Planning Commission Minutes June 12, 2001 Page 3 ditch which will drain into the storm water drainage system and run down to their easement pond; therefore, it would not be possible to do any berming along the county road. Commission Mesich asked if a fight turn lane would be required. Mr. Graser stated that the county will require it. Ms. McPherson stated that the county is requiring a right turn lane and a bypass lane. Chair Pederson asked what the sizes of Lots 6, 7, and 8 would be, without the pond. Mr. Graser explained where the pond would be located and how a NURP pond functions. He did not know what the size would be without the pond area. Chair Pederson suggested that one of the lots be taken out to increase the dry, useable area of the lots. Mr. Graser noted that in 2-3 years, natural vegetation establishes itself around the pond and that there will be a natural overflow in addition to the pipe system. Mr. Graser stated that he hopes to expand on the county's contract for the drainage pond so that the additional ponding area can be done at this time to save costs, rather than coming back and having the work done at a later date. Commissioner Baker asked if Street G was designed to line up with a future street to the south. Ms. McPherson stated that the Commission will be reviewing the preliminary plat of Kliever Lake Hills in July and they will be able to see how the road will be extended. She explained that Elk River Municipal Utilities will be purchasing one acre of that 40 acre plat for the location of a water tower. She noted that the plat will be single family residences. Commissioner Mesich stated that there was one additional lot that was less than 12,000 square feet. Mr. Graser stated that this was an oversight and will be corrected. Chair Pederson expressed concern for the pond in the back of Lots 8 and 11. He felt this pond will be wet most of the time and substantially reduces the size of the lots. He asked if the mailboxes will be clustered. Ms. McPherson stated that the condition was omitted from the last discussion and will be added, as well as a condition to provide snow storage easements in the cul-de-sacs. She stated that Condition//4 could be amended to include sidewalks on Streets A, B and G. Commissioner Mesich asked if Chair Pederson was suggesting that Lots 8 and 11 be increased above the 12,000 square foot requirement, due to the ponding. Chair Pederson stated he would support that suggestion. Commissioner Baker asked the Commissioners to consider removing the condition for clustering of the mailboxes because of the inconvenience and maintenance issues. He stated that the storm water pond should be considered part of the 12,000 square foot lot size. Commissioner Schuster stated that he has an easement in his backyard which has water in k and does not feel it is a problem. He stated that as long as the buyer is aware of the fact when he purchases the lot, there should not be an issue. Commissioner Baker asked for clarification on the additional lot to be added if the County agreed to allow sharing of the ponding easement. Mr. Graser stated that there would be 99 lots with either plan. Commissioner Mesich expressed his concern that the City Council slated this parcel for development with urban services in 2007. Ms. McPherson explained that the City Council
