MINUTES PLANNING COMNIISSION JANUARY 9, 2002 The Planner indicated that the applicant would be required to construct the street at his cost with no assessment to other properties in the area. The location of the street connection is concept only at this point. Bob Leibel, 124 Twin Lake Blvd., expressed concern about the sharp curve in the street shown in Concept B. Leibel was concerned about fire truck access on that street. Keis pointed out that the drawings are only concept at this point. When the proposal proceeds to the platting stage, engineering details will be reviewed more thoroughly. Leibel pointed out how close the cul -de -sac was to Twin Lake Blvd., and suggested that the street run all the way through. Barraclough pointed out that the topography may be a problem. It was also suggested that perhaps the street could come in from. Twin Lake Blvd. and end in a cul -de -sac. Krengel noted the steep grade from Twin Lake Blvd. He also pointed out that bringing in the cul -de -sac from Twin Lake Road as shown in Concept B would eliminate one driveway on Twin Lake Blvd. Knudsen asked if there were any environmental concerns. The Planner noted that storm water ponding will have to be addressed. Steve Bertrand, 154 Twin Lake Blvd., suggested that three lakeshore lots were too much of an impact on the lake. Keis noted that the lot sizes and widths appear to meet Shoreland regulations. Roycraft asked the size of the homes that would be developed. Carlson did not have any size estimates at this point, but indicated that they would be custom -built homes to fit the lots. : Roycraft suggested that when the developers come back with the preliminary plat they include information on drainage and storm water ponding as well as have examples of what the homes would look like. Knudsen indicated that it might make sense to bring the cul -de -sac in from Twin Lake Blvd. Carlson replied that the grade is too severe and it is a safer situation corning in from Twin Lake Road. The Planner pointed out that public streets should have no more than a 7 to 8 percent grade. He also noted that this is a north sloping road, which would make it even more important to minimize the grade. - 6 -
