Planning & Zoning Board December 14, 2005 Page 3 • noted that the transportation trail proposed for Lake Dr is planned as a commuter bike route. • • Mr. Pogalz questioned the opportunity for future rezone and potential development of the church property to the south. Mr. Smyser stated that the property was previously split into multiple parcels, and a road easement currently exists for future extension of the road that will run through Marshan Meadows. Mr. Smyser noted that the church property is currently zoned R -1, and that MUSA and utilities are currently available; therefore the site will be able to be developed. Mr. Laden asked who will maintain the sidewalk. Mr. Smyser replied that this developer proposed the sidewalk, therefore the homeowner will be expected to shovel it. Maintenance of the sidewalk will be the responsibility of the city. Mr. Smyser explained that maintenance is usually dependent on the funding of a development. Mr. Laden suggested that staff consider addressing this issue for future developments. Mr. Rafferty asked what the wetland vegetation is in this area. Mr. Smyser was unsure of details, but noted that the wetland is delineated. Mr. Rafferty asked if there are any restrictions in place that would prevent the property owner from removing cattails or other vegetation from the lakeshore. Mr. Smyser replied that in order to remove vegetation from below the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL), the owner would need permission from the DNR. Mr. Smyser added that a permit may or may not be required. Mr. Laden asked if the restrictions end at the OHWL. Mr. Smyser replied that the city requires a drainage and utility easement that extends ten feet beyond the wetland. The wetland area may extend past the OHWL. There were no further questions for staff. The Board recognized that Mr. Greg Schlink, Bruggeman Properties, 3564 Rollingview Drive, was in attendance to answer any questions. There were no questions for Mr. Schlink. The board appreciated Mr. Schlink's attendance. Mr. Pogalz made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Final Plat for Marshan Meadows.
