Planning&Zoning Board <br /> June 10, 1998 <br /> Page 6 <br /> Chair Schaps verified that what is needed from the P&Z is an endorsement of the PDO <br /> and formal action on the Preliminary Plat. <br /> Mr. Corson stated that the developer for Trappers Crossing paid for sewer and road <br /> improvement. He asked what this plat will dedicate. Mr. Brixius indicated that this issue <br /> will be raised with the City Council. Mr. Corson stated that he would like to see <br /> consistency. <br /> Mr. Trehus asked if it was possible to move the pond over to eliminate the need for the <br /> PDO. Mr. Brixius stated that the drainage function of the pond was best suited in the <br /> proposed site. <br /> Mr. Johnson asked what the City would be receiving to justify the PDO. Mr. Brixius <br /> stated that Trappers Crossing had a similar plan. The City will be getting a development <br /> that will fit into this site. The integrity of the zoning will be maintained. <br /> Mr. Schaps noted that most of the current members of the Planning and Zoning Board <br /> were not involved with Trappers Crossing. He stated that the narrowness of the two <br /> corner lots concerned him. Mr. Brixius stated that the lots can maintain the side setbacks. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that Trappers Crossing involved more lots. He expressed concern <br /> regarding a precedence being set by the City. Although Trappers Crossing was granted a <br /> PDO,a broad scale for another development is not necessarily justified. He stated that �.. <br /> the lot sizes are too small,there is a traffic hazard at the comer of Holly Drive, and ditch <br /> 25 could cause a problem. <br /> Chair Schaps asked about eliminating one lot. Mr. Brixius stated that if one lot is <br /> eliminated there is not the need for a PDO. Chair Schaps asked if eliminating one lot has <br /> been considered by the applicant. The applicant indicated he wanted to pursue the 11 lot <br /> PDO. <br /> Mr. Corson stated that Holly Drive reminded him of Ware Road because of children and <br /> bike traffic. He asked about possible trail options. Ms. Wyland indicated that the <br /> proposed trail along Holly Drive to Lot#1 is for the purpose of gaining access to Birch <br /> Park through Trappers Crossing. <br /> Mr. Corson asked about any comments from the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. <br /> Wyland indicated that the Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed a permit <br /> application and approval of the permit is pending. <br /> Mr. Dunn wondered why this item was already scheduled for City Council <br /> approval/denial when the Planning and Zoning Board has not given a recommendation. <br /> Mr. Brixius stated that it was on the schedule for a City Council Meeting. A <br /> recommendation is still required from the Planning and Zoning Board. u <br />
