MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION August 9, 1990 Bruhn agreed that there was an easement through the Plessel property for Noel Drive. Garske pointed out that the City Attorney will have to determine the existence of this easement. DeBace pointed out that it is the preliminary plat before the Commission this evening. The details being discussed tonight will have to be resolved before action can be taken on the final plat. Marlys Grose, 2895 Vanderbie, asked the size lots being proposed. DeBace replied that the lots will be approximately 84.6 feet wide by 127 feet deep. The City Planner reported that the Planning Commission could move on the preliminary plat subject to adequate access to the interior of the property. Access could be via Allen Avenue and LaBore Road or via cross streets. The developer would then have to try to get neighborhood approval. The Planner cautioned the Commission that the City should require dedication of the necessary easements at the time of platting, rather than at the time the property is actually developed. Garske asked if one access for Noel Drive, either from Allen Avenue or LaBore Road, would be acceptable. The Planner replied that one access would not be acceptable because then the cul -de -sac would be too long. DeBace requested approval of the preliminary plat as submitted showing Noel Drive running through to both Allen Avenue and LaBore Road. If for some reason it is not possible to make these connections, then the alternative would be for either one or two cross streets. DeBace preferred one cross street since two will result in the loss of six lots. Costa reported that if two cross streets are required, the project will no longer be feasible since costs will become prohibitive. Drabik stated that she preferred to see two connections since cross streets make for nicer neighborhood. Drabik also pointed out that the cross streets will provide better circulation through the area and access to the park. Page 5
