MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 13, 2004 a connection to Condit Street utilizing the existing 30 feet of dedicated right -of -way for Nadeau Road, and would require the dedication of an additional 20 feet of right -of -way from the Miller property at 2883 Condit Street as well as from the Hidden Acres plat. This connection would align with the improved Nadeau Road lying east of Condit Street and west of Country Drive. Option 2 provides for a straight connection into the Hidden Acres development from Country Drive via Nadeau Road, rather than the jogged connection provided for in Option L The Planner noted that the original design has been labeled as Option 3 and provides for access into the Hidden Acres development via Yorkton Ridge and Burke Lane with no direct access to Condit Street. The Planner noted that all three options provide for the same number of lots. The Planner noted the financial analysis done by the City Administrator which finds that Option 1 is not feasible from the City's financial standpoint, but Option 2 is. The Planner noted that from a planning standpoint, Option 2 is the superior option as it resolves traffic flow issues raised by the neighborhood as well as helps to resolve traffic safety issues at the intersection of Nadeau Road /Condit Street /Burke Lane. The City Planner indicated that the City Engineer has reviewed issues relative to the pond proposed as part of the Hidden Acres development and whether or not the pond could be eliminated. The Engineer has found that the existing piping that brings flow to the Yorkton pond is not adequately sized to accommodate the storm water run off from the Hidden Acres development. Also, the Yorkton pond does not have existing capacity to handle additional run -off from the Hidden Acres development. The Planner noted that the cost of replacing the storm water piping, increasing pond capacity, and acquisition of any additional easements would be at the developer's expense. This additional expense may be more than the additional lot that the developer would gain if the pond is eliminated. The City Planner reported that the Park & Rec Commission has recommended that the City take a cash park charge versus land and that the possibility of a connection be explored from this area to the Water Works trails and over to Rondeau Park. The Commission recommended against the development of a separate park in this neighborhood. Knudsen noted that he had asked for other street options to be explored because of the need for improvements with the corner of Burke Lane /Condit Street /Nadeau Road. Knudsen stated that he was pleased with Option 2 as proposed, and noted that he had been willing to support the developer's original proposal (Option 03) provided that the Burke /Condit /Nadeau intersection was improved. Knudsen was also
