Planning Commission Minutes February 27,2001 Page 13 • Ms. McPherson stated that there are homes on the north side of Highway 10 on Waco on the Elk River which have flooded in the past. Commissioner Pederson expressed his support for the park area near the multi- family buildings. Chair Mesich asked if the Commission supported a cul-de-sac at 183rd Avenue. Mr. Maurer stated that if the street was cul-de-laced, another access would be required onto Waco Street. Commissioner Pederson felt 183rd should be connected. Tom Warner felt there still is basically one road in and out of the plat, until the northern access is added. He noted that when Big Lake requested the connection back in 1993, this was a rural area. Commissioner Schuster felt there should be more of a buffer for the properties to the west and northeast. Commissioner Baker also supported removing the 8 units for the park area to the north. Chair Mesich agreed. Chair Mesich asked if it was possible the elevations would show the area to be unbuildable. Mr. Maurer stated he doubted the whole area would be unbuildable and he felt the worst case would be that the city would ask for a III reduction in density to provide more ponding. Chair Mesich asked if the engineer's staff would have time to review the drainage calculations before the City Council meeting. Mr. Maurer stated that he typically does not receive the drainage calculations until after the Planning Commission's review. He felt he would have adequate time to review the plans and ask for additional information before the Council meeting. Chair Mesich asked if the developer has spoken with Mr. Krause. Mr. Sanford stated that he has spoken with Mr. Krause. He anticipates that the golf ball issue will be addressed in the covenants and there may be a slight change in the t-box for that hole, if anything.
