Mr. Filipovich stated concerns regarding trees, screening, assessments, and the trail being too close (3- 4 feet) to his driveway. Ms. McPherson stated that staff would work with Mr. Filipovich on the screening and trail issues. Mayor Klinzing stated that there would not be any assessments to Mr. Filipovich regarding the trail or this development. Brian Doric, 544 Auburn Place, stated concerns about this development lowering property values in the area. City Attorney Peter Beck stated that Mr. Doric could check with the county in regards to how this may affect his property values. Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dietz questioned how this development is affected if the city decides to cul-de-sac County Road 13. Councilmember Matin also commented that County Road 13 could be put into a cul-de-sac when 193rd goes through to Tyler Street. Councilmember Dietz noted concerns regarding the street widths and getting the message to future residents that these would not be city streets and the city would not be responsible for maintenance and plowing. Councilmember Farber noted his concern about the limited number of accesses in and out of the development. Mayor Klinzing stated concerns over the impact of continued growth in the Elk River School District. Director of Planning Michele McPherson noted that the preliminary plat calls for two cul-de-sacs and that this may change in the final plat.
