Planning & Zoning Board <br />July 10, 2002 <br />Page 20 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />Mr. Grochala replied staff was aware of the numbers. He indi cated the next step once the <br />Comprehensive Plan was completed was the implementation of those policies through the <br />Ordinances. He stated the City did not curr ently have an Ordinance requirement in effect <br />to limit growth to the 2010 number at this ti me. He reminded the Commission that was <br />the reason staff was pushing for the mo ratorium in January,2002 and while that <br />moratorium was granted, this development, as well as other developments had already <br />come in and the City Council al lowed them to proceed. He stated this was a choice that <br />was made by the City Council at that time, even though it was not his recommendation. <br />He indicated the preliminary plat, zoning, MU SA allocation, etc. al l met with the City’s <br />requirements and was consistent as to what was proposed in that area for the future. <br />Matthew Weiland, Tollefson Devel opment, stated they had worked very hard to address <br />the issues that the Board had requested they look at. He st ated they agreed and supported <br />their recommendation. <br />Chair Schaps asked how the neighborhood mee tings went. Mr. Weiland replied there <br />were a number of concerns presented by th e neighborhood, especially regarding density, <br />protection of wetlands, drainage and pending issues, buffers, pr otection of trees, etc. He <br />stated all of those issues were addressed a nd while everyone was not completely satisfied, <br />there were residents who were no longer opposed. <br />Mr. Weiland asked for clarification about recommendation number 13 and asked if <br />grading could occur prior to the Development Agreement. Mr. Grochala replied they <br />would want the Comprehensive Plan i ssues resolved prio r to any grading. <br />Mr. Corson asked about the wetland delinea tion. Mr. Weiland replied the existing tile <br />would be torn up as a part of the grading operation and there would be another outlet on <br />the site. <br />Mr. Lyden stated the layout of the developmen t looked excellent. He asked the price and <br />type of home that would be in the development. Mr. Weiland replied $300,000.00 to <br />$350,000.00. It would be similar to the same developments in the area. <br />Mr. Lyden asked about traffic, rush hour, and Centerville Road. Mr. Grochala replied the <br />concern was being able to get out on the road. He stated the amount of traffic at the <br />intersection was backing up traffic. He stated this was a congestion issue. <br />Mr. Lyden asked when does a congestion issu e become a safety issue. Mr. Grochala <br />replied when there were accidents, volume, etc. that made it a safety issue and not just a <br />congestion issue. Mr. Grocha la replied it appears there were not enough of these issues <br />at that intersection to justify a signal. <br />Mike McNamara, 1525 Holly Drive East, expres sed concern about his lot being split and <br />his property being condemned. He stated he personally thought the City was growing too <br />fast. He stated the traffic had increased significantly and it was difficult to get out of <br />Holly Drive. Chair Schaps pointed out th at this development would not extend Holly <br />Drive.
