July 8, 2021 PC Minutes <br />Page 2 <br />neighboring property owners that they would like to participate in the public improvement project, <br />which is contingent upon the development receiving final approval and City Council approval. <br />Staff found that the applications meet all requirements necessary for approval and recommended that <br />the Planning Commission approve the requests. Staff also recommended that the Planning Commission <br />open the public hearing and take all public comment. <br />Laura Drengson came forward on behalf of the development team and addressed the Planning <br />Commission. Dan May was also present on behalf of Dengson May Enterprises, LLC. <br />Chair Kleissler opened the public hearing at 7:31pm. <br />Barbara Proulx, 5043 124th Street Court North —The resident stated that there are 14 contingencies <br />within the resolutions proposed for approval and she feels that the proposal is not ready for approval. <br />Richard Degnan, 12160 Falcon Avenue North —The resident does not object to the development but <br />feels like the development is not ready for approval. The resident had provided drawings to staff and <br />the developer prior to the public hearing, which had also been provided to the Planning Commission. <br />The resident does not agree with the drainage plan and would like to see the stormwater ponds <br />relocated on the site. <br />Mike Proulx, 5043 124th Street Court North —The resident stated that they had concerns on the level of <br />privacy surrounding the development and the drainage plan. The resident stated that he doubts the <br />City will maintain the stormwater ponds and that maintenance is costly. They also showed a copy of <br />the 1994 drainage report that was created with Lake Air Estates. <br />Tom Sorenson, 5049 124th Street Court North —The resident stated that he is in favor of the large lot <br />zoning requirements. They stated that the existing property is in a natural state and the tree removal <br />plan is devastating to the surrounding area. He has concerns with the perimeter moat being at the <br />same elevation as the infiltration basin and wetlands. They stated that the grading cannot disturb the <br />existing trees on adjacent property. The resident does not think that the plans are ready for approval <br />Teresa Sorenson, 5049 124th Street Court North —The resident is concerned about the trees on her <br />property and stated that they have to stay as part of her buffer to the proposed development. She <br />feels like the plans are incomplete and would like to see concrete plans. <br />Jolene Servatius, 12270 Europa Ave N — The resident stated that there has been drainage problems on <br />their property since they moved in 30 years ago. The drainage system has been inadequate since it was <br />designed. The resident also stated that she has read studies that state that ground water rises when <br />trees are cleared. They would like assurance that the drainage plan with the proposed development <br />will not impact the drainage of the Lake Air Estates in any way. <br />Judy Schoeller, 4995 121St Street North —The resident stated that they are not upset about the <br />development but that the drainage needs to be addressed. <br />
