Planning & Zoning Board December 10, 2025 Page 4 Mr. Metzer stated they are already in contact with the existing homeowners and are working on the driveway concerns. Chair Root wanted to address concerns from the neighborhood meeting and how they plan to address those concerns. Mr. Metzer stated that they have not changed from the neighborhood meeting, rather the existing concerns regarding drainage and brush. Mr. Metzer stated the runoff would be reduced. Chair Root wanted to comment on the entry sign and the renderings and wanted to suggest adding “Lino Lakes” to the sign. Chair Root opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Jerry L’Allier, 7601 Gordon Avenue, had concerns about the trees along the north lot line and not being able to view the lake. Mr. L’Allier stated that the current trees are doing a good job of preventing flooding and would like to see more screening. Mr. L’Allier does not want to have to pay for his own trees and believes the developer should have to pay. Mr. L’Allier also had concerns about traffic in the area and the removal of the road along the lake. Mr. L’Allier believes this would make the area more dangerous. Mr. L’Allier does not understand why the water supply is not being addressed and believes we should not approve phases three and four until the well is in place. Mr. Laden motioned to close the public hearing at 7:48 p.m. Motion was seconded by Ms. Guthmueller. Motion carried 6 – 0. Mr. Metzer addressed the concerns regarding the trees, he stated there will be 70 trees planted along there and many of the existing trees will not be removed. Chair Root wanted to address the traffic concerns regarding closing Peltier Lake Drive. Ms. Hankee clarified that the street is not being shut down, rather rerouted through the site. Chair Root addressed the water supply and how the City could approve development if there would not be guaranteed supply for each phase. Ms. Larsen wanted to clarify that this is a preliminary plat, and that before each phase this will be presented before the board for each final plat where water supply would be addressed at that time. Mr. Laden wanted to speak on the architectural standards. Mr. Laden is fine with the flexibility for the larger lot sizes. Mr. Laden was not in favor of flexibility regarding the garage façade and size. Mr. Laden would not be in favor of this for a single floor plan. Mr. Laden wanted to make sure that the garage window on the rambler is included in the recommendations.
