MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />OCTOBER 13, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 <br />propose to enhance landscaping around the border to provide that screening for the neighbors. <br />He hoped that the trees on the neighboring property would not be impacted by construction. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Johnson provided clarification on the boundary of this first phase. She recognized <br />that at times the City setbacks and lot size conflicts with the density requirements of the <br />Metropolitan Council. She also commented that a resident of Little Canada that was living in an <br />apartment and desired to purchase a townhome recently moved to Centerville because that was <br />the closest location, therefore there is a demand for townhomes in the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Durant asked if the decision tonight related to setbacks would only relate to phase one and <br />whether the setbacks for future phases would be determined when those are brought forward. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director stated that the setback variances and rezoning would <br />apply to the entire property at this time and the development plans for each phase would come <br />forward in final plat reviews. <br /> <br />Mr. Tabone commented that the preliminary plat is based off assumptions that these variances <br />would be given and therefore they would want that finalized tonight rather than having to revisit <br />that in each phase. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director read an emailed comment from a resident. <br /> <br /> <br /> Buesing introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT 1ST ADDITION FOR <br />U.S. HOME, LLC, AND LENNAR, CONTINGENT UPON <br />• INCORPORATING CITY ENGINEER COMMENTS INTO FINAL PLAT <br />SUBMITTAL <br />• INCORPORATING RWMWD COMMENTS INTO FINAL PLAT <br />SUBMITTAL <br />• INCORPORATING RAMSEY COUNTY COMMENTS INTO FINAL PLAT <br />SUBMITTAL <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Quarles. <br /> Ayes (4).
