Planning Commission Representative to Attend City Council Meeting Commissioner Schuster will attend the December 17, 2001 City Council meeting. 5.1. Request by Cascade Land Co. for Land Use Amendment to Include Certain Property in the Urban Service District. Public Hearing - Case No. LU 01-10 5.2. Request by Cascade 1 Land Co. for Preliminary Plat Approval (parkPointe). Public Hearing - Case No. P 01-13 Staff report by Chris Leeseberg. Cascade 1 Land Company has requested a land use amendment to bring a 79 acre parcel into the Urban Service District prior to 2007, and preliminary plat approval of Park Pointe. The plat is comprised of 97 lots, an exception and 9 outlots on 64.13 developable acres. Mr. Leeseberg reviewed the location of the property, current and proposed land use, surrounding land uses, layout and lot sizes, access, landscaping, and park dedication. He noted that the City Engineer's memo addresses grading, drainage and utility issues. Staff recommends approval of the land use and preliminary plat based on the findings and conditions listed in the staff report. Commissioner Mesich asked City Engineer Terry Maurer if the grading issues for some of the lots have been resolved, such as Lot 10, Block 7. Mr. Maurer discussed several options that the developer has to make the necessary corrections. Chair Pederson asked where the water tower would be located. Mr. Maurer stated that the water tower would be located in the Eagles Marsh plat. . Commissioner Baker asked if 176th Avenue would be a cul-de-sac. Mr. Maurer stated that the road will extend to the property line, and will be a cul-de-sac until such time in the future as the property to the north is developed. Chair Pederson opened the public hearing. Jim Brown, 555 3rd Street, Elk River, representing Cascade I Land Co., stated that the developer is in agreement with the City's policy regarding Lot 10 (Block 8) to the north. He explained that a lot could be taken out and the lot lines adjusted so that there would 8 lots instead of 9. Gordon Mire, 17753 Fillmore Street, stated that he currently has a conditional use permit for parking of his semi truck on his property. He asked if he would be affected by the development. Ms. McPherson stated that development of this property would not affect his conditional use permit. Bruce Goetz, owner of 20 acres to the north of the subject site, supported the location of the street between Lots 5 and 6 and did not want the street located any closer than that to his property. Mr. Goetz asked what the chance would be in the future for sewer and water crossing his property. Mr. Maurer explained that unless Mr. Goetz wished to develop his property, he would likely not be assessed for sewer and water until after 2007. There being no further public comment, Chair Pederson closed the public hearing. .
