Planning Commission Minutes February 25, 1997 Page 2 . COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY CYNTHIA SANBORN FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. CU 97-3. COMMISSIONER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. Staff report by Steve Ach. Good Value Homes is requesting to subdivide approximately 38 acres located on the northwest corner of Proctor and 193rd A venue into 79 single family lots. The Planning Commission reviewed this plat on November 26, 1996, and postponed action until a number of significant issues could be addressed. Steve indicated the plat has not changed since their review. Status of 193rd Avenue - The City Council reviewed this issue in January. At that meeting, the Council considered the merits of a trail corridor in this location but no action was taken. The Council felt the overall transportation plan for this area needs to be further reviewed before making a decision. Staff supports the long term plan of Proctor carrying traffic down to County Road No.1, and eliminating cut-through traffic by closing 193rd as a through-street. Staff also supports the Park & Recreation recommendation for a pedestrian corridor connection from Proctor and Highland over to the main trail (former railroad bed). . Steve Ach noted staff has inspected the Carton property south of 193rd and estimates there is possibly a 3/4 acre building site. In 1989 a resolution was passed by the Council waiving all assessments, based on the request of the property owner that the property was un buildable. Staff feels the property may wish to consider the feasibility of providing services to the lot in order for it to be considered buildable. Sidewalk alono Proctor Avenue - Steve explained that Proctor is a "rural section", and a sidewalk would not be likely unless Proctor was improved to "urban section" standards at some point in the future. Storm Drainaqe - Terry Maurer stated he has not received formal storm drainage calcuations. In response to letters from the property owner to the south of 193rd Ave. and the owner south of County Road No.1, storm drainage calculations will be reviewed as the project proceeds for quality and quantity. Since the city does not have criteria for rate and volume control, each area is reviewed individually. In this case, if there is problem downstream, the developer would be required to maintain the same rate of run-off as currently exists. Terry will meet individually with the landowner south of 193rd to review drainage information when it is available. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. . Lyle Talbot, 19771 Robinson Street, Dayton, MN, 55327, indicated he owns property bounded by County Road 1 and 193rd Avenue, southwest of the proposed plat. He questioned where access to his property would be if 193rd were closed. Mr. Talbot noted his property is divided by a wetland.
