MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 9, 2002 <br />The Planner indicated that the applicant would be required to construct the <br />street at his cost with no assessment to other properties in the area. The <br />location of the street connection is concept only at this point. <br />Bob Leibel, 124 Twin Lake Blvd., expressed concern about the sharp <br />curve in the street shown in Concept B. Leibel was concerned about fire <br />truck access on that street. <br />Keis pointed out that the drawings are only concept at this point. When <br />the proposal proceeds to the platting stage, engineering details will be <br />reviewed more thoroughly. <br />Leibel pointed out how close the cul-de-sac was to Twin Lake Blvd., and <br />suggested that the street run all the way through. Barraclough pointed out <br />that The topography may be a problem. It was also suggested that perhaps <br />the street could come in from Twin Lake Blvd. and end in a cul-de-sac. <br />Krengel noted the steep grade from Twin Lake Blvd. He also pointed out <br />that bringing in the cul-de-sac fran Twin Lake Road as shown in Concept <br />B would eliminate one driveway on Twin Lake Blvd. <br />Knudsen asked if there were any environmental concerns. The Planner <br />noted that storm water ponding will have to be addressed. <br />Steve Bertrand, 154 Twin Lake Blvd., suggested that three Lakeshore lots <br />were too much of an impact on the lake. Keis noted that the lot sizes and <br />widths appear to meet Shoreland regulations. <br />Roycraft asked the size of the homes that would be developed. Carlson <br />did not have any size estimates at this point, but indicated that they would <br />be custom-built homes to fit the lots. Roycraft suggested that when the <br />developers come back with the preliminary plat they include information <br />on drainage and storm water ponding as well as have examples of what the <br />homes would look like. <br />Knudsen indicated that iY might make sense to bring the cul-de-sac in from <br />Twin Lake Blvd. Carlson replied that the grade is too severe and it is a <br />safer situation coming in from Twin Lake Road. The Planner pointed out <br />that public streets should have no more than a 7 to 8 percent grade. He <br />also noted that this is a north sloping road, which would make it even <br />more important to minimize the grade. <br />-6- <br />
