Planning Commission Minutes August 27, 2002 Page 5 e lines if it is placed on the traffic circle. He felt the monument sign should be located at the entrance to the development. Chair Pederson stated that he could accept the cul-de-sac situation as temporary and felt that the property to the west would be developed eventually. He stated that he was comfortable with the emergency access and density bonuses as proposed. He stated that his greatest concern is the layout of the ballfield and play area. Mr. Harlicker asked the Commissioners if they felt a fence would be necessary along the tracks, if the ballfield and play area were moved to the north of 193rd A venue. It was the consensus of the majority that the fence would then not be as important. There being no further public comment, Chair Pederson closed the public hearing. Mr. Brown stated that he felt it may be possible to locate the ballfield and play area north of 193rd Avenue and place the detention pond on the south side. Commissioner Franz asked if moving the pond to the south would impact the plan to shift the septic system to the south, in order to move the road further to the south. Mr. Brown stated that they may need to change the angle of the road in order to accomplish this. Commissioner Franz stated that he also had concerns regarding the cul-de-sac, but he felt the situation could be acceptable since development will eventually occur to the west. He also felt the ballfield should be located north of the street. e COMMISSIONER BAKER MOVED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REQUEST BY WINDSOR OAKS OF ELK RIVER, LLC (BARBARA FORD) FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF WINDSOR OAKS, CASE NO.
