School district to crowded <br />. Project to dense for this area, larger lots in this development - suggestions ranged <br />from 10 acres to 1 acre <br />. Traffic speed on County Road 13 <br />. Visibility along County Road 13 from the Lincoln and Kennedy Street intersections <br /> <br />One resident on the east side of Cleveland Street commented that City sewer and water <br />should be extended to the east side of Cleveland Street. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission had the following comments: <br /> <br />Commissioner Pederson - The property should remain its current zoning (RId) with 14,000 <br />sf. minimum lot size. He did not feel the proposal met the intent of the area. If the <br />developer were to donate land for a school, an increase in density could be considered. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevens - The site lent itself to higher density. He liked the preserved woods <br />and restored wetlands. He had an overriding concern regarding transportation and the lack <br />of sufficient east/west corridors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Offerman - Concurred with Commissioner Stevens. <br /> <br />Chair Ropp - Concerned with transportation issues especially at Main and Highway 169 <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson - Could not support project. He is concerned with the <br />transportation system. Project would adversely affect already bad situation. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended by a vote of 7-0 denial of the proposal based on <br />the following findings: <br /> <br />1. THE PROPOSAL IS PREMATURE DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE <br />IN-PLACE INFRASTRUCTURE (WATER, SEWER, <br />TRANSPORTATION). <br />2. THE PROJECT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC SAFETY. <br />3. THE PROJECT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ADJACENT USES. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2004\P 04-09 River Park\P04-09CC9-20.doc <br />
