Planning Commission MeetingPage of 12 ? redevelopment needs could not be specifically calculated at this time, but evaporation and runoff is taken into account. Chair Boguszewski asked if Mr. Plowe was confident that the 8” drain on Acorn Road would suffice. Mr. Plowe responded that he was confident; and when reviewing the basins and infrastructure, there would continue to be some overflow as there is today, but the intent was not to have a lot of flow go through the 8” infrastructure system, but available to handle a 2year rain event. Mr. Plowe ? opined that the system would prove adequate for shortterm ponding and with smaller storm ? events that would not be much water for any length of time, but that it was taken into consideration in designing the stormwater management system. As noted in the staff report, and confirmed by Mr. Plowe, Member Murphy stated that the City Engineers review of the plan and his input indicated the new pipe would still be accommodated by ? the existing downstream system on Acorn Road; with a minimal amount of additional water added to that storm sewer system and not creating any additional problem. hair Boguszewski closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m.; no one else spoke. ? Member Cunningham noted that she had supported the last four proposals, and opined that this latest proposal from the applicant provided even more significant improvements and commended Mr. Mueller for listening to his neighbors and addressing their concerns. Member Cunningham stated her main concern in the past was with the road width and tree issues, as well as significant drainage issues; but again noted Mr. Mueller appeared to have addressed those concerns and improved upon them. Therefore, Member Cunningham stated she would be hard pressed not to support this request. MOTION Member Murphy moved, seconded by Member Cunningham to recommend to the City Council approval of the proposed PRELIMINARY PLAT of the property at 2201 Road; as detailed and based on the information and analysis, and as conditioned and outlined in the project report dated December 2, 2015; amended to emphasize Condition D as follows: The applicant shall create and maintain a homeowners association for the longterm ??? maintenance of the private infrastructure. All documents shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney, Public Works Department, and Community Development Department. Member Stellmach stated he found this latest proposal much improved from the last iteration; and personally found three parcels and singlefamily homes a better fit for the neighborhood. Member ? Stellmach expressed appreciation to Mr. Mueller for the additional drainage improvements and trees remaining along Acorn Road. Based on previous discussion earlier tonight, Member Bull clarified that based on his understanding the emergency vehicle access concern had been brought up by the City Council as to stacking of vehicles on the private road as with the situation on any culdesac. However, ?? Member Bull noted that the Police and Fire Departments, in their review, had expressed no concern with that emergency vehicle access. Specific to tree preservation, Member Bull noted that the previous plan required 87 replacement trees, while this plan required zero replacements. Member Bull further noted that this plan provided 4,000 square feet less of impervious surface area allowing for better drainage. Therefore, Member Bull opined there were a lot of positives with this proposal compared to those in the past. Member Bull stated that his one remaining concern was with the potential responsibility the city may incur to maintain the basin in the southwest corner, noting that it also bisected two different property lines. Member Bull asked how those costs would be allocated when two different property owners were involved or how the city would access the properties if required to provide that maintenance. City Planner Paschke advised that all property owners would be assessed equally as they shared similar burdens; and if the site had any drainage issues, all three sites would share equally in the resolution and associated costs. Regarding previous City Council comments, Member Bull stated that he shared their concerns about the homeowners association, and as noted in lines 113 and 121 of the staff report, he was ? unclear on the term longterm” maintenance, suggesting it needed to be permanent” and ??? ongoing” by the association. Therefore, Member Bull suggested changing that terminology in the ? Commissions motion and conditions. With that amendment, Member Bull stated his support for ? file:///R:/CommDev/PLANNING_AND_ZONING/PLANNING_COMMISSION/Minutes/...4/11/2016
