1 • • • Planning & Zoning Board October 9, 1996 Mr. Duff Dorschner stated that he lives adjacent to the Behm's Century Farms development. He sold an easement to the City for a buried utility cable on Lilac Street. Since the utilities have been installed, the sod in his yard has not yet been replaced. Every other property has been re- sodded except his and one other. He asked if the grading and sod work could be expedited, as he would like to have his property restored to the condition it was in before the utility work. City Engineer Ahrens stated that there is still some utility work to be done, and the contractor does not want to replace the sod until all of the work is completed. He agreed to check on the status of the project. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to close the "Open Mike" portion of the meeting at 6:41 p.m. and was seconded by Mr. Gelbmann. The motion carried unanimously, 6 -0. V. ACTION ITEMS A. 96 -30 - Planned Development Overlay, Twin City Townhomes, Apollo Meadows Townhomes - Continuation of Public Hearing Ms. Wyland stated that at the last Planning & Zoning Board meeting, this application was continued in order to allow the applicant time to pursue additional access arrangements on Apollo Drive with Anoka County. The existing agreement with Anoka County allows four driveways and one roadway access on the north side of Apollo Drive, and four accesses on the south side. Staff has requested the County to allow five access driveways on the north side of Apollo Drive and eliminate the roadway access in order to facilitate the development of properties on Apollo Drive. The County Engineer has indicated his agreement with the request. The County Board will review the requested amendment at their meeting on October 22, 1996, and the matter will be on the City Council agenda October 28, 1996. Therefore, staff is recommending that this public hearing be continued to the November 13, 1996 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, when a revised site plan will be submitted. Mr. Johnson asked if the site plan will address the other concerns expressed by the Board. Mr. Patrick Simons, Representative of Twin City Town Homes, stated that with the approval of the amendment by the County and City Council, access issues will be addressed. Other concerns expressed by the Board will also be addressed with the revised site plan.
