Planning Commission August 28, 2018 Page 4 from a road or residence, but wondered what the current restrictions are and if that will change with the development being constructed. Marc Kruger, 22220 Monroe St. NW- stated he felt the preliminary plat fails to indicate what areas would be wetlands and easements, stating preliminary sketches outlined wetlands but this plat doesn't show that. He was concerned about higher density and additional traffic on Monroe with only 2 access points. He was also concerned about the width of Monroe Street and whether it will be extended, widened, or paved. Chair Johnson and Mr. Leeseberg explained that the wetlands have a significant amount of protection. They will be delineated and protected by a 45' setback. Mr. Leeseberg reviewed the number of proposed access points on Monroe and stated the applicant would update the road to a city street at their expense and following city standards. Regarding Mr. Roskaft's hunting question, Mr. Leeseberg explained the hunting map and city ordinance requirements, which places most of the city is in the hunting restriction zone which requires permission from the Police Department to hunt. He noted the subject parcel is already located in the hunting restriction zone. Ron Rickers, 22345 Monroe St. NW- stated he preferred 2.5 acre parcels and didn't Eke the varying lot sizes. Chair Johnson explained the average lot size remains at 2.5 acres but due to the unique layout of the land and the wetlands some lots would be smaller, and some would be larger. Mr. Rickets asked about the dirt cul-de-sac that's at the end of Monroe Street, which he stated is on private property, and noted that the applicant would have to shorten Monroe Street by about 40'. He asked the applicant the price range of homes planned to be constructed. He also asked if this development would affect his taxes. Bill Christian, the applicant, said he is proposing to build homes ranging between $450,000 and $500,000. Home types include ramblers with 3 car garages and some 2 - story homes. Mr. Leeseberg stated the cul-de-sac would be constructed on the applicant's property, and in the worst case scenario, located at the north end of the plat but not beyond the north line of the property. Mr. Krueger asked follow-up questions regarding the end of the paved cul-de-sac, and any concerns with the capacity of the aquafer, project timeframe, and if there would be a model home. Jeremy Black, 10246 221" Ave. NW- stated he was concerned with the effect of this development in proximity of his farm, which was located in the southeast corner rs■IIEI 1 1 NATURE
