Heikes made a motion to approve the minutes of the July 13. 1993, meeting as submitted. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Kent Roessler of KENCO Construction addressed the Commission wi th regard to his request for preliminary plat approval of Parkside Second Addition. He stated that Parkside Second Addition is also known as Westwind Outlots A & B and that KENCO is proposing to place 18 twin homes ( 36 units) on this property. Roessler showed the Commission a floor plan, sketch. and photos of the proposed twin homes and estimated their value at $70,000 per side. He stated that painting, general maintenance, maintenance-free exteriors, prohibition of outside storage, etc. will be covered by recording restrictive covenants and that there will be no homeowner"s association. Johnson questioned the proposed 25" setback and stated that he felt that a 35" setback should be adhered to due to the fact that it looked too crowded as proposed. Heikes concurred, stating that she felt the aesthetic standards the City is seeking is lacking. Heikes stated that she was uncomfortable with the undersized lots and the fact that all of the proposed twin homes would be identical. She further stated that she would prefer to see single family homes in this area. Roessler stated that this property abuts the existing apartments and is directly between the apartments and single family property, thus, acting as the most desirable type of buffer. Roessler further stated that he felt it would be much more difficult to sell these lots as single family given their proximity to the apartments and that it is not financially feasible for KENCO to develop these lots as single family. He further stated that the abutting single family lots are approved with a 25" setback and that the reason he is proposing 25" as opposed to 35" is to maintain a sense of continuity. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION - 8/10/93 Page 2 of 3 Heikes stated that she is against approval of the preliminary plat due to the fact that the lots are too small, the setbacks should be 35", the facades are all the same, and the landscaping is not definitive. Barthel made a motion to schedule a public hearing on September 14, 1993, at 7:00 PM, to discuss the proposed preliminary plat for Parkside Second Addition. Heikes seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Commission discussed proposed Ordinance #1993-10 and proposed Ordinance #1993-11. The Commission was in agreement with #1993-10, but felt that the word "gravel" should be omitted from Ordinance #1993-11 due to the fact that gravel is too dusty. Berning made a motion to schedule a public hearing on September 14, 1993, at 7:45 PM, to consider proposed Ordinance # 1993-10, entitled, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1200.4 OF THE ALBERTVILLE ZONING REGULATIONS (1988-12) RELATING TO OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN CASES OF BUILDING EXPANSION AND SPECIAL DRAINAGE NEEDS. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Berning made a motion to schedule a public hearing on September 14, 1993, at 8:00 PM, to consider proposed Ordinance # 1993-11, entitled, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1000.16 OF THE ALBERTVILLE ZONING ORDINANCE (1988-12) REGARDING OUTDOOR STORAGE AREAS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye. Albert Barthel left the meeting at 8:00 PM. At 8;00 PM the Planning Commission met with the Park Board members to discuss walking and bike path proposals for the City. Park Board Chairman Marvin Vetsch was not present. They discussed the possibility of a future park in the southwest area of the City. They also discussed placing a bike path along Barthel Industrial Drive, about 6" from the street. They felt this bike path should be a top priority due to the fact that Barthel Industrial Drive carries very heavy vehicle and bicycle traffic. Ann was directed to contact Licht"s office and request that they present an estimated fee for assisting the City in establishing a formal comprehensive plan for the parks, walking paths, and biking paths. They would like this information in time for the upcoming budget meetings. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION - 8/10/93 Page 3 of 3 Ann was also directed to contact Licht"s office and request information regarding grants which are available for these purposes. Berning provided information to the Park Board regarding a two day seminar they might be interested in attending. Anita Roden will check into it and get back to Ann if she is able to attend. A motion to adjourn was made by Johnson at 8:55 PM. Heikes seconded the motion. All voted aye.
