Staff report presented by Scott Harlicker. Dynamics Design and Land Company has requested preliminary plat approval to subdivide 11.58 acres located at the westerly terminus of Island View Drive and east of 189th Avenue, into 7 single family lots. Scott reviewed the layout of the plat as outlined in the staff report to the Planning Commission dated 3/23/99. Scott noted that Outlot A has been provided for possible future connection to the property to the north. Scott explained that the Park and Recreation Commission has expressed interest in obtaining a parcel of high ground for city park land and they have requested a trail connection to the site. Also. a 55 foot wide strip is shown to provide frontage for the park on Island View as well as 189th. Scott indicated that a letter has been received from the DNR and suggested an additional condition be added stating that all comments of the DNR be addressed. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat with the conditions listed in the staff report. Chair Cote noted the receipt of a letter from Eugene Scribner, 13489 Island View Drive, expressing his concern for additional traffic on Island View Drive. Darrell Island, 13563 Island View Driye, expressed his opposition to any future road connection, as well as the trail connection. He questioned why these things were being proposed when the residents did not want them. Sandy Weicht, 13330 Island View Drive, expressed concern that Island View Drive cannot support the additional traffic which would be generated by this development. Ms. Weicht felt the safety of the pedestrians on Island View Drive would also be jeopardized. She stated that a precedent has already been set for the existence of long cui de sacs, citing Ridgewood Drive as an example. She felt a proposed bike path connecting with 189th could be a workable alternative to providing emergency access to Island View Drive. She was not opposed to a primitive park, but could not support an active park which will draw additional vehicle traffic. Ms. Weicht suggested that the plat be accessed by 189th and served by a cui de sac in that location. .
