Ayes: Kleissler, Peltier, Rosenquist, Schumann Nays: Malaski, McRoberts, Rooney Motion carried. Concept Plan -Kevin Peliter Property (Scott Montgomery & Paul Keleher) Sedona Homes appeared before the Planning Commission to solicit informal comments on a sketch plan for a proposed development on the Kevin Peltier property, which would include 55 single-family homes and 35 townhome units. The property is located south of 1301h Street and west of Goodview and zoned Urban Residential, which allows 10,400 square foot lots and up to six -units per acre through a PUD. The property is approximately 104.3 acres in size and contains a large amount of wetland as well as a cellular tower and pipeline easement, which the Planning Commission agreed made this parcel difficult to develop. The Planning Commission reviewed the plat and provided their comments. Specifically, the Commission stated that the developer should show more creativity if they wished to develop the property as a Planned Unit Development. Further, Rosenquist stated that he was concerned that the only road into the development would cross a pipeline easement. Lastly, the Commission stated that homes should meet the required setbacks from the tower.
