wants to do something about a specific crossing because it is a blind corner so she did 294 <br />not think a trail should go there. 295 <br /> 296 <br />Chair Gitzen indicated there is still another part to this item that needs to be discussed 297 <br />so Member McGehee will have a chance to bring up the trail then. 298 <br /> 299 <br />Ayes: 6 300 <br />Nays: 0 301 <br />Motion carried. 302 <br /> 303 <br />Chair Gitzen indicated the Commission can discuss the preliminary plat and 304 <br />subdivision variance at this time. 305 <br /> 306 <br />Member Kimble indicated in listening to one of the comments, she wondered if there 307 <br />was any consideration of retaining some of lot one at the entry to be green with trees 308 <br />as one resident suggested. 309 <br /> 310 <br />Mr. Anderson explained he did propose a landscape plan that goes along with the 311 <br />standards that are expected for this development. He indicated the area alongside lot 312 <br />one has a fair amount of area but there needs to be a drainage swale next to that home 313 <br />but there is no reason why some coniferous trees could not be added to the area to 314 <br />increase the buffer. He noted trees cannot be planting in the basin, which is not 315 <br />allowed by the Watershed, but trees can be put along the parameter. There is room to 316 <br />enhance that area. 317 <br /> 318 <br />Member Kimble knew it was the desire of the resident to have the house removed 319 <br />completely but anything that can be done to help create some more tree density there 320 <br />would be appreciated. 321 <br /> 322 <br />Member Kimble moved, seconded by Member Kruzel, to recommend to the City 323 <br />Council approval of the Proposed Enclave at McCarrons Lake Preliminary Plat 324 <br />and the Subdivision Variance to allow a cul-de-sac Street Longer than 500 Feet, 325 <br />based on the content of the RPCA, Public Input, and Planning Commission 326 <br />Deliberation with conditions 1-3 in the RPCA recommended by staff and 327 <br />Condition 4 to beef up the greenery and trees along the westerly side of lot one as 328 <br />shown in the plat. (PF20-029). 329 <br /> 330 <br />Member Kimble indicated she did not have an issue with the length of road listed in 331 <br />the variance and her comments from before about the Rice/Larpenteur Task Force 332 <br />support enough of the recommendation. 333 <br /> 334 <br />Member Kruzel agreed with all of it and liked that the developer spoke about the trees 335 <br />and greenery along lot one. 336 <br /> 337 <br />Member Pribyl asked for a point of clarification, when Mr. Lloyd was presenting, she 338 <br />thought there was clarification on 3A and B about the language in the report. 339 <br /> 340 <br />Mr. Lloyd explained it is by the Parks and Recreation Department recommendation to 341 <br />receive cash in lieu of land and that the $72,000 amount and revision of the land for 342 <br />RCA Attachment D <br />Page 7 of 51
