e e e Arden lJ;ilIs flal1nin~ Commission - March 3. 1999 ~~~~l 7 pump station would be needed. Ms. Randall stated that the utilities do not have to go straight through the property. She indicated there would be one lot that could not feed off of Lexington A venue, as there is no sewer in place. This will also occur with lot two, which would require an easement through lot three. This situation would not improve with the utilities going straight through. There is' a temporary agreement between the City and the property owner for a private sewer in the public right-of-way. This would be eliminated if the utilities were to be relocated to go straight through. Acting Chair Nelson asked if the Bachman property owner had reviewed Options A and B. Ms. Randall stated that their attorney had been given a copy of these options. Acting Chair Nelson asked if there had been any feed back. Ms. Randall stated that there had not been. Acting Chair Nelson asked if there had been feed back from Josephine East LLC. Ms. Randall stated that they preferred option B. Acting Chair Nelson asked if there had been substantial objections to Option A. Mr. Rekuski stated that there are. He indicated that he had met with Ms. Randall and had chosen Option B. If an easement between the two cul-de-sacs is required for a possible future through street, Mr. Rekuski stated that he would be agreeable to this. Commissioner Baker confirmed that this easement could be for a pedestrian trail and emergency access. Mr. Rekuski stated that the easement could be for whatever use the City may choose. Mr. Everlz stated. that one problem with Option A is that parcel three would lose 2,665 square feet which is a great deal ofland to give up. Option B would reduce other parcels by only 665 square feet and 506 square feet. Acting Chair Nelson asked, with the cul-de-sacs being back-to-back on Option A, how close would the two cul-de-sacs be. Ms. Randall stated that there would be an approximate 22-foot buffer between the two cul-de-sacs. The size of this buffer would be dependent upon how centered the cul-de-sacs are. With the 50-foot radius, there would be a 20-foot buffer if the cul- de-sacs were perfectly centered. Commissioner Galatowitsch commented that this buffer distance is very close and a vehicle could cross over between the two cul-de-sacs. Commissioner Duchenes asked, if the Planning Commission were to chose Option A, would the south side of the northern cul-de-sac be platted now. Ms. Randall stated that Staff would recommend that the property for this cul-de-sac on the Josephine Property be platted and dedicated to the City at the time of development. In the future, if Mr. Bachman were to decide to develop his property, the City would then acquire the rest of the cul-de-sac property. Commissioner Baker asked what the response to this application had been from the Public Works Department. Ms. Randall stated that the Public Works Department prefers the straight through alignment. Commissioner Baker asked if the Public Works Department had any preferences for either Option A or B. Ms. Randall stated that they did not. She indicated that their major concern had been that the radius of the cul-de-sac be up to the City Code. Commissioner Baker indicated that he lives on a cul-de-sac and suggested that with only 50 feet of pavement the school buses will be required to back up in order to get around the cul-de-sac
