KENCO CONSTRUCTION/PUD
Kenco Construction, Inc. has requested a subdivision for a Planned Unit
Development, Rice Lake Meadows 4th Addition. The property is 8.5 acres in
size and five single family dwellings are proposed. Adjacent property is
zoned RRI on the south and west, SFU on the north and east. The proposed
PUD is on the east side of Egg Lake. The development will be served by
municipal water and sewer.
Jim Merila and Kent Roessler, representing Kenco Construction were in
attendance. Mr. Merila stated that the houses would be located on that
portion of the property which is included in the MUSA. The proposed homes
are an average distance of 500 feet from the shoreline of Egg Lake.
Aquatic Equal Solution was hired by Merila to provide the wetland
delineation for the proposed subdivision.
The public hearing was called to order. Numerous residents expessed their
dissatisfaction with their Kenco homes, stating that Mr. Roessler should
satisfy his existing customers before constructing additional homes. Mr.
Roessler stated he would buy back any residence at construction cost which
people are unhappy with. One resident stated that hazardous waste was
buried in the area of Rice Lake Meadows Subdivision. Cary Weisner
requested that Kenco narrow his driveway so it doesn't look like the
roadway. Mr. Roessler agreed to reconstruct the driveway entrance to make
it appear more like a private driveway.
Administrator Museus stated that reports from the city engineer, DNR, and
Rice Creek Watershed District have not been received.
Planning Commissioners requested that the following issues be addressed by
the city engineer, DNR, and/or Rice Creek Watershed; existing water and
drainage problems, wetland delineation, ordinary highwater mark of Egg
Lake, provide a plat drawing showing Rice Lake Meadows 1, 2, 3, and 4, and
parkland for the subdivision.
