City Administrator Goeb reviewed the Planning Commission's decision to recommend denial of the Comprehensive Plan amendment, rezoning, PUD/CUP and preliminary and final plat for the Parkview Place 2nd Addition. The proposal (as submitted to the Planning Commission) consisted of 32 townhomes located along the new portion of Lachman Avenue immediately south of 5ih Street. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is necessary to allow the medium density proposal within an area guided for business and low density residential development. The property is currently zoned a combination of B-2, Limited Business, and R-I, Single Family Residential. The developer is requesting rezoning of the site to R-4, Twin Home, Townhouse, Quadraminium and Low Density Multiple Family. The CUP/PUD is necessary to allow the subdivision of base lots into unit lots for individual ownership of townhouse units. Cascade II Land Company has revised its submission to the Council to address some of the issues discussed by the Planning Commission. The plat now consists of 28 townhouses with garage sizes increased to 480 square feet. They have also added a green strip between the private driveways. . Jim Krystosek, representing Christian Builders who will construct the townhouses, reviewed the layout of the individual units. The one level units will have 1,529 square feet of living space and the two story units will exceed 1650 square feet. The units are projected to sell for $140,000-$150,000. Krystosek indicated that the builders would prefer to downsize the individual garages to 20' X 22' (or 440 square feet), but have designed the units with the 480 square foot garages. . ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1999 Page 3 of 4 Stalberger made a motion to approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the rezoning of the subject property to R-4, a PUD/CUP to allow the subdivision of the base lots for individual ownership, the revised preliminary and final plat for the Parkview Place 2nd Addition, subject to the developer entering into a Developer's Agreement with the City and an approved townhouse association agreement. The approval requires 480 square foot garages. Olson seconded the motion. Stalberger, Olson, Gundersen and Berning voted aye. Vetsch voted no. The motion carried and the zoning requests are approved. Keith Harstad, the developer working with the properties south of CSAH 18, presented a revised concept plan for that area. The concept is for the area north of County Ditch 9 only and consists of 190 total single family lots. Harstad is proposing a PUD zoning to allow 55 lots at a minimum 85-foot width, 93 lots with a 90-94 foot width, and 6 lots with a 95-99 foot width. Average lot size is in excess of 15,000 square feet. . City Engineer Carlson told the Council that he feels this concept may be the best design the City is likely to see if the property is to develop as single family residential. The Council indicated they were in general agreement with the proposed concept plan as designed. City Engineer Carlson updated the Council on the Oakside Park project. The final lift of blacktop will be installed on the tennis courts this week and the trails and parking lot will be completed soon. The trail in front of the Savitski building will also be completed through a change order to the original contract. Carlson reported that the contractor has run into poor clay materials on a stretch of the 57th Street project. The cost of excavating this poor clay material to a depth of 15-20' would be very high. Carlson recommends that the utilities be installed now and the first two lifts of bituminous be laid but the bituminous wear course be deleted from this contract. The wear course would not be laid for two years to allow the clay materials to stabilize. The Council agreed with Carlson's recommendations. . Carlson reported there have been some problems getting home builders to keep the streets free of mud. One solution may be to collect an escrow from the builder on each lot. The escrow would be used to sweep the streets if the builder . . . ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1999 Page 4 of 4 fails to do so. Councilmember Vetsch stated that the City of Rochester uses some method to maintain clean streets. The engineer and the administrator will research how other cities handle this situation and will present the information at the next Council meeting. The restoration still has not be completed satisfactorily on the Greenhaven Drainage Project. Carlson will meet with the contractor on site tomorrow to make sure the grading and reseeding is done correctly. Pat Lutz, representing the Safe Communities of Wright County, briefed the Council on the research and work being done to reduce the number of traffic accidents in the eastern part of Wright County. She asked the Council for their support by placing signs in City parking lots reminding drivers to be attentive. The Council reviewed the letter from Robert & Peggy Harlander requesting that a street light not be installed in the easement of their lot. Linda was directed to research the original petition submitted to determine if the petition asked for a street light at the intersection of 61 st Street and Kahler Drive or 61 st Street and Kalland Drive. The Council will consider the issue at the next meeting. The administrator was directed to send a letter to Otsego City Administrator Mike Robertson indicating the Council's willingness to meet jointly with the Otsego Council at the Albertville City Hall on August 30, 1999, at 7:00 PM, to discuss not only sanitary sewer, but also shared roads, the 1-94 ramp, and fire protection services. The Council scheduled a preliminary budget meeting on August 4, 1999, at 7:00 PM. The Council agreed to offer a free park rental or a refund of her payment to the person who rented the park shelter on June 2ih and found the shelter unclean. Berning made a motion to adjourn at 9:05 PM. Gundersen seconded the motion. All voted aye. ~ ff#-eL Linda Goeb, City Administrator ~f), A. Olson, Mayor I / f // CLAIMS FOR PAYMENT .
