City Council Minutes Page 3 November 20, 2023 ----------------------------- f'1 Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember Grupa to adopt Resolution 23-55 granting final plat approval for Park Pointe Second Addition, Case No. P 23-11 with the following conditions: 1. Park Dedication shall be paid for one dwelling unit at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. 2. A 35-foot-wide trail easement along Kliever Marsh above the Ordinary High Water Mark shall be provided. Motion carried 5-0. 7.2 Simple Plat: Glens Ridge, Westphal Construction Company, Inc. Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. Mayor Dietz opened the public hearing. Tyler Erickson, 9753 226' Lane, asked for clarification regarding road access for the homes, which Mr. Leeseberg explained. Shawn Norton, 201 Montana Avenue, Big Lake, is opposed to the condition requiring him to pave the cul- de-sac to city standards because it is cost prohibitive and is only for one additional home. He stated the wetlands on the property may make it cost prohibitive to build additional homes and suggested having it built later if the property were to be developed. Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. Mr. Grupa asked staff why the road is required to be paved. Mr. Leeseberg stated it's the city standard to pave city infrastructure. The intent is to eliminate gravel roads as opportunities arise due to safety and the additional maintenance/equipment costs required. Mayor Dietz read the staff's statement in the packet as to why the paved road is required. Councilmember Wagner asked if a cul-de-sac is the only option and felt it was a high cost to pay for one home. Mr. Leeseberg mentioned a hammerhead T design, but he is not sure the city engineer would be in favor of it. Councilmember Beyer would like to see more options because there won't ever be more than two lots on the cul-de-sac. Mayor Dietz asked staff to research and bring back examples of other areas of the city affected by gravel. Councilmember Wagner asked that the information be emailed to her. She asked for more information on how the street department would be affected if the cul-de-sac remains gravel. Moved by Councilmember Grupa and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to continue this item to the December 4 Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0. 7.3 Ordinance: Home Occupations Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. Mayor Dietz opened the public hearing. There being no one to speak to this issue, Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing.
