City of CenterviUe November 13, 2002 Council Meeting Minutes Mayor Swedberg explained that the City's Comprehensive Plan is a guide for the development of the City. He then explained that the Buckbee property is an R-1 property which is a rural large piece of property with one house and farm or rural character. He further explained that the request for R-2 is proper in that the City's Comprehensive Plan calls for this piece of property to go into MUSA for 2001 to 2005. Ms. Mary Moran, 1743 Peltier Lake Drive, restated her comments from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. She then said that she is concerned that the road would dam up the water into her backyard because right now the water flows through her backyard. She also said she is concerned that all the trees would be removed for the development and said she would like as many trees to be left as possible. Ms. Moran indicated she was also concerned that the twin homes are too large and do not fit with the rest of the homes in the neighborhood. She further commented that she is concerned about what types of chemicals would be used on the lawns of the townhomes because the runoff flows into the creek and then the lake. Ms. Suzanne Seeley, 1784 Peltier Lake Drive, said she agreed with the previous comments but said her major concern is that 2/3 of the property is bordered by two natural resources, the creek and the lake. She then said that she can see a tremendous difference in algae buildup from three years ago to present and she is concerned that adding more people to that area will further exacerbate the problem. She further commented that she had heard that commercial companies do not have to adhere to the phosphate free fertilizer laws as a regular homeowner does. Ms. Seeley commented that 27 homes would double the density in the area and she would like to see the impact lessened by lowering that number. Mr. Terry Blken, 1701 Peltier Lake Drive, asked why the water had to come down Centerville Road when there is already a hydrant on Peltier Lake Drive and Mill Road. He also said that he has already paid for the road twice and does not want to pay a third time. He further commented that he was concerned with the little section of land at the end of the channel that is not buildable and asked what was planned for it because it is in his backyard. Council Member Capra commented that the plan has not gone before the Parks and Recreation Commission for their consideration and said that would be completed at their meeting in December. Mr. Bill Helin, 1732 Peltier Lake Drive, indicated he was concerned about the water table there and for the outlot by the creek or channel. He then said that he feels it is only asking for trouble and flooded homes to build there. Mr. Roger Shimon, 1751 Peltier Lake Drive, commented that he does not feel that double homes are appropriate and would prefer single-family homes. He then asked what is Page 3 of29 L __
