Planning Commission Meeting <br />Page Three <br />Residential: The subject came up for a twin home having maximum 2000 <br />square feet of space. Is that a firm number? It was answered that 2100 square <br />feet was the maximum. The 2000 square feet would include an attached garage, <br />and the 2100 square feet would be on the first floor. Nothing is firm at this point. <br />PUD: Another question was asked regarding parcels of land. Is a PUD required <br />for part of the parcel or if wanted the whole parcel, would another PUD have to <br />be required? Trevor stated that the procedure for the PUD has to be done for <br />any construction. A PUD will be decided on parcel to parcel basis. Trevor will <br />make the generic description a little more responsive, the plan a little more <br />responsive. <br />Sewer Properties: The Metropolitan Council is giving the guidelines of sewer <br />properties of single family homes on one third acre lots. Three houses per acre. <br />The single family thatch house in Gem Lake is on a one half acre lot. Gem Lake <br />doesn't have much senior housing. It was bought up if a parcel can be added for <br />senior living? How do we satisfy the Metropolitan Council? Chairman Rafferty <br />replied that they are looking for that density to come transitionally. Trevor <br />brought up the subject of senior housing and senior assisted living. That is <br />something that can be addressed and looked at as an incentive program. The <br />western parcel on County Road E might be a problem due to the placement of <br />the trees. English Street is the only way to parallel a street to get into that parcel. <br />The trees would need to be taken out and to do this; they would have to work. <br />with the County on that parcel. <br />Further Discussion on May 19, 2009: The meeting on May 19, 2009 will be a <br />City Council meeting and the City Council will discuss the plan.
