Planning Commission Minutes — May 12, 2005 Page 4 of 5 engineers on the design of the wall. It would be 20 feet high and she showed samples of what the panels would look like. Hoffbeck asked what activities occurred in building two since there was to be no exterior storage. Kunkel explained that it was finished carpentry work and all materials needed to be stored inside. McRoberts questioned whether trees could be planted on the Highway side of the wall. The CDD said staff would work with the applicant on the screening wall and bring it back to the Planning Commission for approval. This would be after they began construction on the building. Hoffbeck asked the applicant if they would be okay with that, and Kunkel said they would. Weidt said he would have no problem recommending approval of the site plan since the Commission would still have the opportunity to review the screening plan. Bailly said she was fine with approving it but thought it would be nice to have something to break up the look of the wall. McRoberts made motion, Kleissler seconded, to recommend approval of the site plan subject to the conditions in the resolution. All Ayes. Motion carried. Jim Kellison Sketch Plan for Minor Subdivision The Commission considered the application of Jim Kellison, 4394 129th Street North, for sketch plan review for 4.9 acres of property located at the northeast corner of 129th Street and Elmcrest Avenue. The CDD explained that the applicant currently resided on the property. The sketch plan showed that the existing house would be removed from the site, and the property would be divided into three lots. Development of the site would require connections to municipal utilities. He explained that sanitary sewer and water service was available within several hundred feet of the property and the utilities would need to be extended to the property, and through the property to allow for future service to properties to the north. This issue had been reviewed in the past by the City as outlined in the 1291h Street Feasibility Study. The applicant Jim Kellison said there were many properties along the north end of Bald Eagle Lake that were improperly served by individual septic systems and there were environmental reasons for the properties to be served by municipal sewer and water. He indicated that Lino Lakes would benefit by the paving of the road, and he felt there should be come cost sharing.
