PLMRIRG & ZOIfIRG COItHISSIOIf March 31, 1997 Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM PRESENT: Chair Donatus Vetsch, Commissioners Jim Brown, Carol yn Bauer, Howard Larson, and Dan Robertus, Deputy Zoning Administrator Linda Houghton and City Planner Liz Stockman Chair Vetsch convened the regular meeting at 7:00 PM. Larson made amotion to adopt the agenda as presented. Brown seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Commission revi'E!wed the revisions of Ordinance #1997-2 (An Ordinance Amending Sections A-500 and A-600 of the Albertville Subdivision Ordinance Regarding Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat Requirements and Establishing a Secondary Street Access Requirement for Residential Subdivisions). The ordinance requires that no more than 25 residential uni ts on local streets and no more than 50 units on minor collector streets may be developed within a single plat wi thout providing a second street access int%ut of the subdivision. . Stockman pointed out that the dead-end street provision is not fool-proof. City Engineer Peter Carlson is not comfortable with settihg a specific number of residences to trigger the construction of a second access. He feel s that the Counci I should have the ability to waive the requirement if necessary. The Commission concurred that the ordinance may later be changed if the Council feels it is not practical to enforce. Brown made a motion to recommend the City Council adopt ORDINANCE '1997-2 titled AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONSA-500 AND A-600 OF THE ALBERTVILLE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REGARDING SKETCH PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUIREMENTS AND ESTABLISHING A SECONDARY STREET ACCESS REQUIREMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS. Robertus seconded the motion. All voted aye. Liz addressed the memo dated March 27, 199'7, from her office regarding street classifications and right-of-way . The subdivision ordinance requires that designated collector streets (53rd and 57th Streets) have an 80 foot right-of-way and a 44 foot road back of curb to back of curb. ~ocal streets are required to have a 60 foot right-of-way with a 36 foot road back bf curb to back of curb. . At the March staf f meeting, the ci ty engineer, the city administrator and the city planner discussed the need for collector streets in the City given the number of arterial ~nd minor arterial (county roads) which pl:..ovide access in all directions, their close proximity, and the relatively small size of the community. After much discussion, staff recommends that a "Minor Collector" street . . . PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING March 31, 1997 Page 2 o~ 2 I classification be created, which would require a 70 foot right-of- way and a 36 foot back of curb to back of curb. Staff further recommends that the designated colI ector streets (53rd and 57th streets) be constructed as minor collector streets. The proposed main through-road commencing at CSAH 37 and connecting with 53rd Street, serving Cedar Creek/Center Oaks additions will be classified as a minor collector street. This allows space for trails along the street. Commissioners discussed the pavement width of 32' for local streets. City Engineer Peter Carlson feels that a 32' paved surface is adequate for traffic flow, as well, as snow plowing, etc. Commissioner Robertus pointed out that the street in front of his home has a 32' paved surface, but a 36 foot back of curb to back of curb measurement. During the winter months, it was sometimes difficu!t for two vehicles to pass when a car was parked on one or both sides of the street. I Brown made a motion to recommend that the City Council pursue an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance as follows: A "minor collector" classification with a 70 foot right-of- way and a 36' back of curb to back to curb measurement will be created. Robertus seconded the motion. All voted aye. Stockman reviewed the Park & Trail System policies with the Commission. Minor changes were made in the draft document, and the revised Park & Trail System Policies will be presented for final apprbval at a later date. The Commission discussed .the possible addition of 1.98 acres to the existing 2.84 acre Parkside 3rd park when the Center Oaks parcel is platted. Adjoining park land immediately to the south could be acquired when the Lyman Lumber property develops. Further discussion of the park issue, as well as discussion of the Cedar Creek Golf Course, was tabled to the next re,gular meeting on April 8, 1997. Larson made a motion to adjourn at 10: 15 PM. seconded the motion. All voted aye. Robertus Donatus Vetsch, Chair Linda Houghton, Dep. Zoning Admin.
