they compared them with Towne Lakes.Anderson asked if the Fire Chief reviewed these
plans and Brixius stated that he has.Anderson also brought up the traffic study that was
discussed last October when this project was presented to them. Brixius stated that the

Terry Madsen, an Albertville resident, approached the podium. He lives on 53rd Street Ne,
North of the development. Terry has concern of water run off for this proposed
development. His sump pump already is running constantly and would like to know the
grading and drainage plan. Brixius brought up the grading and drainage site plan exhibit to
review with the resident. Brixius stated that our City Engineer is in the process of
reviewing these plans to make sure that they meet all the requirements needed for proper
drainage. Madsen is wondering what would stop them from selling these homes
individually. Brixius stated that this proposed development is a rental development and all
units will be rentals. If they are ever to look at selling individual lots they would need to
establish a CIC (common interest community) which would need to be reviewed and
approved by our City Attorney. Madsen is also concerned with the traffic that this
development could create.
Alice Manuel, an Albertville resident, approached the podium. She lives on Main Ave Ne,
East of the development. Manuel is wondering why they need to put so many houses, she
believes that the area should be more like 50 rather than the proposed 70.
Ian Peterson approached the podium in response to Manuel's question. He stated that due
to the economics of the project and in order to have the development run successfully, 70
units is the lowest number they can go for the number of houses.
