P.C. Meeting, April 22, 1998 - Page 3 Due to MN DOT constraints, there would be only one access off TH61, which would be widened with acceleration and deceleration lanes. The County has recognized the entrance over the trail as an existing crossing. The entrance would be doublewide with a median. All lots would have public utilities. Ron Rossel, 155044 Forest Boulevard, wondered why they would dig a hole on outlot B, which is already on level ground, and also expressed concerns of roads ending near his property, saying it could not be cul- de-saced without diminishing adjoining lot sizes. Aplikowski asked where the sewer would go in relation to his property. The City Administrator replied that it could be serviced by this main, but there were no plans as of yet. Schumann asked what the time line was on utilities. Shopek said the would like to start grading in May and hopefully get in sewer and water my mid -summer. Kellision expressed concern of the length of the cul-de-sac road being greater than the allowed 600'. A resident asked what the price range on the homes would be and was told it would be in the range of 170's - 180's. Shopek asked if cash in lieu of parkland dedication would be a problem. The City Administrator stated it would be in accordance with the City's Park Plan. Kellison suggested reducing the road length to 600 feet on temporary cul-de-sacs until roads go through Shopek would like to join efforts with the City to persuade MN DOT to allow two accesses into the development off TH61. The proximity of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park to the development was discussed and it was determined that it was far enough away and did not warrant screening., Kellison make motion, Harrison seconded, to approve the development subject to conditions and recommendation found on the revised Findings of Fact. All Ayes. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION (ONEKA LAKE VIEW) Marvin and Yvonne Christianson, 6178 Oneka Lake Boulevard, and North Suburban Development, Inc., 1333 Osborne Road, Spring Lake Park, requested to subdivide by Planned Unit Development 20.9 acres into 95 townhome sites. Bill and John Gleason, Eagle Crest NW, presented their plan to build four unit buildings with five units per acre, which they feel would be affordable as senior housing. The main road would not be a City road but would be a 7 ton street with driveways that would come off that. Streets would be owned by the association and association fees would take care of lawns, exterior upkeep, and garbage. Schumann encouraged questions/comments from the public. Ron Gray, 6275 Oneka Lake Blvd., felt these units would be acceptable in the area but would like to see a cul-de-sac to restrict access to Oneka Lake Boulevard. Joe Marier, 5566 145th Street, would like to see the roads coordinate with other property owners' plans for the area.
