum River Watershed
Management organization, Anoka County Highway Department, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency, LGU, and any other agency that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be
made with the City Engineering Department regarding this item.
The developer is also required to meet all other applicable ordinances, including:
• City Code Title 11, Subdivision Regulations
• City Code Title 12, Zoning Regulations
• City Code Title 13, Planning and Development
• • City Code Title 14, Flood Control

Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes —August 4, 2004
Page 7
Mr. Dale Howard, 16178 Raven Street, stated the cul -de -sac length was originally way back in the
one lot but due to past experiences, the City recommended extending the cul -de -sac to have a three
hundred foot frontage on the one lot below the outlot which gives them the one hundred fifty -foot
radius. He explained that originally the wetlands on the survey were not how it actually shows.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he raised the question because if the applicant could build the cul-
de -sac at half the length they are proposing and still get the same number of lots out of it, he thought
it would be advantageous to do so. Mr. Howard stated they would not get the same amount of lots.
It would be nine lots and they would not be able to get the three hundred foot frontage.
A map was shown and staff discussed with the Council the reason why the cul-de -sac should be
where it is.
Councilmember Orttel asked if the Ordinance still allowed for filing of less than the entire
preliminary, where he could stage in the plat. Mr. Berkowitz stated this was staffs recommendation.
Councilmember Trude stated this plat is very near the Rum River Elementary School and they have a
• section of trail and she wondered if the right -of -way in this plat would allow for a trail if they would
choose to do so. Mr. Berkowitz stated they can look at this. They would have to build the trail
through their trail fund but they should make sure they have enough working right -of -way if they
want to have that option.
Councilmember Trude thought there was a high ridge of pine trees and she thought this should be
reviewed to preserve a trail option.
Mr. Howard stated he has talked to the soil conservation district about the crossing.
SKETCH PLAN/SILVER MEADOWS WEST
Community De ment Director Neumeister stated the Council is asked to review a sketch plan
containing 17 rural res tial lots.
Councilmember Jacobson stated to and 13 look like they are almost entirely within the wetland
area and he was wondering if there was a area to put in some houses plus put in the septic
systems.
Mr. Jeremy Booths, John Oliver and Associates, stated they been working with staff and the
requirement is the 60x60 house pad and then the ten thousand square for septic areas. They have
done borings. Their preliminary calculations show they have the area to pu ' th ere. He stated if
they are tight lots but they would be adequate.
Councilmember Jacobson stated a report. from the Fire Chief said the new National Fire Stan
Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes —July 27, 2004
Page 4
• Mr. Dale Howard, 16178 Raven Street, stated he was the developer of the new
development and the temporary cul -de -sac once it is a through street the cul -de -sac will
be less than 500 feet and will be legal. He stated people to the north are interested in
developing their property but not at this time. He stated Anoka County, as of December
2003 have a requirement of a quarter of a mile access onto a major road. The Silver
Meadows plat was probably ok before the requirement came into effect. He stated on the
turn lane, after three houses, there has to be a turn lane to the development.
Motion by Jasper, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 7:26 p.m.
Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Kirchoff) vote.
Commissioner Gamache stated he was looking at this plan and it looks like some of the
secondary and primary septic areas are in the easement. He wondered if this was
allowed. Mr. Bednarz stated drain fields are not allowed in easements and they have
made some modifications to the sketch plan to make sure that is not the case.
Commissioner Greenwald asked what the guidelines were for temporary cul -de -sacs. Mr.
Bednarz stated it does meet the Fire Department guidelines for a turn around. There is a
standard sixty foot right of way and then temporary street easements that are abandoned
once the street is extended.
Chairperson Daninger stated on the ghost plat to the north, is that the ideal spot for the
• street to come through. Mr. Bednarz stated the developer made the sketch plan to the
north. Towards the center of the horseshoe design is a wetland. There has been some
effort made to split the street around the wetland to achieve lots along both sides. This is
one of a dozen ways the property to the north could be developed.
Commissioner Jasper stated when he looked at this, he did not like this but it is the only
way to layout the road without cutting through the middle of the wetland and get lots out
of this. The cul -de -sac to the east conforms because they have allowed other
developments to have longer cul -de -sacs because they are temporary and the reason it is
longer is because of the temporary road to the north and he did not see any other way for
the developer to do this.
Commissioner Vatne stated there was a change to the Counties regulations regarding this.
They changed the rules in terms of accesses. He thought it would be nice to have
consistency amongst the County that would allow them to join the roads and have a
structure that is laid out in somewhat a consistent fashion. Mr. Bednarz stated the County
has taken a more proactive role in reviewing these developments.
Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the August 4, 2004 City
Council meeting.
