MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />FEBRUARY 15, 2001 <br />temporary situation, the Council approved a variance for the length to <br />exceed 500 feet. <br />Keis asked if installation of a cul -de -sac at the end of Leeward Way would <br />interfere with the potential for future extension of that street to the south. <br />The Planner replied that a full cul -de -sac at the end of the street would <br />eliminate the potential for the two lots Mr. Theis is proposing. <br />Inman again indicated that he would be in favor of the half street and <br />pointed out that this would allow Mr. Theis to develop as well as the <br />property owner on Allen Avenue that wanted to develop. <br />The City Planner indicated that he would like to discuss the half - street <br />option with the City Engineer as well as explore options for providing a <br />turn- around area at the end of Leeward Way under the Theis proposal. <br />Keis stated that the question is would the City allow a half road. <br />Greg Lancette reported that he was opposed to the half road option being <br />discussed. Lancette explained some past history relative to the <br />development of the Leeward Way area and indicated that he would only <br />consider developing his property is if Mr. Inman dies or sells all of his <br />land to a developer and moves out of the area. <br />Keis suggested that the Commission get back to the issue at hand, the <br />property division and variance requested by Mr. Theis. <br />Lancette stated that he wanted to see the jog in the road so that the future <br />extension of Leeward Way would straddle the common lot line between <br />his property and Inman's. Theis stated that he was agreeable to the jog in <br />the road as well as would be willing to flair out the end of the street so that <br />there would be some sort of turn around area. <br />Duray pointed out that it would be difficult to find a solution to the <br />development issues at this time other than ending the road as proposed by <br />Mr. Theis with some sort of turn around at the end. <br />The Commission discussed the half road suggested by Mr. Inman. <br />Roycraft felt that the half road would address some immediate needs, but <br />felt that it would be to everyone's advantage to adopt at a thoroughfare <br />plan for the area. Keis pointed out that the concept thoroughfare plan for <br />the area is being used as a guideline for future development. Keis felt that <br />a thoroughfare plan should not be formally adopted until such time as the <br />property owners want to develop their property. <br />Page 23 <br />
