MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />APRIL 13, 1995 <br />which would be comparable to the amount of land they <br />are willing to dedicate for Jackson Street. <br />Tod Magnuson pointed out that he has a direct benefit <br />from the street improvement since the bus would be able <br />to loop through the area, but no direct benefit from <br />the cul -de -sac improvement. <br />Carson asked if a 40 -foot paved cul -de -sac could be <br />improved at the end of Australian. <br />The Planner pointed out the impact a 30 -foot paved cul- <br />de -sac would have on the Morelan property with 40 -feet <br />increasing that impact. Moving the cul -de -sac over <br />would increase the impact on the Magnuson property. <br />Carson felt a cul -de -sac was preferable to a through <br />street. <br />Berniece Magnuson stated that she would prefer the <br />through street. Magnuson pointed out that she does not <br />have much of a back yard, and her children use the <br />front yard to play. A cul -de -sac would reduce her <br />front yard area. Magnuson did not feel a through <br />street would increase traffic in the area. <br />Morelan pointed out if a cul -de -sac takes a substantial <br />piece of his property, and a 30 -foot front yard setback <br />is required from the cul -de -sac, that would result in a <br />house being constructed fairly deep into the lot. <br />Schletty stated that he did not have enough information <br />to make a decision on this matter. Schletty would like <br />to see square footages of the amounts of property each <br />of the owners would have to give up under the various <br />scenarios. Schletty pointed out that the Commission is <br />not sure if a cul -de -sac would result in Morelan having <br />too little square footage to divide his property. <br />The City Planner pointed out that the diagram on page <br />15 shows if the entire cul -de -sac comes from the <br />Morelan property, there would still be adequate square <br />footage to divide the property and meet minimum <br />standards. However, the design style of the home that <br />could be built on the lot is restricted. <br />Schletty felt the same problem was true for the Tima <br />property. <br />10 <br />Page 35 <br />
