Planning Commission Page 3 <br />October 26, 2021 <br />Commissioner Keisling asked if there had been conversations with the gun club <br />regarding the relocation of the driveway. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated the applicant has been in conversations with the gun club. <br />Mr. Carlton stated he has been having conversations with the resident directly across <br />from the gun club driveway entrance and they were unable to make the meeting <br />tonight. The resident had general questions regarding the projects and the driveway <br />location. <br />Chair Larson -Vito opened the public hearing. <br />Todd Olin with Landform spoke on behalf of the Pullar's. He stated they received <br />information from the Sherburne County Highway Department with respect to the <br />plat's proposed driveway location and found they would not allow two driveway <br />access points in such close proximity. The highway department recommended either <br />a turn lane be installed or recommended working with the gun club to determine if <br />they would be willing to combine driveways and repositioning the club's entrance. He <br />stated the gun club allowed them to come in and speak to their board regarding the <br />proposed plat and driveway relocation request. Mr. Olin indicated the club's vice - <br />chair and chair were present at tonight's meeting to hear the city's presentation. The <br />applicants are comfortable with the conditions outlined in the staff report and are <br />open to coordinating with the gun club to satisfy the requirements of the county. He <br />stated they still wished to proceed with the preliminary plat at this time. <br />Steve Pullar, 20343 Meadowvale Road, resident of Elk River for 35 years and hasd <br />seen many changes in the area. He stated they would like to stay at the property and <br />retire and would like to work with the gun club with their plat. He stated they have <br />never complained about anything that has happened at the gun club and hoped they <br />could collaborate with them to agree on finding a resolution to proceed with the plat. <br />Commissioner Rydberg asked Mr. Pullar if they had considered any other uses for <br />this property and felt there would be a concern with noise mitigation, noting there <br />may be more complaints that could be heard in the future with the proposed plat. <br />Mr. Pullar expressed the same concerns for noise mitigation and noted the location <br />of these lots adjacent to a gun club will be explained to potential buyers before <br />purchasing. <br />Victoria Pall, 20301 Meadowvale Rd. NW, expressed concerns about people visiting <br />the gun club and wondered if the vehicles speeding on the gun club's dirt road could <br />be mitigated, noting there was dust kicked up from traffic. She stated she has talked <br />to the gun club numerous times about the speeders and dust, and they told her they <br />would talk to the members about speeding on their entrance road. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated the proposed plat would require a bituminous surface into the <br />development and would create some dust during construction but would be <br />constructed to city road standards. <br />re�Ee" er <br />NATURE <br />
