MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MAY 5, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />Commissioner Mitchell asked if the design could divert traffic from Edgerton. <br /> <br />Mr. Barth replied that they need full access from Vanderbie to County Road D. He stated that <br />people make their own decisions on which access and direction to travel. He stated that the <br />traffic generated from the development would still allow for a high function at Edgerton. He <br />stated that the issue at Edgerton is sight distance and is something the County would need to <br />address in the future. He stated that there would be stop signs at both Allen and County Road D. <br /> <br />Commissioner Buesing asked and received confirmation there would be a stop sign at the <br />driveway shown going to County Road D. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked whether these units would be owned or rented. <br /> <br />Mr. Barth replied that these would be owner occupied units. <br /> <br />Chair Kwapick welcomed any comments from members of the public. <br /> <br />Robert Rudolph, 525 Allen Avenue, stated that his lot is about one third of an acre. He stated <br />that when you remove the easement and ponds he would determine about 12 units per acre, <br />which would be similar to placing four townhome units on his property. He commented that this <br />seems to be a high level of density. He recognized that the density was most likely calculated on <br />the overall property size. <br /> <br />476 Allen Avenue, stated that he is confused by the total number of units as a letter he received <br />mentioned 184 units, but the presentation mentioned 178 units. He was unsure if those numbers <br />were going to be combined for over 300 units. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director replied that the project would propose 178 units and after <br />the change in layout stemming from the neighborhood meeting, the total unit count had been <br />reduced. <br /> <br />Mr. Rudolph was concerned with the amount of traffic that would come onto Allen Avenue, <br />which was previously a dead-end street. He stated that he would prefer a horseshoe design for <br />the private road. He asked for details on the sidewalk mentioned along Vanderbei. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director replied that the sidewalk would run from Allen to <br />County Road D along Vanderbie. <br /> <br />Mr. Rudolph asked the type of pedestrian traffic that would be anticipated for the sidewalk and <br />where those people would be headed. He asked why a sidewalk would be needed. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director replied that the sidewalk would encourage pedestrian <br />activity in the community.
