Paul Ederer, representing Highland Bank, reviewed the proposal to expand the parking lot and drive-through areas by expanding on the adjoining property purchased by the bank. Ederer explained the reason for the expansion is to relieve congestion in the entrance area for a smoother flow of traffic. Commissioner Larson questioned why an alley had been created on the bank's lot line and who was liable should an accident occur as vehicl es use the all eyway to enter Large Avenue. Ederer \ explained that the gravel was used for filling the basement area and was spread out. City Administrator Hale explained that former bank officer Doug Bleess had given the City the approval to use the alleyway until the expansion proposed occurs.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION February 13, 1996 Page 2 of 4 Kent Roessler presented his concept plan for the Parkside. The concept plan for the 350 total acres requires a PUD zoning to accommodate the following: Single Family Lots b5 75' X 125' 121 80' X 125' 131 90' X 140' 22 100' X 160' 136 Townhouses (4-plex and 8-plex units) Cedar Creek 18 Hole Championship Golf Course. Par 71 Pal-k 5.7 acres, centrally located Roessler expects the entire 350 acres t.o be developed over a five year period. He projects the opening of the golf course in the fall of 1997 or spring of 1998. . Roess I er stated the increased densi ty of the project wi] I accommodate a broader mix of housing for the Ci ty. Residential density over the entire 350 acres is calculated at 1.35 homes per acre, even though the golf course encompasses a large portion of the total acreage. Kenco, Inc. will maintain architectural control over the entire plat. Planner Liz Stockman explained tha.t the Commission needs to consider the increase in the total number of lots and the increase in density. She also advised that the City cannot rezone until the all the property is in the City of Albertville. A portion of the golf course, as proposed, is under the jurisdiction of Frankfort Township. The Commission also needs to consider that the concept plan shown indicates the continuation of 53rd Street through a parcel of property not under Kenco's control. Commissioner Brown questioned the reason the area currently zoned as B-3 was being platted into townhouses. Roessler indicated he is willing to leave that portion zoned B-3 undeveloped for a period of five years if the City would agree that if the parcel is not sold for business uses in that time frame, Roessler will be able to develop it into townhouses. . The other option pointed out 1S to make the gol f cou:tse portion of the proposed PUD smaller, thereby allowing more single family larger (12,500 sq. ft.) lot sizes. Commissioner Anderson stated she is opposed to any lot sizes smaller than 12,500 sq. ft. Commissioner Brown would prefer to see all lots aver-age 12,500 sq. ft., i.e. allowing some lots smaller than 12,500 sq. ft. but requiring some lots to be larger than 12,500 sq. ft. . PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION February 13, 1996 Page 3 of 4 Chair Berning indicated that annexation of the Frankfort Township 60 acre portion of the proposed concept plan should occur prior to concept design being approved. Commissioner Larson prefers a ten year delay on development of the cur rent 1 y zoned B- 3 property before it can be deve loped residentially. The concept plan should show this area platted as an out 1 et. The Commission concurred that the varied lot sizes are appropriate, however, the total average lot size should be in the 12,500 sq. ft. range. Because the proposed park land is less than the acreage required for this size development, Roessler agrees to pay for the improvement of the park, i.e. play equipment, grading, landscaping, etc. Roessler also agrees to allow the green spaces on the golf course to be used by the public. . Provisions must be considered for the improvement of the street as proposed between the golf course and the Sylvester Kolles property. It was also suggested that the developer consider placing a street in the plat to eliminate the need for Kadler Avenue which would be under joint jurisdiction of the Cities of Albertville and otsego. Anderson made a motion to table further discussion of t.he Kenco concept plan un t i I February 26, 1996, at 7: 00 PM wi th revi 3i ons as noted by the Commissi on, inc I udin.g vari ed lot si zes wi th an average of 12,500 sq. ft. Larson seconded the motion. Anderson, Larson, Berning and Vetsch voted aye. Brown voted no. The motion carried. The Commission reviewed the concept plan for the D'Aigle property recently annexed into the ci ty. The concept shows 77 residential lots on the 66-acre pa~cel. All riparian lots have a lllinimum of 40,000 square feet and a 11 non - ripari an lots a re a minimum of 15,000 square feet. The DNR has identified 17.8 acres of wetland. Because wetland delineation is difficult this time of year, more wetland acreage may be identified later. . Some of the issues to be addressed regarding this concept plan are as follows: (1) MacIver Avenue will be under joint jurisdiction of the Cities of Albertville and otsego. How will this affect improvements to the street? Should the Albertvill..:; portion of the street be vacated as unnecessary and the plat be served from 70th street.? . . . PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION February 13, 1996 Page 4 of 4 ( 2 ) ( ':l , " ) Investigate the best alternative for sewer extensions The outlot as shown should be considered for park and trails for public use The plat should be single family only. ( 4) The developer will resubmit his concept plan after the revisions suggested have been incorporated. The Commission also c!)n~;idered a revi.sion to thi? sign ordinance concerning billboarsds. Concerns related to billboards being placed at 500 feet and this may be considered exceSSIve. Brown made a motion to adjourn at 10:45 PM. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
