• • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD October 12, 1994 Mr. Brixius indicated several studies are ongoing including: TDKA, an Area Wide Utility Feasibility Study; SEH, The Otter Lake Improvement and Alignment; and OSM, in cooperation with the City of Hugo, the City is participating in an area Storm Water Management Study. Mr. Brixius reviewed concerns of Staff. He stated that with a number of studies pertinent to this subdivision being outstanding, he does not believe sufficient information is available to properly evaluate this development proposal. He recommended a continuation of the public hearing to the November Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Mr. Gelbmann inquired as to the current traffic generation. Mr. Brixius indicated he did not have that information available tonight. Mr. Gelbmann indicated the Town of White Bear Lake has approved a multi - theater complex on Centerville and Ash, will this have an impact on the traffic. Mr. Brixius indicated they have received the traffic impact analysis and he believes this information was available to SEH when their report was made. Mr. Landers indicated a concern for the number of new homes that would be built through the five year phasing, this would indicate 91.2 new homes each year and he feels this is too many. Mr. Brixius indicated generally the limit to phasing would be based on market conditions. Chairman Schaps OPENED the public hearing at 7:55 p.m., reminding the audience that the public hearing will be continued to the November meeting. Mr. Jay Cain, 6584 Otter Lake Road, indicated he had several comments and question. Mr. Cain indicated his property, which is directly south of the proposed development, is not for sale for development. Chairman Schaps requested Mr. Cain to point out his property, which is directly south of the proposed development. Mr. Cain indicated a concern that this development would be an "island" of development and incompatible to surrounding land use, surrounding properties are horse farms and to suggest this property is compatible is incorrect. Mr. Cain noted this type of development would be very costly and inquired if the City is subsidizing the project in any way. Staff indicated the developer would cover all costs of the project.
