MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 2006 dimension that the cul -de -sac would be from the house at 2960 Thunder Bay Road. Pete Thermis, 665 LaBore Road, indicated that he owns the lot at the northeast corner of Valento Lane and this proposed street that was just discussed. Thermis presented an aerial map with the concept imposed on it to show the relationship of the proposed road to the properties along Valento Lane. Hall asked for a clarification of how the new street impacts the setback for 665 LaBore Road. The Planner explained that the 10 -foot side yard setback on the east side of 665 LaBore Road would change to a 30 -foot setback given that the side yard would now abut a City street. The Planner noted that a Variance would be necessary for 665 LaBore Road given that the house is not 30 feet from the property line. The property owner at 665 LaBore Road would have to request the Variance given that this lot is outside the concept plan. Barraclough asked bout cul -de -sac length. It was noted that City Code limits the length of cul -de -sacs to 500 feet. The proposed cul -de -sac is 740 feet in length. A property owner in the area asked about street width. The Planner indicated that the right -of -way for a residential street is 50 feet and the City's minimum pavement width is 28 feet. A property owner asked if the concept met City Code requirements. The City Planner indicated that the concept has Code violations. These include various setback violations for the street in relation to 665 LaBore Road, the cul -de -sac exceeds the maximum length of 500 feet, there are Subdivision Ordinance issues related to the creation of double - frontage lots for the properties along Valento Lane, and the issue of landlocking the property at 699 LaBore Road. Colleen Dillon, 2942 Valento Lane, reported that the neighborhood had a meeting on this concept plan last evening. At that meeting, the neighborhood compiled their list of concerns, which Dillon indicated that she would present on behalf of the neighborhood. Dillon reported that neighborhood concerns center around the Code violations outlined in this evening's discussion, the resulting double - fronting lots for Valento Lane properties, issues with cul -de -sac design and whether the cul -de -sac would be accessible for emergency vehicles and snow plows. 5
