34 Commissioner Leutgeb asked if the City Planner could address the uniquely shaped or irregular 35 shaped lots. City Planner Paschke indicated thatcommercial properties are not treated the same as 36 residential properties regarding the requirement that lots be “simple, regular shapes” with 37 perpendicular lines. This is because commercial development sites share parking, access, and 38 utilities, which would not be possible if required to conform to a standard lot design or 39 configuration. He then explained the layout of the proposed lots and other, similar layouts within the 40 City that have beenapproved in the past. 41 Regarding the resident inquiry, aresident from the Oakcrest neighborhood addressed the 42 Commission about traffic and wondered whether any study was completed regarding the increase in 43 traffic and/or better access to her neighborhood. City Planner Paschke explained there was an EAW 44 completed for this project and through that process mitigations were identified to address negative 45 impacts. The most notable mitigation included the additional signal light at Hershel Street, which 46 will assist in helping traffic flow better through this stretch of County Road C, as well as slow traffic 47 down to allow for the proper movement of vehicles turning left onto or off of County Road C. The 48 resident in attendance seemed satisfied with this information and offered no follow-up questions to 49 the Commission. 50 The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the preliminary plat of Twin Lakes th 51 4 Addition, based on the content of the RPCA, public input, the Planning Commission’s 52 deliberation, and the following conditions: 53 1.
