MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 14, 1991 Welch stated that his proposal should not be held up pending resolution of the site at Jackson and Little Canada Road. Drabik felt that the City needed to address the concerns of the residents. Pedersen stated that he was not prepared to act on the proposal as presented since he did not know the status of Boss Road. Welch again stated that if a second access is wanted, he would be prepared to run the street through to the industrial park. Garske pointed out that the Commission would be powerless to stop the development if it met all City Code requirements. The variance being requested is for cul -de -sac length. Garske felt that the Commission had to separate the emotional issues. Johnson pointed out that the residents of the area were just notified of the proposal. These residents do not know Mr. Welch. There is one major landowner in the area who is out -of -town. Johnson requested a 30 -day delay on the matter so that concerns could be worked out. Johnson felt that there were economic considerations as well as traffic concerns that needed to be worked out. Johnson did not feel Welch had presented a complete plan. Pedersen pointed out that the Commission is being asked to recommend preliminary approval, not the final plat. Mary Ann Auge asked if the City required financial disclosure from the developer, pointing out that she did not want to see the same problems that have occurred in the industrial park. Welch replied that before he can begin development, he would have to enter into a development agreement with the City which includes full financial disclosure. Francis Tomaszewski suggested that the developer cut down the number of homes being proposed and line up lot lines so that the development will fit into the neighborhood. Robert Carrier agreed. Mr. Welch reported that he has been a planner for 22 years and reported that it is always better to stagger lot lines. Page 6
