Mounds View Planning Commission December 6, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ on the 2925 County Road 10 lot to remain in place. Planning Associate Heller reported the cost for a privacy fence along this area would be expensive. She stated Integra Homes agreed to extend the privacy fence to the northwest corner of the site, and may extend the existing chain- link fence and would leave the landscaping buffer around the site. She mentioned the neighbor also had concerns with the infiltration pond and the safety of his small children. She reported the infiltration pond should help another neighbor by having water drain from his property into the pond. Planning Associate Heller stated Staff would review and compare the homeowners’ association bylaws to the bylaws of other townhomes across County Highway 10. Planning Associate Heller mentioned Staff is working with Integra Homes and the Fire Department to add sprinklers to most or all of the buildings. Planning Associate Heller reported the Planning Commission instructed Staff at the last meeting to draft a resolution recommending approval of the request. Commissioner Miller asked if enough lighting for safety and security would be provided around the units. Planning Associate Heller replied lighting would be located at the front door and on either side of each garage door. Commissioner Miller referred to page seven, paragraph two of the engineer’s report that states a large number of issues need to be addressed and resolved; recommending approval of the resolution should be contingent upon approval of the final construction plans. Planning Associate Heller replied the recommendations would be added to the resolution. Commissioner Miller asked why the Department of Health was involved with this project. Planning Associate Heller replied it was because of the water main extension. Chair Stevenson opinioned that the additions to the resolution address most of the Planning Commission’s issues. He mentioned he liked that the park dedication fee is not yet determined as it is still an issue. He remarked he is fine with passing this on in the current format and allowing the City Council to handle the park dedication fee issue. Chair Stevenson entertained a motion at this time.
