MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 26, 2022 4 but they are typically not the actual construction hours. Fischer noted that may not necessarily mean they would be working that entire time unless possibly they get behind. Mr. Sullivan asked if there a predetermined end date or could they be dealing with construction for a decade. The Community Development Director stated that the City does not have a required end date, but at this time, it is expected that all of the phases will be done in two to three years if everything goes smoothly. Milan Moravetz, 476 Allen Avenue, asked Mr. Tabone why it would be tricky to build a road before houses. Mr. Tabone stated they do not want to get ahead of themselves by building a road that is not being used at that time. He noted that he hears the Council’s concerns about wanting the secondary access built sooner than phase 3. Mr. Moravetz asked for further clarification on what the future land use map from the Comprehensive Plan shows. Torkelson explained that the future land use map is only shows what the land could be used for in the future, not how it is being used currently. Mr. Moravetz asked how tall the retaining wall would be on the north end. Community Development Director Wendell stated the wall would be about eight feet tall. Torkelson asked if the Lennar project would be higher or lower than the existing properties. The Community Development Director stated the Lennar property would be higher at the north end in order to comply with the runoff requirements. Mr. Moravetz asked where the stop signs would be placed. The Community Development Director stated there would be some placed on the streets that enter Vanderbie Street, and then one on Vanderbie Street at Allen Avenue. The City Engineer stated that he does not see a need for a stop sign mid-block on Vanderbie Street. He noted if there does end up being a need for a stop sign, it can be added at the City’s discretion. Mr. Moravetz stated that he feels traffic count of estimated 70 trips is inaccurate. The City Administrator explained the details of the traffic study. Karin Plessel, 3001 Vanderbie Street, asked how much of a setback will be behind her house, and asked how tall the retaining wall behind her house will be. The Community Development Director stated the setback will be 15 feet next to her house. Ms. Plessel noted that she has gotten three cracks in her ceiling and walls from the ground work being done on this project.
