Planning Commission Minutes — December 22, 2005 Page 2 Wilderness View 211d Addition - Rezoning to PUD, PUD General Plan, and Preliminary Plat The Commission held a public hearing to consider the application TJ Land Trust V, 3101 Old Highway 8, Roseville, for a Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan for "Wilderness View 2nd Addition" consisting of 62 single family homes and 4 outlots on 98.57 acres located west of Goodview Avenue and south of 130th Street. The Planner explained that the plan before them showed fewer lots than the concept plan reviewed by the Commission in September, which consisted of 67 units. At that meeting the Commission had commented that they saw nothing that was special or unique that would justify a PUD. Other concerns were lots encroaching into the pipeline easement and the importance of the trail connection within this project to connect Goodview Avenue to Beaver Ponds Park. An outlot showed on the plan would be further platted at the time the property owner, Kevin Peltier, constructed his future home. The Planner pointed out issues the City had with the development. The plan showed varying front setbacks which would not be verified by the City at the time the building permit was pulled. It would need to be the developer's responsibility to ensure the proper setbacks were met. The plan also showed four flag lots shown which the City discouraged because it isolated the lots. The plan showed lots and landscaping within the pipeline easement and there were issues with the trail and related wetland impacts. The wetland delineation report was submitted to the City and would go to the Technical Evaluation Panel in the spring. Staff needed to work more with the developer on sewer and water issues. Other issues were the road stubbed to the north that was on a property/section line and the sight visibility on the connection to Goodview Avenue. Schumann asked the developers to address some of the issues. Sam Ashkar, T.J. Land Trust, spoke about the safety of the cell tower and indicated they were going to a 175' clearance. He explained that the HOA covenants would cover what is and isn't permitted in the easement. Mark Kretschmer, Passe Engineering, showed the profile of Goodview Avenue and the connecting street and said the access to the development would be at the crest of the curve in the road and should not pose a problem. Ashkar pointed out the aesthetics of the development which were the island at the entrance and the coving that would provide views. There would be community lawn care and sprinklers for each house and landscaping that would bring continuity to the development. They were looking for relaxation on the setbacks and flag lots. He explained that they were deliberately stubbing the road to the north centered on the property line to allow cooperation between the two landowners for future development. To shift the road to the east, some of the lots would be narrower. He indicated that they intended to work with Koch Pipeline and Kevin Peltier on the trail and Peltier commented from the audience that he agreed to work with the developers.
