P.C. Minutes - Oct. 26, 1988 <br />Page 5 <br />regarding the length of cul-de-sacs (600' max.) permitted <br />in subdivision <br />developments. A public hearing has been scheduled for <br />this evening to <br />secure input regarding this property located in the southwest <br />1/4 of the <br />northeast 1/4 in the southeast 1/4 of the northwest 1/4 <br />of Section 35, <br />T31N, R21W. The lots appear to meet theminimum lot size, <br />lot width, and <br />accommodate building setbacks. Aspen Investment Co. <br />is also requesting <br />that they [p[t be required to install curb and gutter <br />in the development. <br />If the planning commission acts to recommend approval <br />of this subdivision <br />we would suggest that said recommendation be subject <br />to special <br />conditions. <br />Mr. Huber stated that the city engineer was concerned about the roadway <br />design. The city engineer has requested that a preliminary road design be <br />submitted to him for review. <br />Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. Mr. Dennis Weiman <br />inquired whether the location of road on the plat was precise and stated <br />that he would like to see the proposed roadway adjoing Irish Ave. at a <br />location directly between the two houses that currently face the proposed <br />roadway. Other residents shared concerns regarding the location of the <br />proposed roadway at its intersection with Irish Ave. and that it could <br />create a hazard because of the grade on Irish and the increased traffic on <br />the road. Mr. J. Guthrie wondered of the cul de sac on the north border <br />of the property would provide access to his property on the north. Mr. <br />Huber stated the roadway is public but does not necessarily open his <br />property for development. <br />Commissioner Barnes stated that the Irish Ave. hill would be addressed by <br />the city engineer and grades in that area may be changed. Ms. Barnes <br />would like to see plans for the extension of the roadway to the north. <br />Dick Senkler inquired whether the watershed district would address private <br />driveways over the wetlands area. Mr. Senkler stated the city would rely <br />on the recommendation of the city engineer regarding the issue of concrete <br />curb and gutter. Mr. George Gotwald stated they would provide the <br />necessary changes to allow for the extension of the roadway to the north. <br />Motion made by Barnes, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the <br />Country View Acres preliminary plat subject to the following special <br />conditions: <br />1. The preliminary plat be submitted to the city council within 90 days <br />of the commission's recommendation and the revised plat incorporate <br />the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and <br />other governmental agencies. <br />2. The preliminary plat will not be submitted to the council until all <br />legal, engineering, and staff recommendations have been incorporated <br />into the plat. <br />3. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant <br />including the cost of recording documents with Washington County. <br />4. Developer pay fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of final <br />plat approval. <br />5. All street improvements shall be installed as per city design <br />requirements and the cost of all on site improvements be borne by the <br />developer. <br />6.
