get handled privately and the City certainly wants to work with this owner too. Tfthe City chooses to change the land use on the Kebr property and rezone it and the adjacent owners choose to stay and maintain their single family use, consideration must be given to screening and buffering between the two uses. The point in this discussion is simply that the attention and conunitment to screening and landscaping between these uses should be evaluated in the context of the expected time frame for the conversion of the adjacent lots. . Em!ineerine: Considerations 1. The sketch plan that is attached assumes that ponding will be provided off this site. The previous plans assumed that a portion of the site would have to be used for stonn water detention. Detailed plans have not been prepared for this off-site ponding and it will have to be approved by the Grass Lake Water Management Organization and the MnDNR We advise against taking much time on tillS issue at tIus point. If ponding is required on the site, the plans will need to be revised and the density will be reduced. These questions can only be resolved after detailed engineering design has been completed and pennits are submitted and reviewed. Plannine Commission Recommendation: 1. The Planning Commission recommended a change in tile comprehensive plan designation for the Kehr property located at 674 W. County Road C from low density residential to medium density residential with all property located from the west border of the Kehr property with the north border being County Road C, the east border being Dale Street, and Central Park being the south border. Further, a condition be placed pending approval that any rezoning will be done only with a planned unit development and that all land trom the American Legíon driveway to Dale Street must filllction as one functional neighborhood design. it is assumed that the property east ofKebr's project will be heard at a separate public hearing at the next available date. Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation: The consideration of this development has been delayed since December of 1992 pending the completion of work on VISTA 2000 and the Comprehensive Plan. The land owner has been patient during this time and has watched wile another project within the market area has been approved (Good Value Homes) and other reviewed. We feel that we have a better perspective to evaluate this proposal now and we recommend that the City COlIDCil give Mr. r1.lL.Q..\,.Il111JvllL-. ..LJ"'''~'''..1 .L.lV.J..U u.""'J.....""'......I.-U, ....L.....~bl.L....v... ~_~b."."w.-v.&.u-
