Page 2 The property owner to the north asked if utilities would be installed up to their property. Staff stated that water and sewer would be installed up to their property, but a lift station would need to be installed to the north to serve the properties with sanitary sewer. There was a resident that had concerns about traffic along Oneka Parkway and Elmcrest Avenue with the addition of the development. Staff stated that the roads can handle the additional traffic. The Planning Commission stated that they generally liked the proposed development. One Commissioner stated that they thought the development would fit in with the surrounding neighborhoods. One Commissioner stated they would like to see the developer put more bends in the roads to break up the long row of homes and provide additional buffers and transitions to adjacent properties. The Commission liked the preservation of natural resources and utilizing a portion of the development as public open space. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council of the Oneka Place development, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions. 2.
