• <br /> temporary cul -de -sac turn around and another for an emergency vehicle access to the north <br /> property. In addition, no certificate of occupancy (C.O.) will be issued until utilities are available <br /> to the property. Mr. March commented the Travis family may build on the south property which <br /> is 150' off the paved road. Mr. LaMotte questioned Staff if the length of the cul -de -sac is in <br /> compliance with city code. Mr. Nyberg commented the road is too long and the Travis' will need <br /> to seek a variance approval for the length of the road. Also, the Travis family will seek <br /> preliminary plat and the required variance approval during the August 4, meeting. <br /> Mr. Nyberg noted Center Villa plans need to move along or the city will need to address the row <br /> of tree removal along the north property line. <br /> ACTION ITEMS <br /> Action on Lessard Rezone Request <br /> Ms. Broussard- Vickers commented the rezoning issue is a difficult decision to make. Ms. <br /> Broussard - Vickers added, she asked her self what is the Commissions role; who does the <br /> Commission answer to. Moreover, she noted she could not let personal opinions influence the <br /> decision. Ms. Broussard- Vickers touched upon the desire to observe and address the City's needs <br /> as a whole. Likewise, public opinion does not influence the planners decision and she observed <br /> the benefits to the city. During the June meeting, citizens voiced a concern about traffic safety <br /> concerns. However, the revised plan addresses the traffic concerns. Next, the row of trees on the <br /> north property line may be removed and high density housing could be constructed. Again, Mr, <br /> Lessard has made provisions for the proper drainage and his plan allows for a berm and additional <br /> trees to buffer the commercial property from the residential property. Thus, leaving the row of <br /> tress and eliminate high density housing. Ms. Broussard- Vickers commented the commercial <br /> business taxes will benefit the entire city. Another reason was the property was taxed as <br /> commercial for years, until recently when the zoning was changed to residential. Also, Mr. <br /> Lessard has submitted a list of permissible commercial uses, limiting the commercial entities to <br /> more desirable businesses next to a residential zone. Overall, to rezone the property from R3 to <br /> B1 Commercial is good for the City as a whole. <br /> Chair Welk stated it appears the commercial venture abutted proposed lots in Clearwater <br /> Meadows, however, the lots sold. The city would like to pick and choose what goes where but <br /> the rezone is the best decision for the whole city. <br /> Ms Broussard - Vickers moved to recommend the Council aunrove'the Lessard rezone request <br /> fr m to B1 for t llowin re n • the t benefit to the city. traffic is not a concern and <br /> this rezone request allows existing homes a larger distance from their homes to the buildings <br /> where as. hi ensit structures like apartments will not provide the distance luxury, <br /> Furthermore Ms Broussard - Vickers moved to recommend to the Council to rezone the prop <br /> with consideration of the above- mentioned items. And with consideration of all engineering <br /> items (ponding on the south and north edges of the nronerty). Chair Welk seconded the motion <br /> Broussard- Vickers aye Welk aye. LaMotte nay Motion carried. <br /> 4 <br />
