SPECIAL USE PERMIT (ONEKA LAKE VIEW SOUTH) Based on Council direction during their meeting of June 7, 1999, the Council reviewed a draft SUP for construction of three twinhomes (six units) as part of the Oneka Lake View South subdivision. In addition to approval of the SUP, the developers are requesting approval of the preliminary plat for the subdivision.

Councilman Haas did not feel that the developer has provided 15% open space as required in PUD developments. The Council then questioned how many single family units could be constructed, but was not able to make a determination because the plat provided them did not have a scale. Petryk made motion, Barnes seconded, to table this request until such time as the developer has answered concerns raised by the Council. All aye. Motion Carried.

TOWNHOMES OF BALD EAGLE LAKE (CONCEPT APPROVAL) Council consideration of a concept proposed by Royal Oaks Realty for the development of approximately 40 acres of property near the City's south water tower into the subdivision to be known as Town Homes of Bald Eagle Lake was tabled at the regular Council meeting of May 17, 1999. A lengthy discussion continued after a revised sketch plan was submitted reducing the development from 194 to 185 units. Council members Petryk and Haas felt that the project was inadequate in that there was no provision for a park; recreational open space did not meet the 15% area requirement; development was too dense; and the desirability of private roads versus public. Mike Black, representing Royal Oaks Realty, again stated his desire to obtain concept approval from the Council, and their plans to appear before the Planning Commission at their July, 1999 meeting with a request for preliminary plat approval. Leroux made motion, Barnes seconded, to approve the concept for the Townhomes of Bald Eagle Lake as presented by Royal Oaks Realty, subject to the developer clarification of issues regarding open space, roads, and density.
