MINUTES <br />Planning Commission <br />March 3, 1983 <br />Heather Oaks If this projection was eliminated, the buildings would be in <br />compliance with the code. <br />Mr. McKenzie also commented that the Planner's reported stated <br />that a variance should only be granted if there is a hardship <br />or because of some previous public action. McKenzie stated that <br />he feels there was an arbitrary decision that stated everything north <br />bf the sewer line was wetland and everything south was buildable. <br />McKenzie stated that they are only asking for two units more than <br />what is provided under Code. McKenzie also stated that the Ordinance <br />says they could receive credit for the amount of wetland, and if <br />this were so, they would he allowed 55 units. <br />Mrs. Timmons stated that she was concerned that there was no <br />recreation area provided or green space. <br />Mr. McKenzie replied that with the purchase price being what it <br />they did not expect to sell to families with children. <br />Mr. Ducharme asked about drainage. McKenzie replied that everything <br />will drain to the road and then into the wetland area. <br />Mr. Thul stated that a portion of this property drains into his <br />property and that of his neighbors. Mr. Thul also reminded the <br />Commission of the drainage problem at Sleepy Hollow. Mr. DeLonais <br />stated that there will be a solution to this problem shortly and the <br />water will be pumped into Savage Lake. <br />Mr. Thul stated that he is located west of this property and he <br />had seclusion and wildlife before the development of the area. <br />Thul also stated that he was opposed to the building located to the <br />left on the site plan. This building is proposed to he set back <br />85 feet which will put it adjacent to the Thul front yard. Mr. Thul <br />asked that the Planning Commission eliminate this unit. <br />Mr. McKenzie also stated that there is a question of whether or not <br />the City will acquire Viking Drive. If it does, the front yard setbacks <br />will be in compliance with City Code. If not,a variance will be required. <br />Mrs. Timmons asked about the parking situation in the area. Timmons <br />pointed out that if a unit has guest, there is no place for them to <br />park. Mr. DeLonais stated that the City can take care of parking <br />requests on Viking Drive. <br />Mr. Licht reported that the State is considering turning Viking Drive <br />over to the City. Licht also pointed out that the applicant has <br />purchased property from the State. Licht stated that if the City <br />takes Viking Drive, the front units of the development can be spaced <br />out better. Licht recommended that action be held off on the front <br />unit to the left until the Viking Drive question is resolved. <br />Page —6— <br />
