• Planning and Zoning Board April 13, 1983 Page 4- Mr. Goldade asked that Mr. Hanson be supplied with a list of requirements to be met before he returns to the Commission for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Ostlie asked the reason for extending the runway? Is it to allow larger air planes to land? Mr. Hanson said the state requirement is 2,000 feet for a runway and it is for safety reasons. (He did not say anything about landing larger air planes.) Mr. Schumacher asked that Mr. Hanson give the Commission a copy of the Metropolitan Airport Commission approval. A five minute recess was called at 9:00 P.M. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL - RICE LAKE ESTATES - DONALD SPAGENSKI Mr. Zack Johnson, a planning consultant, appeared for Mr. Spagenski who was also in the audience. He explained that they wish to present the concept at this time, not asking for plat approval or zone change approval, but asking for feelings and comments about this de- velopment proposal before they go into more detail engineering and bring back a preliminary plat. Mr. Johnson explained the analysis process regarding the land and how the proposal was de- loped. He had larger more detailed maps with him for his presentation and explained the ation of the Park Land on the east, Hodgson Road on the north, the City of Circle Pines on the south and the proposed commercial development on the west. He explained they wished to avoid major cut or fill operations on the land, leave it as natural as possible. He further explained the area is proposed for multiple family on the proposed zoning map. Also the severelimitation of the site due to steep slopes and wet lands were addressed. Trees and vegitation are proposed to be distrubed as little as possible. The proposal is for about 120 to 130 homesites on 432 acres. About 10+ acres are undevelop- able, 6+ acres are to be right -of -ways, 1 acre for a convenience commercial site. There would be 25 - 26 acres left for single family development, an average lot size of 9,400 sq. ft, smallest lot size, 7,800 sq. ft. Approximately 30% of the developable site will be 7,800 sq. ft. lot sizes. This will be all single family, corner occupied homes in the price range of high $40,000 to law $50,000. Mr. McLean pointed out the proposed ordinance requires a minimum of 9,000 sq. ft. lot sizes. Mr. Johnson said he is asking that the Board consider variation of lot sizes to better re- tain the natural amenities of the land but keeping the total site to an average of 9,400 sq. ft. Mr. Johnson explained these lots will have municipal sewer and water. The smallest house will have a minimum width of 24feet and minimum sq. ft. of 1,050. Some lots will be at a ttle higher quality and will have higher quality homes placed on them. ' 0 r. McLean and Mr. Prokop felt they wished to adhere to the 9,000 minimum sq. ft. lot size and 70' front footage size required by the ordinance.
