Planning Commission Minutes January 26, 1999 Page 8 . utility plans. Scott indicated that the plans will need to be revised but that the applicant has requested the public hearing to receive public comment. Staff recommends that the requests be continued until the February 23rd Planning Commission meeting. Terry Maurer reviewed issues related to grading and utilities. He indicated that the developer has requested he be allowed to grade the building sites as the lots are sold. Terry indicated that he is requesting the developer to show the grading plan for the entire site. Terry also explained the issue of the using the street right of way for a temporary pond. He felt this may cause a problem with surrounding homeowners when the roadway is constructed.. Terry suggested that a sign be placed indicating the future street location. Also, he indicated that the utility plan does not show looping and easements which will be necessary for routing utilities which are outside of the street right of way. Terry noted the pond located at the north end will be designed with no outlet. Chair Cote questioned how the individual grading of the lots will be accomplished. Terry Maurer explained that there will be an overall grading plan and a development plan which will establish the elevations for each lot. If a builder wants to change the approved elevation, he will have to request a modification to the plan. . Commissioner Kuester asked what is planned for the power line easement. Scott indicated a trail is planned to extend to 193rd and then go east. He noted that the trail will be installed as part of the development. Commissioner Kuester asked what is the status of outlots E and C. Terry indicated Outlot C will be a pond and Outlot E is the remainder of the power line corridor. Terry felt that Outlot E would not be of any use other than an extension of the trail corridor. Chair Cote opened the public hearing. Dave Crocker, 19422 Auburn Street, expressed his concern for the traffic on Auburn Street. He felt the speeding vehicles were creating a dangerous situation for residents and especially, the children. He noted that speed bumps were considered by the Council previously, but the residents felt this would only cause drivers to accelerate between the speed bump areas. Mr. Crocker felt the outlot area should be used to create a cul-de-sac to divide the northern and southern portions of Auburn Street. . Terry Maurer indicated the developer did not have a problem with the proposal to cul-de-sac Auburn Street. but he does not wish to absorb the cost. Terry noted that a public meeting with the residents will be scheduled within the next month or so, depending upon progress of this development proposal. Gary Wieber, 19438 Auburn Street, questioned why he did not receive notice of the Hillside 9th public hearing. Terry Maurer indicated that Mr. Wieber was likely on the list of property owners for Hillside 8th Addition and not for Hillside 9th. He noted that an additional notice will be mailed since this issue will be postponed until the February Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Wieber expressed his concern with the traffic on Auburn. Terry indicated that he was not sure when the cul-de-sac would be built and the developer will be required to submit a phasing plan.
