MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 11, 1991 The City Planner did not believe there would be a problem with truck traffic, but suggested that employees of the industrial park would drive through the residential neighborhood to and from work. DeLonais asked the length of the cul -de -sac. The City Planner replied that the cul -de -sac is proposed at 1,000 feet. The maximum allowed under City Code is 500 feet. Garske pointed out that with the right -of -way in place if the cul -de -sac situation does not work, the road could always be connected to the industrial park in the future. If the road is put all the way through, Garske suggested that weight restrictions could be posted to keep truck traffic off the road. DeLonais asked about landscaping and buffering. Welch described the berm that would be moved further back on the property. Welch also proposed landscaping and some fencing on the berm. Welch pointed out that the development agreement will address landscaping, and as each building permit is pulled, the lot would have to be landscaped in compliance with the covenants set up in the development agreement. Welch reported that Bill Sanders has suggested that a fence not be installed the entire length of the berm, but rather natural landscaping be used. Leo asked the height of the berm. Welch replied that at its lowest point the berm would be 6 feet in height, and 10 feet at its highest point. These details are being worked out with the City Engineer. Keis asked who would be responsible for maintenance of the fence. Welch pointed out that due to this concern, Bill Sanders is suggesting the use of natural landscaping. Joe Fasciana stated that he would like to see the berm constructed as high as possible. Welch pointed out that the higher the berm, the more the berm will cut into backyard areas due to the required slope that must be maintained. Page 7
