P. C. Minutes - March 23, 1994 <br />Page 2 <br />7. Wetland to the east - Drainage from the large wetland east of the <br />park will not be blocked off. The ditch draining westerly from <br />Falcon Ave. will be cleaned out, and properly sized sulverts will be <br />installed under Europa Ave. <br />8. Trespassing on private park - Adjacent park was recommended by the <br />City. Developers are willing to share in the cost of installing a <br />fence to protect the private park. <br />9. Noisy pump station - Pumps are relatively quiet when closed. When <br />opened the noise is noticeable. <br />10. EIS or EAW required - EQB sets criteria, with less than 1/2 acre of <br />wetland fill an EAW is not required. <br />11. Fire & police protection - Fire hydrants will be located in the new <br />subdivision. Fire and police will have access from 130th St. <br />12. Excessive use of Exhall and 126th - Again, 130th is proposed as the <br />main access. <br />Many area residents were present in opposition to the proposed Woods of <br />Bald Eagle for all of the reasons stated above. Most residents felt one <br />acre lots should be maintained in the area. <br />Mr. Merila stated that soil borings have been done. The existing drainage <br />problems are created further south. The developers are not claiming to <br />have all RCWD and DNR questions worked out, which is why the tabling was <br />requested. Mr. Merila stated they would be willing to provide a traffic <br />count conducted by an independent agency. <br />The public hearing was closed at 9:40PM. <br />After a very lengthy discussion, a motion was made by Rubenzer, seconded <br />by Peltier to grant the developer's request to table a decision on the <br />rezoning of the property until the April 27, 1994, Planning Commission <br />meeting when additional concerns can be addressed. <br />AYE: Davis, Agness, Schumann, Rubenzer, Peltier <br />NAY: Olson <br />Motion passed. <br />PUBLIC HEARING SUBDIVISION (WHITE BEAR MEAjQWS) <br />Mr. Jack Kornovich, 11499 Martin Street NW, Coon Rapids, MN., has made <br />application to subdivide approximately 21 acres, located in the NE <br />quadrant of 140th Street and Fenway Avenue, into 51 single family <br />residential lots. In addition, he has requested a variance to Hugo City <br />Code, to allow the creation of 10 double -frontage lots along the Metro <br />Waste Control Commission's sewer line. <br />Mr. Fred Hagen, RLK Engineering, stated that Kate Drewry had walked the <br />site and determined that no wetland was present. Action was expected to <br />be taken at the RCWD 2-23-94. Mr. Hagen stated they developer would <br />install bituminous surfacing on 140th St. excluding curb and gutter <br />because of pending changes to the road. The engineers have proposed a 9 <br />ton road. <br />Numerous area residents opposed the development. Concerns were expressed <br />regarding the single access to the site, poor visibility crossing the <br />railroad tracks to Highway 61, additional demand placed on the school <br />
