Brixius discussed that the two proposed lots that are not going to be developed right away will also have to follow this proposed zoning district and they will also be apart of Albertville Plaza 3 rd Addition association. They will also be responsible for the maintenance of the private streets and common areas. Commissioners discussed that Culvers is Albertville Plaza 1 st, and Good Year is Albertville Plaza 2nd. At the last meeting, the applicant only had a grading plan for the KinderCare site, not the entire development. We now have a grading plan for the entire site which gives staff an idea of how the site will generate storm water and where the ponds will be located and how they will be managed. Brixius went over the grading, utility and parking plan with the commissioners. Commissioners discussed who is to maintain the utility through private roads. Brixius said we require a drainage and utility easement where city staff can go in and repair as public utility and the property owner or association would repair the street. Commissioners discussed the private street versus public streets throughout Albertville. Commissioners discussed the grading plan for all the lots, Brixius stated that Insite will be grading the KinderCare lot, and the other two lots will be graded once they are developed. Commissioners discussed the current owners of the lot and are concerned they do not fully understand that until the two other lots are developed, they will be responsible for the private roads. Brixius stated that they are hoping they can work with the association on an alternative for the financial obligations. Brixius stated that the family’s attorney will be looking out for the best interests of the family and will work with the association contracts. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Regular Meeting on July 9, 2024 4 Commissioner Smith removed herself from the meeting at 7:30pm unexpectedly. Commissioners discussed who would be responsible for the two lots that would not be developed. Brixius informed that the owner of each lot would be responsible for the maintenance, in regards to weeds, of their own lots. Commissioners discussed the right-in turn lane, which will be put in by the developer and if it will impact lot 1 setbacks. Brixius said yes, if there is additional right-of-way that is required that will adjust the property line and that would be addressed in the final plat. Also, there is a trail area that would need to be considered also. Commissioners discussed what the traffic flow and the daycare occupancy might be with the proposed daycare.
