MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING OF THE PLANNING COA~SSION MARCH 21, 1983 PAGE 2 place for single family detatched homes, they are interested in developing the property. They are presently developing property in the City of Shoreview and have a model complex for viewing located there. They met with the neighborhood group on Saturday, March 19, to answer questions. John .Uban and John Charbeau from Howard Dahlgren Associates have JOHN UBAN & assisted Good Value Homes in the planning process. They feel that one JOHN CHARBEAU person should be in charge of the project so that one person will follow FROM H0~'IARD through with the neighborhood group, Planning Commission and City Council.DAHLGREN ASSOC. John Charbeau is in charge of the project. John Charbeau described the preliminary plat and indicated where PRELIMINARY the streets would be connected to the present three stubbed streets. PLAT He does not recommend an access to the south because it would not be the DESCRIPTION best use of the land. It would also change the quality and density would need to be increased. They are proposing platting 50 lots with an average lot size of 12,000 square feet. He stated he wouldbe willing to contact Clint Hewitt to negotiate the Cleveland access and would also be willing to readjust the plat for the proposed connection. The utilities will come from the south and easements will have to be platted. Two ponding areas are proposed with catch basins located within the property that will funnel the water flow into these ponds. Harold Nielson contacted Bonestroo and Associates regarding some concerns he • had on water flow and was advised that the water would be controlled by the size of the pipe which will determine the flow out of the ponding area. Therefore, the pond will drain. Al Stefanson referred to a letter dated HAROLD NILSEN/ March 21, 1983 from Robert G. Schunicht of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & AL STEFANSON Associates, Inc. indicating adequate sanitary sewer capacity exists as well as adequate water system capacity. Jim Bourquin felt it would make good sense to ask the developer to delay the sale of lot three to provide access to Cleveland at a future date. Good JIM BOUR~~UIN/ Value Homes stated that they would be willing to hold the lot for a one GOOD VALUE HOME: year period from sale. If the Cleveland access were approved, the traffic circulation pattern could be changed to turn the small "U" shaped street from right to left as indicated in the preliminary plat. A utility easement would be needed between the two ponds and could be used for a bike path. Good Value Homes feels it would be beneficial to t he area but would dimminish the value of the lots on either side. Al Stefanson inquired as to what timetable Good Value Homes had for development and Good Value Homes replied that if the preliminary plat AL STEFANSON/ and subdivision were approved by the Planning Commission and City GOOD VALUE Council they would immediately begin work on the final plat. After HOMES its approval, development would begin shortly thereafter. They hope to have their first occupancy in late August. Good Value Homes proposes the homes to be from 1,200 sq. feet in size up to and over 2, 000 sq. feet. They will range in price from X90, 000 to $120,000 • base price.
