MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 14, 2022 3 Commissioner Johnson asked if the changes to the zoning and guiding of the property would remain on the property, even if the applicant did not move forward with their development. The Community Development Director confirmed that the property would remain as high density in that scenario. Paul Keenan, applicant, was present to address any questions. Jessica, 3329 Twin Lake Road, commented that she was not aware this property was marked for residential development. She stated that she would prefer the property not to be developed as residential. She commented on previous flooding issues in the area and was concerned that this would add additional impervious surface. She also noted a concern for the wildlife in the area. Keith Cook, 223 Twin Lake Trail, commented that he understands the City wants to put the buildings in. He stated that he has concern with the condition of Twin Lake Boulevard and the impact that additional traffic would have on the road. He asked the plans for reconstruction of the road. The Community Development Director stated that the road condition was mentioned during these discussions and advised that there are plans to reconstruct Twin Lake Boulevard in the near future. Wayne Holly, Twin Lake Boulevard resident, stated that he has concern with the additional traffic as this would, at minimum add at least 120 vehicles. He asked where those vehicles would be parked. He also asked where the kids would play on the site and expressed concerns for safety. Mr. Keenan commented that it is his understanding that the sidewalk will be on the north side of the road. He stated that they have only developed plans for phase one which would include one building with 60 underground spaces and about another 60 surface spaces. He did not anticipate street parking. He noted that they do not charge for underground parking, as they want residents to use the parking. 3248 Twin Lake Road, commented that this project would add 120 units which would add pollutants to the lake. He stated that there are also issues with flooding and believed this property would be better used as a City park. He commented that there are nice lakes in the area, and he did not believe they should build on the property. The Community Development Director stated that this will move to the City Council at its April 27th meeting where a final decision will be made on this matter. She noted that it is a public hearing and residents are invited to provide input.
