Planning Commission Meeting June 27, 2001- page 5 Kleissler said it was an interesting concept but the 35 foot minimum lot width was too small. The developers said that 35' was the minimum for cottages homes in the PUD; however, they currently proposed to have 55' lot widths. Rooney said he felt the road widths were not clearly stated, and he would like to have seen more berming to shield the property from the industrial park to the west. Pratt explained the home and garages were laid out in such a way that the garages would create a buffer as well as the proposed landscaping. Schumann approved of the preliminary plat but said there were details that needed to be addressed in the final plat. Malaski made motion, Kleissler seconded, to recommend approval of the preliminary plat to be known as Victor Gardens, Phase 1, subject to the conditions provided in the draft resolution, with the provision that a landscape plan is submitted and approved for the final plat. Ayes: Kleissler, Malaski, Schumann Nay: Rooney Motion carried. Pratt thanked the Planning Commission and City for their support. Rezoning to Multi -Family and Site Plan for Pineview Meadows 2"d Addition The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of Sedona Homes, Inc., 4910 Highway 61, White Bear Lake for rezoning and preliminary plat for Pineview Meadows Second Addition located south of Co. Rd. 8A and east of Highway 61, directly south of the existing Pineview Meadows Development. Sedona Homes is requesting to rezone from Urban Residential to Multi -Family Residential and requesting preliminary plat approval for 66 townhome lots at a net density of 7.5 units per acre. Staff had found that the City's sewer, water, and transportation system could accommodate the increase in density that would result from the proposed rezoning. Staff also found that the proposed multi -family zoning development would help the City achieve its housing goals. Paul Keleher and Scott Montgomery from Sedona Homes were present at the meeting to answer questions. Rooney was concerned about the overflow parking and described the street parking as haphazard. Keleher said "No Parking" signs were being erected. Schumann opened the public hearing. Matt Langer, 13920 Flay Avenue, who lives in Pineview Meadows, was concerned about the amount of traffic on Flay Avenue. Troy Charpentier, 13825 Forest Boulevard, wants signs posted on their private drive identifying it as such. The )rivate drive is to be used as an emergency access only, with a gate across it. Montgomery said they hoped 'ineView Meadows Second Addition would some day be connected to 137`h Street to the south.
