Some in favor of and some against. Mr. March stated that <br /> three areas concerned him with the plans submitted. Mr. March also stated that <br /> Centerville Road, as the developer indicated, is capable of handling 7,000 to 8,000 trips <br /> per day. However, it currently is handling that many trips and the developer would need <br /> to speak to Anoka County to receive a permit to access Centerville Road from the <br /> development. Mr. March stated that the developer had indicated the reason he was <br /> applying for a PUD was to have a variety of lot sizes, and that this is misleading due to <br /> the current City Code that allows for various lot sizes with standard residential platting. <br /> The open space requirement for PUD's has not been met in this case, as the open space is <br /> required to be useable land that is not private Iand. The developer has dedicated a <br /> wetland and space in the backyards of the available lots as open space and that is not <br /> cunently allowed by City Code. <br /> Mr. March submitted a letter from the developer addressing the issues requested by the <br /> City.

Mr. March also informed Ms. Buckbee that it was his understanding <br /> that the City of Lino Lakes had received a similar letter from the Superintendent of <br /> Schools. <br /> Commissioner McLean questioned whether the development was in line with the City's <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Mr. March concurred. <br /> Ms. Lori Peterson, 7065 Dupre Road, expressed her concern that Dupre Road would be a <br /> thoroughfare for traffic going out of the development to Center Street. <br /> Mr. Cooper believed 2/3 of the traffic would flow north to Center Street. <br /> Mr. Wes Schoeberlein, 6906 Centerville Road, expressed several concerns; current <br /> capacity of Centerville Elementary, exit and entry to the development and the amount of <br /> traffic currently and in the future on Centerville Road. Mr. Schoeberlein felt that Center <br /> Street is currently unsafe due to the high volume of traffic and was concerned for <br /> children's safety. <br /> Commissioner Brainerd stated that the development of the property would be coming in <br /> one form or another and suggested that a traffic study be completed to provide the best <br /> and safest access to the development. <br />
