Riverside Development has requested preliminary plat approval and a conditional use permit for a town home project. Steve explained that since the Council has taken action to keep Twin Lakes Road open, the cul-de-sacs within the plat that had raised some concern will likely not be built. Mr. Wensman reviewed issues which were detailed in his report to the Commission regarding phasing of the project elevations, density, roads, trails, parking, wetlands, access to adjacent properties, drainage and utilities, grading, tree preservation, landscaping, signage, play area, and park dedication. Mr. Wensman noted that a letter has been received from Sherburne County, stating their concerns with the access requested by the developer. Commissioner Baker asked for more information regarding elevations of the proposed town homes and twin homes. Steve Wensman provided photos of similar units in another city. Commissioner Baker asked what will happen to the cul-de-sacs. Terry Maurer stated that the streets will now go through and the breakaway barriers will be unnecessary. Commissioner Kuester expressed her concern that there be adequate pedestrian connections, specifically, the Line Avenue connection, to provide a safer way for people to get to the shopping areas and also to connect to the pedestrian overpass on Highway 169. Chair Mesich opened the public hearing.
