CLEARWATER MEADOWS <br /> PLANNING & ZONING -- JANUARY 9, 1996 <br /> Rockey Goertz, Klosner -Goertz Homes, Inc., appeared before the planning and zoning <br /> commission with a concept plan for Clearwater Meadows. A single family housing <br /> development with 32 homes. <br /> The discussed the wetland mitigation area being used as a sedimentation pond. Mr. <br /> Goertz would like to berm the area butting the commercial zone. This would be <br /> landscaped and used as a buffer zone between the two, this would also be a noise barrier. <br /> Mr. Goertz has started the process with Rice Creek Watershed District and has spoke with <br /> Kate Drury. <br /> The area zoned R -3 is already within the MUSA boundary and was stated that was an area <br /> that may have been missed when completing the zoning map. <br /> The outlots B & C would be deeded over to the property owner that is currently using the <br /> space. This area was no use to Mr. Goertz and as he says, it makes the plat cleaner. <br /> Mr. Goertz described his idea for a trail easement. Because there was not land set aside <br /> for a park, he offered his suggestion for a foot bridge between lots 12 & 13 and lots 23 & <br /> 24. Councilmember Buckbee stated she would be in favor of abridge -it adds charm and <br /> character. Mr. Goertz stated they have looked into many different styles and the cost <br /> would be approximately $20,000. The Planning and Zoning Commission said that the <br /> park dedication and trail system would have to be determined by the Park & Recreation <br /> Committee. <br /> The lots that have the mitigation area in their backyard would have a wetland easement. <br /> Meaning it would be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the area but that <br /> nothing could be built on that area. This would be made know to each buyer and also <br /> written in the title work. <br /> Mr. Goertz stated his motivation for developing in Centerville is because Lino Lakes is <br /> becoming to expensive. Mr. Goertz currently has project in Pheasant Hills, Birchwood <br /> Acres and in Blaine (between 85 & 95 on the west side of the freeway), to name a few. <br /> Mr. Goertz stated the lots would sell for 29,000 - 30,000 and homes would vary from <br /> $115,000 to $150,000. <br /> Discussion of Brian Drive - at the end of the road would need to °T" off or have a <br /> temporary cul -de -sac. <br /> Discussion of utilities: There is water available on Main Street and also behind City Hall. <br /> They would be able to loop the water system through the cul -de -sacs between the same <br /> lots mentioned above for the trail easement. <br /> CLRMM.WPS 1 <br />
