MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 8, 2003 Sherman reviewed the layout of utilities within the development, and indicated that modifications have been made to accommodate the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer. Sherman then reviewed the summary and recommendations contained in the Planner's report and indicated that he is in agreement with all except for recommendations #6, #8, and #13. Sherman indicated that he would like to review these recommendations in more detail with the City Planner and City Engineer. Sherman reviewed the recommendations of the City Engineer as outlined in his report dated May 2, 2003. He indicated agreement with the recommendations relative to the preliminary plat and the site plan. Duray asked about visitor parking. The Planner noted that the standard is one visitor parking space for every three to Lour units. The Planner indicated that it appears that this standard can be met. Duray asked about emergency vehicle access for the two dead -end streets shown on the plat. Sherman noted that hopefully the most southern street will connect to Rice Street in the future. A fire access road is being provided for the other dead -end street. Sherman reviewed the recommendations relative to the utility plan. Again Sherman indicated that he is reviewing with the City Engineer the route that storm water drainage will take into the pond and eventually into Round Lake. Knudsen asked if there were any recreational facilities planned for around the pond. Sherman indicated that there is a gazebo and grilling area planned for adjacent to the pond that could be used by the townhome owners as well as the residents of the senior apartment. Wojcik asked the price range for the first phase townhomes. Sherman estimated the prices at between $225 and $265,000. Sherman informed the Commission that he will bring back the final plat for The Village at their June meeting. He is also planning to present plans for the first office building on the property at the northeast corner of Rice Street and Little Canada Road in June. Duray asked about the shed at the back of the Ultimate Golf building. Sherman reported that the shed will be torn down and Ultimate Golf will have to maintain the back of their property in an orderly manner. The Planner also noted the need for the Commission to act on the property division of the Ultimate Golf property so that the back portion of the property can be included in the townhome development. Barraclough recommended approval of the property division of the Ultimate Golf property as presented. -d -
