Planning Commission Meeting May 22, 2000- page 4 approximately 59 acres east of Goodview Avenue in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The City Planner presented the plat to the Commission. Schumann opened the public hearing. Mike Gair, Land Planning and Site Design; Mike Quigly, Project Manager; and Larry Olson, Civil Engineer from Emmerich Development, were present at the meeting. Gair explained that MUSA services were available for the eastern portion of the site, and that they have secured the property to the west, which made it financially and technically possible to develop the property. Gair explained the phasing of the project, saying they would work on water management issues, reconstruction of the road, and earth movement prior to construction of the homes. John Waller, 14010 Homestead Avenue North, was there representing his mother Margaret Waller, 14310 Homestead Avenue North. Waller said they felt the project was premature because no one has discussed the ditch issue. The Wallers were concerned that additional homes would increase runoff due to more impervious surface. Florence Meyer, 6358 145th Street North, said she felt it was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan because the plan states the Urban Reserve District would not be developed until 2015. Meyer was concerned about the increase in traffic on 145th Street North during the time Goodview would be under reconstruction. She was also concerned that the wildlife would be disturbed. Dean Zerwas, 6732 Egg Lake Road, asked if sewer and water would be installed along Goodview Avenue when the street was improved. The Community Development Director said that the sewer is scheduled to go north from the development site, and the sewer is to go to the south for the properties south of the site. Jim Anderson, 6191 144th Street North, was concerned about the amount of traffic that would be directed to 147th Street North. Mark Mathias, 6131 144th Street North, said he moved to Hugo three years ago and was not happy with the potential increase in noise and pollution. Marshall Langemo, 6151 144th Street North, asked if they had given any consideration to extending Goodview Avenue to the north. The Commission discussed the construction traffic that would travel through the residential area. Waller commented on the dangerous intersection of CSAH 8 and Goodview Avenue North.
