MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 8, 2006 understanding that it may be possible to apply for a Variance to extend the proposed cul -de -sac about 80 feet to get that lot back into the plan. Johnson stated that he understands that he may have to do some wetland mitigation if the cul -de -sac is extended. Right now the cul-de-sac is proposed at 500 feet and Johnson suggested a 580 foot long cul -de -sac. Knudsen noted the Planner's comments regarding pedestrian access to the proposed park area shown on the plat as well as the wetland. The City Planner noted that the Park Commission would review the proposed plat relative to park dedication requirements. The Planner indicated that the comment in the report was to call out possible park and /or connections /improvements that the Park Commission may require. Johnson indicated that the concept plan is being revised to eliminate Lot 4 since there is an existing garage in the area that his neighbor does not want to remove. Therefore, he would like to extend the cul -de -sac by 80 feet to get another lot to replace the loss of Lot 4. The City Planner stated that the Subdivision Code allows for a longer cul- de -sac based on existing topography or wetland area. Given this area is significantly impacted by wetland, the conditions could be present to warrant granting a variance for cul -de -sac length. The Planner indicated that his office would be supportive of such a request. Socha asked about the existing homes on LaBore Road. Johnson indicated that he owns 3032 and 3046 LaBore Road, and reported that the house at 3046 LaBore Road would be taken down to make room for the street. Duray asked if a wetland systems impact plan would be developed. Johnson reported that he has hired an engineer who will take care of these details. Hall asked if Johnson owned 3040 LaBore Road. Johnson replied that he did not. Johnson reported that he and the owner of 3040 LaBore Road will be trading some land as part of the plat development. The Planner noted that 3040 LaBore Road is a long narrow property with a home on it. The property will be reconfigured trading the back portion of the lot in exchange for additional frontage on LaBore Road. 3040 LaBore Road is included in the plat given the property exchanges that will take place. Louie LaCasse, 3050 LaBore Road, pointed out that his house will be adjacent to the proposed cul -de -sac. LaCasse asked if he would be assessed for this road improvement. The City Planner indicated that the developer will be constructing the project and will pay for all street and utility costs. 5
