Planning Commission October 25, 2018 Page 2 appraisal that the piece of property they are dedicating is valued for more than what they would have to pay, than the Parks Commission is comfortable with allowing the City Council to decide on park- dedication. At the time, the applicant had not provided an acceptable method of evaluation for that parcel so the Parks Commission did not accept the arrangement. Commissioner Tjernland asks whether they can accept or not accept that recommendation from the Parks Commission. Juba answers by saying yes, but there is not enough valid information to make a different recommendation. Bryan Bear clarifies that the Parks Commission is always going to make a recommendation on park dedication in terms of land and fees. That recommendation then goes to the Council. The Planning Commission can recommend whatever they would like, but may want to respect the Parks Commission recommendation. Commissioner Fry asks if there is any concern with the plat changing in the long run in terms of lot size. Juba responds by saying that the PUD and Preliminary Plat is subject to this specific plan. The approval is specific to this plan so they cannot carve out any additional lots. Chair Kleissler gave the applicant the opportunity to address the Planning Commission. Applicant Cheldon Frank comes forward with Todd Erikson, engineer on the project. Frank asks if the Planning Commission has any questions. Chair Kleissler asks Frank to address the Commissions concerns previously stated in presentation. Frank starts by addressing that the goal of the development is to preserve the natural land of the area, which is the first intent of the PUD. The developer intends to create a development with high standards that meets city code and standards. Erikson adds that the Planning Commission recommended that they update lot lines 3 and 4 to move away from the wetland, which they did. They determined that the wetland is groundwater and surface water fed, so they looked at preserving it with respect to both proponents. Chair Kleissler asks if there are any additional questions. Chair Kleissler opens the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. Robert Flick of 7788 125x' St. comes forward to ask if there are plans to move forward with constructing a cul- de-sac at the end of 125' St. or if the road is to remain intact. Dale Daul of 12899 Homestead Dr. N comes forward to talk about a deserted park area at the north end of Homestead Dr. N making Sunset Lake a private lake. He is concerned that there will be a similar problem with the proposed park within the development on the south side of the lake. Dorothy Furlong of 12521 Homestead Dr. N comes forward and states that the lake association currently uses the one acre lot to the south of her property to salvage lake weeds and asks if they will lose the ability to do that if a park is built there.
