Planning Commission Minutes — November 18, 2004 Milo Gaul, 6122 150th Street North, asked if there were any plans regarding the parcel to the north of the proposed Generation Acres development. The City had not received any plans for that site but Gaul was informed that it was zoned the same as the proposed plat. Gaul also asked the difference between public and private roads and what was involved in changing a road from private to public. Schumann explained that because the roads were constructed differently and maintained differently, the City would need to decide if they wanted to maintain the road prior to changing it from private to public. Marvin Koop, 6106 150th Street North, asked if there were any plans to relieve the traffic problems on 147th Street. Chair Schumann explained that if the properties to the north develop, there would be another outlet to Highway 61. The City is continually applying to MNDOT for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Highway 61 and 147th Street North. Schumann explained that if the proposed development met all the standards of the ordinance, the City had no legal right to deny it. Chair Schumann recessed the public hearing until December 9, 2004. Tim Thone, owner of the property to the north of the proposed Generation Acres, said he was working on a wetland delineation plan for the property and would be submitting an application for a multi -family development. Malaski made motion, Bailly seconded, to table the application for Generation Acres as requested by the applicant. All Ayes. Motion carried. O'Shea's Irish Ridge Preliminary Plat The Commission held a public hearing to consider the application of Stephen Shea, 2200 Arcade Street, Maplewood, for a preliminary plat to be known as O'Shea's Irish Ridge. The plat consists of four single-family lots on 41.83 -acres located west of Irish Avenue North and south of 155th Street North. The property is zoned Agricultural. The Planner explained that all the lots would meet the lot size requirement of ten acres and the road frontage requirement of 300 feet. Setbacks, landscaping, septic permits, road right-of-way, trail easements and other conditions of approval were discussed. Chair Schumann opened the public hearing. Jeff Hughes from Wild Wings Game Farm, 9491 152nd Street North was concerned about the 500 feet setback and the noise from the hunting club. Hughes wanted potential buyers to be made aware of the club's existence.
