6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 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.

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". Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved.
