The wetland area has been doubled. He stated he has met with the Park Board. Trail access is on the north. There is an easement which will be driveable. Mr. Dunn asked which way the water will flow from the created ponds. Mr. Carlson indicated he can not answer that at this time. Mr. Powell stated the flow will go to the existing storm system, which is to the south. Mr. Dunn stated he felt the plan is acceptable. He indicated he would like to see a traffic analysis and figures regarding the capability of 62nd Street in its current mode. He stated specifics are needed for balance. Mr. Powell stated that in general terms, for a connection, 62nd Street will have to be upgraded. Mr. Dunn stated it will be easier to upgrade 62nd Street because it does not have to go to the voters. Mr. Schilling asked if Mr. Carlson has any problems with the conditions outlined by staff. Mr. Carlson stated he agrees that 62nd should be improved. Mr. Corson asked if the road is not put in now will there be enough lots to the south to justify the road. Mr. Carlson indicated there will not be enough lots to justify the road. Mr. Powell stated an agreement will be negotiated. It was the consensus of the Planning & Zoning Board of a favorable response to the concept plan keeping in mind the following issues: 1. All the land required for the extension of West Shadow Lake Road must be dedicated for that use at the time of final plat approval. The concept plan shows the street dedication are overlapping a corner of another land owner's lot. Using this piece of land will require the owner's permission. Another option is to revise the site plan so that the street dedication area is shifted to the east and does not include another owner's land. 2. The street dedication are south of the cul -de -sac should be shifted slightly to the east so that lot 8 does not extend south into a thin band of upland. This will increase the amount of buildable land on the west side of the road. • • •
