Staff recommended approval of the three requests with the conditions listed in the staff report. Acting Chair Larson-Vito asked if the roads support the proposed 26 units, since it is pretty busy there now. Mr. Carlton stated that the city is looking at changes in this area and explained the proposed changes. He noted that the city engineer is comfortable with the traffic that will be coming out onto Line Avenue. Councilmember Wagner stated that the point of the cul-de-sac was to reduce the traffic onto Line Avenue and now we would be putting more traffic in this area. Mr. Carlton stated that the estimated number of trips per day that would be generated by this development would be 100, and the number of trips currently recorded is in the thousands. So,he felt there would be a significant reduction in the number of trips with the cul-de-sac even though this development would cause slight increase. Councilmember Wagner asked why staff is not asking for a connection to Twin Lakes Road. Mr. Carlton stated the applicant does not own the parcels necessary to make the connection. Councilmember Wagner asked if the property owners had been contacted. Mr. Carlton stated staff has received no direction to do so. He stated that if that is the desire of the Council, the option could be explored. Acting Chair Larson-Vito opened the public hearing. Roger Derrick, applicant, 11954 Germaine Terrace,Eden Prairie—stated that they have reduced the number of lots in order to save a lot of trees. He explained that grading will only be done in the orange area shown on the plat. He stated that they are holding off on the final plat to see if they can save even more trees.
