Planning & Zoning Board <br />June 12, 2024 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson likes the buffers between the houses and the extra green space. He is not <br />concerned about the width of the lot. He thinks the holding pond should be connected <br />and that a meeting should be held with the community. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler asked who pays for the utilities to be brought to the development. Ms. <br />Larsen said the utilities are presently in the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden had asked if the City could get a copy of the Power Point from the architect. <br />Ms. Larsen said we could. Mr. Laden is comfortable with the overall density and <br />appreciates the shorter cul-de-sacs. He is concerned about the 55 ft lots and does not <br />want to see all garage from the street. He thinks they should pay close attention to the <br />product and thinks the mosque should be moved to where it is more visible. He also <br />agrees with public safety that Carl Street should be connected. <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech would also like a public waterway and he thinks the park should be shifted <br />so you can see the large lake from it. He is not in favor of connecting the other streets. <br />Mr. Vojtech wanted to keep the standard lots at 60 feet and agrees for the need of a <br />neighborhood meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler would like to see a topography change when the development is completed. <br />Ms. Larsen stated it would be built up. <br /> <br />Ms. Guthmueller is concerned about the density and does not see a whole lot of green <br />space. She does not see much room for wildlife due to the density in the development <br />and thinks we should keep with the standard lot sizes. Ms. Guthmueller also thinks a <br />neighborhood meeting is necessary. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden was in favor of 7 ½ foot setbacks and thinks it should be City wide. Mr. <br />Evenson agrees. <br /> <br />Mr. Root would like to see the City keep with the density that R-1 requires. Mr. Root <br />dislikes the location of the apartments and believes the density is too high. Mr. Root <br />addressed the traffic and thought a better area for the mosque and commercial <br />buildings would be at Sunset and Main or Century Trail and Sunset if there was a <br />roundabout for traffic control. Mr. Root is skeptical about the green easements around <br />the houses and does not think it will be manageable and would also like to see the <br />architectural plans. He agrees to establish minimum lot width and depth for single <br />family homes. <br />
