MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 11, 1999 Keis asked if all the lots were buildable as proposed, informing LaTendre that the City would not be interested in granting variances on the individual lots. LaTendre pointed out that the concept show 18 Lots. However, the number of lots could be reduced to 17 if necessary. LaTendre pointed out that the DNR will be out to mark the high water mark, and this designation may affect the number of lots that they will propose. LaTendre indicated that he wanted the Commission's feeling on the concept at this point. He will also need input from the Public Works Department and Fire Department on issues such as the water main, public versus private street, and fire access. LaTendre indicated that he will raise the issue of the walking path with the Parks & Recreation Commission. Keis indicated that he had no problem with the concept as proposed. The cul -de -sac is too long, but there appears to be no alternative to that. With regard to public versus private street, the Planning Commission indicated that they were not prepared to address that issue at this time. LaTendre suggested that he address the issues outlined above with Public Works, the Fire Department, and the Parks & Recreation Commission, and then come back to the Planning Commission for a more definite direction on the concept. COMP PLAN The City Planner reported that the City's Comp Plan update was sent to UPDATE the Met Council on December 31st. From that point there is a two -month comment period. The City of Maplewood had some comments regarding boundary lines shown on some of the maps. The Watershed commented about the incorporation of their watershed management plan into the City's Plan. The Planner indicated that once the Met Council makes their comments, the Comp Plan will be modified incorporating all the changes, and will be brought to the Planning Commission and Council for adoption.
