Planning Commission Meeting November 14, 2002- page 6 Schumann asked that they put the higher quality houses along the east border of the development. Griswold offered moving the path to the west, which would allow enough trees to remain to create a buffer. He said they could realign the street to move it over to the west approximately 40 feet and this would leave approximately 200 -foot lots. Kleissler acknowledged the value of the school property and asked what the process was regarding the school, and the CD Director said it would be deeded to the City. Kleissler was also concerned about the traffic flow and said that when considering stop signs, it should be taken into consideration how many streets children would need to cross to get to school. Bailly asked about the back of the homes along the parkway and if there were to be standards on the height and types of fencing allowed. Griswold responded saying there would be landscaping and berming along the parkway. Schumann asked that the grading plan be carefully considered to ensure there would be no water problems. Rosenquist made motion, Peltier seconded, to recommend approval of the resolution approving the preliminary plat and PUD General plan for Waters Edge North with the condition that they move the road in the northeast corner of the development to the west, remove trail between the homes in Creekview Preserve Development and Waters Edge Development and run it along the road to the west, and blacktop the temporary road prior to the issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy in the Waters Edge North development. Ayes: Bailly, Kleissler, Malaski, Peltier, Rosenquist, Schumann Nays: McRoberts Motion Carried. Sketch Plan — Heritage Development for Lakeview Estates Heritage Development, 422 East County Road D, Little Canada, appeared before the Planning Commission to solicit informal comments on a sketch plan for a proposed housing development. The development would be located north of 122"d Street and east of Ethan Avenue on 12 acres of land and would consist of 10 new lots plus a lot for the existing single family home. The applicant is proposing to develop the property as a PUD to allow smaller lots. The lots would range in size from 0.68 to 1.18 acres. The development would include one outlot that would serve as common open space. Under the existing R-1 zoning, the applicant could plat nine lots on the property that meet the minimum ordinance requirements. In order to plat these lots, the applicant would need to construct a road along the east property line. This road would adjoin the lots in the Lake Air Estates Subdivision. By creating a road along the common lot line, the properties in Lake Air Estates development would front on two streets — the proposed street and Europa Avenue.
