MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 8, 2007 Hall asked about the retaining wall along the railroad tracks. It was noted that the only retaining wall is within the center island of the cul-de-sac. Hall's reference was to silt fencing shown on the plan. Pechmann asked about the control of storm water run-off. Moore noted that the plans are being reviewed by the Watershed for compliance with ponding requirements. Moore indicated that they are aware that all storm water run- off from this site must be controlled within the site. He indicated that they have accounted for all storm water on the site. This water will drain in the pond as designed and into the storm water system that is being put in place. It was noted that the front yards of Lots 5 and 6 will drain to the front to the new street and into the holding pond. Corey Risty, 50 East County Road C, suggested that the curve from Old County Road C into this development was may be too angled. He noted that there is a lot of traffic on Old County Road C, and suggested that traffic controls may be necessary at this intersection. Risty also expressed disappointment that the plat and new street were not named for the Tereau family. The City Planner indicated that no traffic controls were planned for the intersection. He indicated that should traffic volumes warrant it, haffic controls would be considered. Risty suggested that the City do a traffic study of this area to determine if traffic controls are needed at the time the development is constructed. The City Planner suggested that the Public Works Superintendent and the City Engineer would look at this issue. The Planner also noted that the issue of maintenance of the holding pond maintenance and the landscaped area along the railroad tracks will have to be addressed in the Development Agreement for this project. Socha asked how street names are determined. The City Planner indicated that typically developers propose street names. If the name proposed is not confusing for emergency vehicle personnel and/or the street is not an extension of or in alignment with an existing street, the name proposed is usually accepted. Moore indicated that he was open for discussion on the street name. Mr. Duray recommended approval of the Preliminary and the Final Plat for Moore's Evergreen Hill Addition subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer. Motion seconded by Pechmann. Motion carried 4 - 0. Barraclough abstained. -3-
