Pl anni ng & Zo ni n g B o ar d Ju ne 9 , 20 04 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES Chair Schaps noted the Board was willing to work on the open space requirement if guest parking was accommodated for and he suggested he accept the offer of tabling this to next month’s meeting to address the c oncerns brought up at tonight’s meeting. Mr. Hokanson stated he would agree to the tabl ing. He pointed out that the park fees had been previously paid. Chair Schaps stated th ey would need to work out park fees with staff. Mr. Pogalz noted four parking spots per home was true in theory, but people also needed their garage for storage, so more than likel y, there would not be four spots available for parking. He suggested they remove units 22 and 23 from the existing location, going over to units 1, 2, 3 and 4 and create a sepa rate stub street creating their own area and creating either 3-two ho me units or 2-three home units. He noted this might cost more in asphalt, but what they were saving on the l ong driveways and the utility cost would also be less. He noted new open space would be created at the southwest corner and additional green space would be created around units 5, 6, 7, and 8. Mr. Hokanson replied by following Mr. Pogalz suggestion, they would lose a lot of existing trees. Mr. Pogalz replied he believed they might lo se a couple of trees and asked them to look at this proposal. Jim Crawford, President of Mars han Lake Townhomes, stated he had reviewed and plan. He stated the townhomes that were along A qua Lane had the rear building facing the street. He stated this plan would not fit in to the existing area because their development had the front of their buildings facing Aqua La ne. He noted he did not know if this was a concern, but believed it would look out of place and it would disrupt the continuity of the area. He asked if the volume of the water coming off of this development would have an impact on their pond. He requested this be l ooked at. Mr. Studenski replied this was incorporated into the development and this would not be a problem. Mr. Crawford expressed concern about this development parking in their existing guest parking. He stated extra parking was cr itical in a townhome association. Mr. Root asked if he had the opportunity to review the landscaping plan. Mr. Crawford replied he had not seen the landscaping plan. Mr. Root pointed out that there would be la ndscaping along the back of this development facing the street and suggested he look at these plans. Mr. Rafferty made a MOTION to recommend tabling this i ssue and continue the public hearing to the July 14, 2004 meeting and wa s supported by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 6- 0. B. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, for a Rezoning (from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive) and Preliminary Plat, as well as MUSA Reserve Allocation, for Junes Addition, located at 599 – 62 nd Street
