Re: Review of Preliminary Plat of "ALBERTVILLE CROSSING"
Dear Linda,
We would like to take this opportunity to address some of the comments of Alan Brixius
and Brad Digre of Northwest Associated Consultants. We agree with most of the items
mentioned with the following comments.
We go along with adjusting the Multi -Family Zoning to R-4 but feel that all issues will be
addressed at the Planned Unit Development Site Plan Review. All specific issues will be
reviewed closely by staff, consultants, Planning Commission, and Council. Knowing the
parameters of the R-4 Zoning allows us to be more precise in our Site Plan and all its
ingredients. We will be able to work with the townhome builder with a specific design to
meet all criteria for the R-4 Zone and spend the time and money far all the drawings
necessary for an exact site plan review for the city. The P.U.D.JC,U.P. Site Plan is the
instrument for detailed review of proposed townhomes that will be owner occupied,
We do not feel a neighborhood park is needed at the location mentioned, A large City
Park is being added to with the addition of the "Fire Station" property purchased from the
Marx Family. We are not opposed to park trails in the development if they are located
strategically for pedestrian traffic flow and designed so we do not lose single family lots.
A park trail does not break up it vehicular block length. It only breaks up lot and block
numbering on paper.
We do not believe a street connection is needed between Landers and Lachman Avenues.
Traffic will flow adequately to the north to 57T� Street which will be an 80tt right-of-way
collector street. The existing development to the south addresses its owni east -west trafTic
flow.
