Planning Commission Minutes — December 22, 2005 Page 6 McRoberts suggested doing something creative with the open space that would be created with eliminating some of the lots. Weidt noted that the Parks Commission had always referred to the trail connection that was part of Wilderness View. There was an easement there and the trail needed to go there. He also said he felt the flag lots would be hard to police and enforce. McRoberts made motion, Weidt seconded, to table the application to allow the developer to address several issues. All Ayes. Motion Carried. Wilderness View Yd Addition Concept Plan The Commission considered the Concept plan for Wilderness View 3rd Addition submitted by Hub Management Company, Inc., 3050 Echo Lake Avenue, Mahtomedi. The plan consisted of 52 single family homes on 19.69 acres east of Highway 61 and north and north of 125th Street. This development would be directly south of Beaver Ponds, and a portion of a drainage pond would encroach onto the outlot previously discuss with the Wilderness View 2nd PUD The Planner presented the plan to the Commission and recommended they review and discuss the sketch plan and provide the applicant with informal comments. Schumann said the issue of the drainage on the outlot in the proposed Wilderness View 2nd underscored the need to have issued resolved with Kevin Peliter. He questioned whether there was enough room to construct a roundabout in the 3rd Addition. The Planner said the engineer would need to look at it. Schumann commented that with the increase in the number of the home, the City should be getting close to being able to receive funding for a stop light at 130th Street North. Bryan pointed out that the 3rd Addition would provide another access to Highway 61 from 125th Street. McRoberts noted that they were not requesting a rezoning and questioned whether there was anything that did not comply and what the value of the homes would be. The Planner said the off site pond was an issue as well as the infrastructure. Gary Mulchay, property owner, said many lots would border the golf course and the outlot and the homes would range in price from approximately $400,000 to $500,000. Schumann asked what their time line was on this development. Mulchay said there were big engineering issues involved.
