SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Vice-chairperson Greg Fargen called the regular meeting of the City
Planning Commission to order on February 7, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Council
Chamber at City Hall. Members present were David Kurtz, Stacey Howlett, Mike
Cameron, Al Gregg, Al Heuton, and Fargen. John Gustafson, Larry Fjeldos, and
Curt Ness were absent. Others present were Scott Hodges, Keith Rounds, Dean
Gulbranson, Peter Mork, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Planning Administrator
Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #3 – Hanson reviewed the previous designs and noted that the plan was a
partial revision of three blocks. Scott Hodges asked where the stormwater
detention would be. Lanning replied that Lot 10 in Block 11 and an area in the
southwest corner of the unplatted portion of Block 8 were proposed. She added
that the preliminary drainage plan was not approved yet for the basin.
Item #4 – Hanson summarized the street design, land design, open space, and
grading plan elements of the proposal. Heuton asked what the expected
density would be in the anticipated high-density area. Hanson responded that
approximately 45 to 55 units would likely be accommodated in the 3.5 acres.
Cameron remarked that the Vision 2020 Plan indicated residential uses for
this area. Lanning commented that the preliminary drainage plan had been
approved.
Item #5a – The plat matched the preliminary plan. Easements and a final
drainage plan were pending. A minor change in the radius of the eyebrow on
Primrose Drive was recommended.
Item #5b – Kurtz asked if the final drainage plan was approved. Lanning replied
yes.
Item #5c – Cameron asked where the stormwater run-off would go. Lanning
replied south along Camelot Drive and Christine Avenue, west along 15th Street
South, and then into the existing drainageway that leads to the City’s retention
ponds.

Item #6 – Dean Gulbranson, co-owner of the property, stated the plan for the
R-3 land was not finalized. The south and east sides of the R-2 area would
possibly be twinhomes with the northwest area next to the wetlands planned for
single-family dwellings.
Keith Rounds, a neighbor, favored an extension of the R-1B zoning along
the north side so it matched with the zoning on his property. Cameron noted,
however, that a large R-3 District was adjacent to Rounds on the west and felt
the R-2 was appropriate. Kurtz recommended that the drainage channel area
be identified as Ag since it was not part of the zoning proposal.
Item #7 – Peter Mork of Prairieland Partnership stated the apartment would
contain one and two bedroom units. Hanson noted that the plan indicated
underground parking and surface parking at the rear of the lot. Gregg inquired
about the run-off from the site. Lanning replied that a final drainage plan would
be required prior to approval of the building permit application. Cameron asked
about traffic congestion on the street. Hanson responded if that occurred,
options would be to consider removing parking from one or both sides of the
street.
Fargen inquired about the unit density of the project. Hanson replied that
apartments in the area generally had 18 units per acre, but no specific unit per
acre density was in the ordinance for apartments in the B-2 District.
Item #8- Heuton asked what the potential density was for a development with
this proposal. Hanson replied that the R-2 District generally permitted five to
eight units per acre depending upon whether the plans were for one-family or
two-family dwellings. Cameron felt the zoning was appropriate given the R-3
District to the north and the R-1B District to the south.
Item #10 – The Commission was given the Growth Areas Map and Future Land
Use Map excerpts from the Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan. These maps and
other parts of the plan would be reviewed when time allowed. Hanson
referenced some of the unique elements of the original Comprehensive Plan
from 1966 and explained how some proposals were implemented and others
were not.
The meeting was adjourned.
