MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 12, 2009 Knudsen asked about turn-arounds. Johnson reported that turn-arounds will be provided so that traffic exiting the lots will be able to pull onto the streets. He noted that there is plenty of room for these turn-arounds. Johnson indicated that the turn-around in front of the existing house will be reduced in size as recommended by the City. Duray asked about the existing house. Denny Claridge, Pinot Properties, reported that they are remodeling the house and will be selling it. The driveway for the house will be improved right away. Jon Hall asked if there were any problems with the water table on this property. He noted that the house just north of Gervais Mill Park on Edgerton Street was constructed on pylings. Johnson reported that there are no water table problems and commented that the soils are sandy. He also pointed out that there will not be a lot of site disturbance in conshucting the new homes. Knudsen asked about the three accessory buildings on the property. Johnson reported that one is a small shed without a permanent foundation and could easily be removed. The other two buildings have permanent foundations. Johnson indicated that all three will be removed when the property is final platted. The City Planner noted that under the Code only one shed can be three feet from the property line. In this instance, two of the sheds are approximately three feet from the line. The Planner indicated that there would be a development agreement for this project, and shed removal would be one of the provisions outlined in that agreement. McDowall indicated that they hoped to leave the sheds in place for a while. Duray asked about sidewalks. The City Planner reported that sidewalk improvements are a platting requirement. He noted that the Parks Commission reviewed the plat from a park charge standpoint, but did not address the sidewalk issue. The Planner indicated that he would discuss sidewalks with the Parks & Recreation Director. Johnson noted that the County is requiring an additional 10 feet of right- of-way for Edgerton Street as part of the plat. He indicated that a sidewalk improvement on the hill would be difficult along Edgerton. It maybe most feasible to put a sidewalk on the east side of Edgerton Street. With regard to Little Canada Road on the south, sidewalk location could be on either side of the street. Jessica Tm•cotte, 2674 Schletty Drive, repotted that her property abuts proposed Lots 3 and 4. Her concern was how the development will be done. She noted that the Schletty properties are lower than this property and was concerned about the impact that grading would have on her lot. She noted that her sump pump runs frequently during the summer. -6-
