<br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />March 25, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 2 of 9 <br /> 6.1 Preliminary Plat: Elk Hills Second Addition, 841 Line Avenue, All Day Companies on behalf of the <br />applicant <br /> Mr. Carlton presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Deb Opificius, 802 Fawn Road, discussed her concerns about an increase in traffic if townhomes are <br />being built on the southern portion. She stated Elk Hills Drive is very hilly and wouldn't support any <br />additional traffic as traffic currently backs up. <br /> <br />Karen Geissler, 58 6 1/2 Street NW, discussed her concerns about displacement of the current <br />wildlife and requested the city turn the area into a natural habitat instead of a development. <br /> <br />Phil Bergstrom, 18850 Twin Lake Rd., asked how many homes would be constructed and where <br />would the water be drained. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton stated the current zoning supports one home on each parcel and any new impervious <br />surface cannot increase the amount of stormwater runoff leaving the site. He also noted any uses <br />increasing the density or traffic will need additional reviews by the city council. <br /> <br />There being no one else to speak, Chair Beise closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked about the east-west corridor connecting Elk Hills Drive to Twin Lakes <br />Road. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton stated he doesn't believe this is an overarching goal to add that connection. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg stated that one person owns the parcel, and it's private property, and the city <br />can't dictate the owner to turn it into a wildlife property. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton stated that is correct. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to recommend <br />approval of the preliminary plat of Elk Hills Second Addition subject to the following <br />conditions: <br /> <br />1. The wetland boundary is to be updated upon receiving formal approval of the <br />delineated boundary. <br />2. Any development of Lot 2 will require connection to city utilities. <br /> <br /> Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br /> 6.2 Preliminary Plat: Ridgewood Hills Second Addition, 10038 215th Avenue, Greg Petersen <br /> Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing.
