SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Vice-chairperson Justin Hyde called the regular meeting of the City
Planning Commission to order on June 5, 2007 at 7:00 PM in the Council
Chamber at City Hall. Members present were Dave Kurtz, Greg Fargen,
Sandra Moore, Curt Ness, and Hyde. John Gustafson, Mike Cameron, Larry
Fjeldos, and Sean O’Brien were absent. Also present were Allan Austreim,
Marlys Houtman, Donna Steenson, Spencer Degen, Scott Hodges, Dean
Gulbranson, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #5 (a-f) – Hanson summarized the six plats and noted that no
contingencies were needed in their approval.
Item #5 (g and h) – Hanson remarked that both plats involved frontage lots
along arterial streets. Therefore, restricted access easements were
recommended as a contingency for approval.
Item #6 – Austreim stated the house had four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
He felt the extra tenant would provide the funds necessary to improve the
property.
Marlys Houtman, a neighbor, felt traffic would increase, and there
would be insufficient parking for visitors. Donna Steenson, another neighbor,
concurred with Houtman.
Fargen inquired if the regulations for a four person boardinghouse were
met with this application. Hanson replied yes. Hyde asked if the alley parking
space was hardsurfaced. Austreim replied no, but the three spaces by the
garage were hardsurfaced. Hyde inquired if the tenants would use the
garage for parking. Austreim replied yes. Fargen questioned if the property
would be used for rental purposes whether or not a boardinghouse use was
approved. Austreim responded that it would.
Item #7 – The petitioners or their representatives were not present.
Item #8 – Hanson summarized the changes from the July 2006 Site Plan. The
private driveway onto Prince Drive would be shifted east about 400 feet, a
detention pond would be established, and a parking lot would be installed
on land recently acquired by Daktronics from MTR.
Lanning indicated that the detention pond would be installed as
shown on the plan. Another detention would be created further south in the
future.
Hanson noted that the information provided by Daktronics indicated
that fewer trees than required would be planted. Spencer Degen, Facilities
Manager, stated that the minimum tree requirements could be met.
Hyde asked if the proposed access alignment was acceptable to the
city. Lanning responded yes. Hyde inquired if the minimum tree requirements
would be met by Daktronics. Degen replied yes.
Item #9 Scott Hodges, representing BlairHill Properties, Inc., stated the land
use plan for this area would include a townhouse concept. Kurtz inquired if
the plan were different than the preliminary plan. Hanson responded no. He
added that the three (3) blocks and park land were part of the rezoning
request. The single-family lots were to the north. Hyde noted that the street
along the north side would act as a buffer to the low-density district.
Item #10 – Hanson summarized the various elements of the subdivision
design. Lanning commented that the preliminary drainage plan had been
approved.
Hanson noted that a future street on the south side of 20th Street South
would likely be offset less than the 125 foot minimum from Ashford Drive.
However, priority is usually granted to the plan that is submitted first.
Therefore, the future location of adjacent streets would be reviewed as new
plans were submitted. Hyde asked about open space and stormwater
detention. Hanson remarked that Fishback Soccer Park was nearby and
could function as a neighborhood park in addition to a special use park. The
detention pond could also serve as open space since it would not be
designed to hold storm water except after rains.
The meeting was adjourned.
