All Ayes. Motion carried. Centex Homes (Clearwater Crossing) The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the application of Centex Homes, 12400 Whitewater Drive, Minnetonka, for preliminary plat, site plan, and a variance for eighteen condominium lots and three outlots on 49.51 acres located west of Fenway Boulevard and north of 132°a Street. The applicant is proposing a total of 122 townhome units on 18 condominium lots. The requested variance would allow five 10 -unit buildings where the ordinance limits townhome buildings to a maximum of eight units per building. The requested variance is from the townhome standards, not the R-5 district standards. Planner Kendra Lindahl presented her report to the Commission and Schumann opened the public hearing. Deb Johnson, 14196 Fenway Avenue, said she didn't want to see any more driveways on Fenway Boulevard because she was concerned for the safety of the users of the bike trail. Johnson also stated concern about the narrowing of the road in the development to 28 feet and the limited amount of guest parking. Betsey Dunn, 13262 Europa Bay North, was concerned about the wetlands to the west of the proposed development.
