Planning Commission Minutes September 13. 1995 reviewed a potential land swap of land along Aladdin Street for additional land to be added to the development along the south border of the property parallel with Overlook Drive. The Parks Department feels the land swap is a good idea, but has indicated it must be conditioned on scenic easements to protect the wood lot on the side slopes along the south property line. A traffic study was completed on the project indicating that the 44 townhome units would generate a total of250 to 270 vehicle trips per day. These are considered low numbers, and will have no significant impact on the traffic on County Road C or Dale Street. Surface water ponding would be handled through a series of on-site ponds as well as regional storage pond to be located east of Dale Street on property owned by George Reiling. The city supports this concept of regional storage ponding. The city engineering staff reviewed the project and provided 19 conditions of approval. The conditions of approval are attached to the city file August 21, 1995. The planning staff recommended approval of the project. City Planner Falk reviewed a video of the site with the Planning Commission. Member Cunningham asked about the depth of the pond and whether it would be filled year- round. He expressed concern with the safety of the neighboring area and whether the water would be stagnant. Member Sandstrom asked for details regarding the cul-de-sac off of Dale Street, and questioned whether the four-unit building located at the north end of the site could be moved to the south end of the site and a two-unit building placed along the northwest corner of the project. Rich Kettler, Applicant and Developer for the Project, provided a background report on the property acquisition, noting that he had held 4 meetings with the neighbors prior to this public hearing. He also said the concept had changed since the last time he had reviewed the project with the Planning Commission to include: 1) A new landscape plan. 2) A berming plan with 6 to 8 ft. berms along County Road C and Aladdin with landscaping on top of the berm. 3) No more driveways along County Road C to reduce the confusion with stacking and traffic at the County Road C and Dale entrance. 4) Materials have been specified as maintenance-free aluminum and vinyl with brick and stone veneers. 5) Renderings of the project site have been shown. 7
