MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 11, 1991 Bendel asked how much fill would need to be brought into the site. Welch indicated that his surveyor has indicated that there is a surplus of material on the site. Carol Tomaszewski asked how much it will cost residents of the area if Jackson Street needs to be upgraded. DeLonais reported that there are no plans for the upgrading of Jackson Street at this time. Joe Fasciana felt it was foolish to upgrade Jackson Street at this time until the other property in the area is developed. Welch pointed out that construction traffic for the proposed development could be directed in from the industrial traffic to keep this traffic off Jackson Street. The residents of the area reported that there is demolition debris under the berm which will be uncovered if the berm is moved. The Planning Commission indicated that should that debris be uncovered, the developer will have to deal with it. Herkenhoff stated that his concern is that should the developer have difficulty selling homes, he will come back with another proposal for the property. DeLonais pointed out that the property is zoned for single- family residential. Any other type of development will require a public hearing and rezoning. Residents of the area would be notified if such a proposal were made. Gene Leo asked if some sort of restrictions could be placed on the property so that the developer could not develop anything other than single- family homes. DeLonais replied that those restrictions are already in place since the property is zoned R -1. Fasciana asked if there were any assurances that once the project is begun it will be completed. Welch reported that Gardner Bros. Homes is buying the property and will be developing it. The City Planner pointed out that once the street and utilities are in place, there are economic incentives in place to get the project completed. Page 9
