proposal. She noted this will also affect the privacy she will have, which she 147 considers a single-family property. Her goal is for this property not to be developed. 148 149 Ms. Buboltz noted she has spoken to an attorney about adverse possession on part of 150 the property line that she has taken care of since moving into her home, as far as 151 mowing, weeding, putting class five rock down, etc. She indicated this coming 152 summer will be the sixth year and the previous owner took care of the property as 153 well because he owned and farmed the property. 154 155 Mr. Mike Buboltz explained one of the biggest concerns, when talking about drainage 156 going into the east side townhomes, he wondered how this property can possibly meet 157 the permeability of the drainage. He thought it looked like there would be too much 158 on the property to meet the drainage requirements. His other concern is will the road 159 be considered a driveway or a public roadway. 160 161 Ms. Buboltz asked if the change in the plan was because the Fire Department needed 162 to get in and be able to turn around. She understood the financial piece and that the 163 property was purchased to make money and she did not have a problem with that, but 164 she did have a problem with what is going to happen with the property to make that 165 money. She indicated she wanted to understand the sprinkler system and also how an 166 HOA is going to work there and where will the garbage containers be located; will 167 each home have a container or will there be a bin somewhere. She also wondered 168 which school system this will impact. Currently where she is located, she thought the 169 students went to Mounds View and most of the time there is a Mounds View bus that 170 drops riders off and with the addition of this development to the massive project that 171 is going up on old Highway 8 and how that is going to impact the school system. She 172 explained she just received this information so was not able to clearly go through all 173 of it. She also had a question about two sewer caps that were recently dug out, one is 174 on part of her property and on part of the other property. There is also one way in the 175 back of the property. 176 177 Mr. Lloyd explained with respect to impervious coverage, the Zoning Code allows for 178 up to sixty-five percent of the site to be improved in some way with built things, 179 whether impervious or not. He believed this project is approximately forty-four 180 percent impervious which is not yet nearing the limit. He indicated the driveway is 181 indeed a private shared driveway and not a public street. With respect to the Fire 182 Department’s requirements, his understanding of them is on a townhome project, or 183 any residential project, needs either to have a place for a fire engine to turn around in, 184 adequately sized, or the building themselves have to be sprinklered. This is a 185 requirement. The person developing a site needs to pick one of those methods of 186 conforming to the Fire Department Code. 187 188 Mr. Lloyd indicated he did not know anything about the sewer cap issue. He believed 189 it was correct to state the homes will be in the Mounds View School District although 190 the School District boundaries are not a regular part of what the Zoning Code or 191 Subdivision Code seeks to use as reasons to approve or not approve something. He 192 explained the City Engineer has recommended a conditional of approval that the 193 developer needs to create a HOA for the new homeowners if this is approved. This 194 will make sure the stormwater BMP’s are properly maintained and the common areas 195 RCA Attachment E Page 4 of 28
