Mounds View Planning Commission November 15, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Associate Heller informed the Commission the proposed development would be consistent with <br />that designation and with the Comprehensive Plan residential goals. <br />Planning Associate Heller reported the engineers determined no wetlands exist on the site and <br />communicated that information to the Rice Creek Watershed District. She stated minimum <br />building elevations are well above requirements. She stated the engineers have no issues with <br />the grading because the streets include curb and gutter that ensure storm sewer catch basins <br />would accept all runoff from the streets and driveways. She stated that whatever stormwater did <br />not infiltrate into the ground, would be piped into the infiltration ponds. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated park dedication funds would be imposed to mitigate public <br />costs to the park system associated with land development due to the increased intensity of the <br />new development. She explained everything on the site that is not a building would be dedicated <br />as an outlot and platted for utility and drainage easements. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller indicated the meeting was not a public hearing, but all residents within <br />350 feet of the site were notified. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated no resolution is included at this time. She stated the Planning <br />Commission could direct staff to draft a resolution for the next meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked if the park dedication fee was ten percent and who established the <br />property value. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller replied the park dedication fee is ten percent of the land’s market <br />value. She explained Staff determined market value by using Ramsey County assessed land <br />values. She stated the value of the Integra property was determined by the per square foot land <br />value of a comparable neighboring R-3 zoned property at 2935 County Road 10. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if part of the park dedication fee would be a portion of the funds placed in <br />escrow for the trail. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller replied this was a separate amount. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked how the single light in the turn around would affect lighting on the <br />most northwestern part of the townhomes. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller replied it was left up to the developers to decide. She stated the <br />Commission could recommend lighting if they felt more was needed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn stated, based on the map, it appears the light would be blocked from the <br />northwestern area. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated this could be discussed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked who would be responsible for all the common properties.
