Planning Commission Minutes November 26, 1996 Page 4 . Dave Anderson, 14845 County Road 30, Park and Recreation Commission representative, asked that the lot lines of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 4, be adjusted so that they are not in the right of way of 193rd, as shown on the proposed plat. Dave suggested a sidewalk along some of the southerly lots connecting the cui de sacs be considered. A neighbor on 193rd and Proctor has also suggested a sidewalk be considered along Proctor. Dave felt that if 193rd Avenue remained, a trail could also be accommodated with a 66 ft. wide right-of-way. He expressed support for a tree preservation ordinance to deal with this issue when reviewing plats. Dave felt a 20 ft. wide trail would be adequate to connect Rush Court to 193rd. Lois Carton, 19231 Proctor Road, expressed concern for the drainage impact of this plat. Mary Beth Dunn, 19388 Oxford Street, asked if residents on Highland would be forced to hook up to city sewer and water, with the development of this plat. Terry Maurer explained that Elk River Utilities has plans to extend a watermain to connect the northeast area with the northwest area. It was his understanding that the watermain would be put in without hooking up residents along Highland, but if water problems arose in the future, it would be possible to hook up. Ms. Dunn questioned the range of the value of homes proposed for this plat. Mr. Peterson explained the homes would not be in the same range as Lafayette Woods which has more amenities, and felt the range would be from $130,000 to $210,000. . There being no further comments from the public, Chair Thompson closed the public hearing. Discussion followed regarding tree preservation, the oak wilt area and grading. Whether or not 193rd A venue should be vacated and the affect on the proposed plat was discussed, as well as traffic and pedestrian issues. Terry Maurer felt it would be best to work with the County to address traffic issues associated with County Road No. 1 and Proctor, rather than trying to solve the problems by rerouting internal residential streets. It was the consensus of the Commissioners that the following issues need to be addressed before taking action on the proposed Cherrywood Hills plat: . Status of 193rd A venue . Tree preservation . Traffic circulation . Sidewalk along Proctor (who pays) . Rush Street - utilities, transportation/pedestrian connection with Lafayette Woods . Lot depths/grading issues John Peterson of Good Value Homes agreed that postponing this item for the 1/28/97 meeting would allow time to work through the outstanding issue. . COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION POSTPONE THE REQUEST BY GOOD VALUE HOMES, INC. FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. P 95-13, UNTIL THE JANUARY 28, 1997, PLANNING
