Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 May 24, 2005 --------------------------- Commissioner Offerman asked if the easement issue has been resolved. Mr. Harlicker stated that the issue was part of the platting process and has been taken care of. Commissioner Stevens asked if the stand of trees is part of this property. Mr. Harlicker stated that the trees are part of the 50-foot ‘no cut” buffer zone. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. Arthur Jackett, 19435 Dodge Street – Stated he was concerned that residential property is being rezoned to commercial and asked where it would end. He stated that he felt the same thing could happen by Coborns. Mr. Jacket questioned why the residents on Carson Circle were not sent notices of this application. Chad Carlson, 19428 Dodge Street – Stated he shared Mr. Jackett’s concern for commercial zoning “creeping” into the residential neighborhoods. There being no one else to speak to this issue, Chair Anderson closed the public hearing. Chair Anderson asked if residents on Carson Circle should have been notified. Ms. McPherson stated no, that State Statute requires notification of property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. She stated that if Mr. Jackett meant Dodge Circle, they would have received notification. Commissioner Offerman stated that he could understand the residents’ concern that the buffer be maintained, but that this issue was not brought up during the platting of Outlot B. Commissioner Offerman felt the land use change and rezoning at this point were more of a “housekeeping” type issue. He did not feel they should be concerned about the commercial “creeping” further, since there was no where for it to go. Commissioner Stevens stated he concurred with Commissioner Offerman’s comments. Mr. Harlicker noted that the 50-foot buffer of trees extends into the residential lots and ensures its protection.
