Planning and Zoning Meeting January 7, 1997 Tourville asked "Was Royal Oaks was requesting R-2 Single Family rezoning?" Mr. Black said yes. Tourville asked if there is a building pad on each lot including the smallest lot. Mr. Black said yes there is a building pad on each lot and 15,000 square feet is the smallest lot. Tourville confirmed the three accesses; two off County Road 14 and one off Centerville Road. Mr. Black explained if guard rails are requested from the city there will be one on the north entrance exiting off County Road 14. LaMotte asked what would happen with the shrubs and trees. Mr. Black said the majority of the shrubs and trees will remain. Royal Oaks felt preserving the atmosphere would lend to the development. LaMotte questioned the Centerville Elementary Schools drainage. Mr. Black mentioned a portion of the drainage will be flowing on Lots 7,8,9 and 10. Mr. Black has been in contact with Bill Martin and Gary Korpella at the school and RCWD. Royal Oaks is happy to work with the school on the drainage issues. Although the majority of the ponding is on the school property, Mr. Black was not sure ifRCWD will allow ponding in wetlands. LaMotte suggested placing a fence along the pond area to keep kids out. Mr. Kytonen mentioned the ponds are very shallow. Mr. Black mentioned the lowest floor elevations will be two feet above the flood plain. Tourville questioned the trailway to the school. Mr. Black said the trailway will be a 15 feet wide and 140 feet along the trail right of way to the school. If the city would prefer something else Royal Oaks is happy to discuss it. Although Mr. Behrind, Mr. Martin and Mr. Korpella from the school have seen the plans and were comfortable with the trail leading to the ballfields. Tourville asked if the school was against a through road. Mr. Black understood the school was not in favor of a through road. Whereas, the Fire and Police departments were in favor of the road going through. Mayor Wilharber commented the city could have the developers put in sidewalks. March commented sidewalks could be included in the developers agreement. Tourville asked "What is to keep motorized vehicles or bikes from driving on the sidewalk?" Mr. Bill Lalonde of 1687 Westview Street, felt it depends how the city address the sidewalks. Tim Schweppe of 7249 Centerville Road, questioned the distance between the development and the north side abutting properties. Mr. Black said it will be a minimal of 30 feet but it could be 50 - 60 feet in distance. Mr. Schweppe asked about drainage. Mr. Kytonen said they could install a berm and redirect the flow of water. Mr. Schweppe asked "What will happen with the row of pines and the other trees which run along the wetlands?" Mr. Black said the trees will stay, unless the lot purchaser wishes to move their house in that area. 2 ..... ~".
