MINUTES <br />PLANNING C0~11\1ISSION <br />AUGUST 8, 2002 <br />Knudsen stated that his position is that if the City agrees to a 20 foot front <br />yard setback rather than the required 30 feet, he wanted to ensure that the <br />result is an offsetting adjustment of 10 feet on the rear yard setback to <br />ensure a lar~~er setback from the wetland. The City Planner agreed. <br />Von Reidel indicated that they were agreeable to either the 20 foot or 30 <br />foot front yard setback, whichever is the City's preference. <br />Barraclough asked about the accessory building planned for the entrance <br />area. Barraclough also suggested that if this plat is approved, he would <br />like to see a restriction that no accessory buildings, garages, or sheds be <br />allowed on any of the lots. Von Reidel indicated that they would be <br />agreeable to placing restrictive covenants on the lots that would prohibit <br />aCCe$SOI-y bLIIId1n~~S, ~~ara<~es, or sheds. The City Planner agreed that the <br />best approach would be to have the developer place a restriction of this <br />nature in covenants for the development. <br />Roycraft asked whether the property was in a flood cone and the type of <br />foundations that would be used. McDonald pointed out that basement <br />elevations would have to be approved by the City Engineer, and noted that <br />each building pad would have to be engineered and determined to be a <br />buildable site. <br />The City Planner indicated that the 40 foot by 40 foot building pads shown <br />on the preliminary plat are probably smaller than what would be needed <br />fora $500,000 home with a ;-car garage, The Planner also noted that a <br />building pad larger than 40 feet by 40 feet would be difficult to fit on Lot <br />13. <br />At this point, the Commission opened the meeting to comments from the <br />general public. <br />Dr. James Allan indicated that his concern was one of safety and he was <br />extremely concerned about the possibility of a pipeline disaster. Allan <br />noted that to his loiowledge the Williams Pipeline was put in <br />approximately 1955. <br />Tom Hartigan expressed concern about the width of the road. McDonald <br />pointed out that the road would meet City standards, and noted that at the <br />entrance to the development there will be two 12-foot lanes around the <br />entry area. <br />Hartigan expressed concern with safety having trafl~ic close to the pipeline. <br />Don Jensen, Williams Pipeline, indicated that they will be reviewing the <br />-~- <br />
