ZEHNDER HOMES (2013063) Vice Chair Oakley introduced the request by Zehnder Homes for a preliminary plat for "Maple Creek 3rd Addition" for two single family lots at 15930 291h Avenue N. Senior Planner Drill gave an overview of the staff report. Commissioner Anderson asked how we would get the right-of-way on the west side of Weston Lane for the proposed cul-de-sac, since that area is not part of the plat. Senior Planner Drill said that portion would be on vacant city property, and if it would be developed in the future, we would obtain a street easement for a turn -around. Commissioner Petrash asked why there is a cul-de-sac rather than a connection to the street on the north side. Senior Planner Drill stated there is a berm which was constructed as part of the redevelopment of the Lowe's site and senior building. He said that driveway serves the garden center of Lowe's so there is no opportunity nor desire to connect Weston Lane into the road to the north. Vice Chair Oakley asked if the cul-de-sac would be constructed to normal city standards rather then temporary. Senior Planner Drill answered affirmatively, and added the construction of the turn -around would be paid by the developer. Vice Chair Oakley opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. Vice Chair Oakley closed the public hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Petrash, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to approve the request by Zehnder Homes for a preliminary plat for "Maple Creek 3rd Addition" for two single family lots at 15930 29th Avenue N. Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved. B. TRADITION DEVELOPMENT (2013071) Vice Chair Oakley introduced the request by Tradition Development for reguiding and rezoning of 3.2 acres and preliminary plat/replat for "Hampton Hills 6th Addition". Senior Planner Drill gave an overview of the staff report. Approved Planning Commission Minutes September 18, 2013 Page 3 Commissioner Anderson noted the only outlot would be on the north side of the proposed development. Senior Planner Drill answered affirmatively and said there would be a temporary turn around on it until the property to the north develops. He said the developer has control of that property. Commissioner Oakley introduced the applicant, Rob St. Sauver, Tradition Development. Mr. St. Sauver added they control the northern five -acre parcel and another parcel to the north. He confirmed the temporary cul-de-sac and outlot would be removed as they develop to the north. Commissioner Anderson asked for a report on development and building activity. Mr. St. Sauver said it has been excellent and the Parade of Homes has provided good leads with people signing lot reservations and purchase agreements. He added the 5th Addition and 6th Addition have their best lots with strong views. Commissioner Kobussen asked if Lot 3 might eventually be split into two lots. Mr. St. Sauver said they do not have plans to purchase and there is a private agreement with the owner. He said Lot 3 might be replatted and subdivided on the lower eastern portion depending on development, sewer access and long term planning. Vice Chair Oakley opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. MOTION by Commissioner Petrash, seconded by Commissioner Robinson, to approve the request by Tradition Development for reguiding and rezoning of 3.2 acres and preliminary plat/replat for "Hampton Hills 6th Addition".
