PC Meeting, March 25, 1998 - Page 3 Adjacent property owner, Quentin Marier, stated he is not happy with the unresolved street issue as he has signed papers agreeing to a study on property owned by him and his brother, Joseph Marier. Their plans for development will be contingent upon what the City is going to allow for streets. Kellison, referring to the proposed Oneka Lake View drawings, felt that the street plan would be permissible under a PUD but did not think that it would meet the 30' setback, making eight (8) or nine (9) buildings nonconforming. There was much discussion regarding roads, driveways, and possible landlocked property. Motion was made by Kellison, and seconded by Peltier, to table the discussion and extend action 120 days. Additional information is requested from the developer regarding the following: 1) Minimum first floor elevation and compliance with regulatory flood protection elevation 2) Intention to change from eight (8) units to four (4) units 3) Issues regarding water pressure 4) Impact on road development in the area All AYES. Motion carried Reauest for PUD (Wauehs Preserve Edward and Grace Waugh, 14032 Flay Avenue, and Scott Montgomery, 4910 Highway 61, White Bear Lake, have requested to develop 16 twinhomes and 46 townhomes on approximately 11 acres of property, owned by the Waughs, behind Nadeau's Market, in the southeast corner of Highway 61 and County Road 8. The present zoning classification of the property is retail business. Since the application was not filed until March 16, 1998, adequate notice could not be provided for a public hearing at this evening's meeting. The City Administrator recommended the Planning Commission take public comment on the proposed development, but felt they should table action on the application and the hearing until the Planning Commission meeting on April 22, 1998, to allow for legal publication and time for staff review of the proposed project. Peltier opened the meeting for comments. Warren Olson, Site Planner, presented the preliminary plat to the Council. Schumann asked if the units would all be individually owned. Paul Keleher, Project Manager, assured him that they would all be owner occupied, no rental units. There was discussion among Keleher, Olson, and Council members regarding Road access to T.H. 61, traffic problems with Nadeaus, and effect on adjacent wetlands. Olson stated that they would work with Nadeaus to connect the road with their parking lot as Washington County wishes them to do so, and Nadeaus was in agreement with that. Keleher spoke of the possible purchase of the Charpentier property which has driveway access to T.H. 61 There was mention of temporary connection with T.H. 61 and a future frontage road in the area. Joe Monno, 5773 Egg Lake Road, is concerned with the drainage in the area and how it will affect the ditch. Pam Monno, 5773 Egg Lake Road, wanted clarification on where the road would be connecting to County 8 as she is concerned with the wildlife in the area. Monno would like to keep the aesthetically pleasing "woodsy" look.
