MINUTI'/S <br />PLANNING COA4>\RISSION <br />AUGUST 8, 2002 <br />Roycraft asked if the pipe would be shut down during construction. <br />McDonald replied that it would remain active. <br />McDonald also noted that the developer has the ability to move the road <br />location near NlcNlenemy Road north more, thus bringing the road <br />pavement fu~'ther away from the pipelines. <br />Keis asked if the easement extended roughly about 50 feet on either side <br />of the pipeline. <br />Liz Babcock, Williams Pipeline, reported that historically Williams has <br />blanket easements through pipeline areas. As parcels where sold in this <br />area, Williams obtained parcel-specific easements and condensed <br />easement widths. As a result, there are varying easement widths in the <br />area, some being 80 feet in width, others 100 feet, and the blanket <br />easement still exits on some parcels. Babcock reported that Williams will <br />not permit anything that will hinder their operation or maintenance of the <br />pipeline. They revie~~~ all proposals on a case-by-case basis. <br />McDonald indicated that they have just recently submitted a full set of <br />plans to Williams Pipeline, and Williams has a 90-day review window. <br />Knudsen asked if the developer can refuse to comply with the <br />recommendations made by Williams Pipeline. McDonald replied that the <br />developer does not have that option. <br />McDonald indicated that they are seeking Preliminary Plat approval at this <br />time, contingent upon a number of factors, one being compliance with the <br />recommendations made by Williams Pipeline as noted in the City <br />Planner's report (recommendation # 1). McDonald went on to comment <br />on the other items listed by the City Planner in his report. I-te noted that <br />Lot 1 ;, Blocl: 1 has been enlarged to meet Shoreland regulations <br />(recommendation #2). He also noted that enlarging this lot allows enou,gi <br />room for a house pad without interfering with the MN DOT easement that <br />runs through the lot. The City Planner indicated that if a house can be <br />constructed on this lot without interfering with MN DOT's ability to <br />service and repair drainage pipes, then his concerns would be addressed. <br />McDonald indicated that in constructing a house on Lot 13, they would <br />stay out of MN DOT's easement at all times. Keis su<~gested that the City <br />Engineer would have to review Lot 13 and determine if it is possible to <br />develop a house on this lot without impacting the easement. <br />McDonald indicated that they are agreeable to recommendations #3 and <br />#4. With regard to recommendation #5 -alteration of building pad <br />locations to meet the 30-foot front yard setback -McDonald indicated that <br />5- <br />
