SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on May 3, 2011, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall. Members present were Wayne Avery, Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna
DeKraai, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, John Sydow, and Heuton. John Gustafson
was absent. Others present were John Folkerts, Community Development
Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #5 – John Folkerts presented three (3) sketch plans regarding the
subdividing of his acreage. He was looking for feedback from the Commission
before proceeding to a preliminary plat design. All the lots were ½ acre or more
in size due to the lack of a public sewer system available to the acreage. The
design was also influenced by the existing house. A large lot was planned for the
house, and adjacent lots could be sold with the house if a buyer were
interested. A separate lot had also been created to include the machine shop
and barn.
Concept plan 1 had a 30 foot wide half-street along the north lot line. This
plan would require cooperation from the abutting land owner to dedicate 30
feet of his land for a street.
Concept plan 2 showed a 60 foot wide local street along the north lot
line. This would be the only access from Western Avenue to connect to the ½
acre-plus lots to the east.
Concept plan 3 had the same 60 foot wide street as concept plan 1 had
but added an additional access to Western Avenue. This provided a loop that
would serve as an alternative route from the lots.
Folkerts added that his plan would align with another acreage to the
south. Both sketch plans would match with the Pine Avenue right-of-way in the
River Ridge Addition.
Cameron indicated a preference toward concept plan 3 because
access into the acreage was the best of the three options. He also noted that

retention/detention plans would be required at some point. Lanning responded
that a stormwater drainage plan would be needed when the preliminary plat
was submitted. Folkerts noted that the pond on the acreage covered about ½
acre and was about 15 feet deep. He indicated that most of the run-off would
be directed to the pond. Folkerts stated he would return at a future meeting
with a plan based on the Commission’s recommendations.
Item #6 – A midterm review of residential, business, and industrial growth
patterns, natural barriers or obstacles to growth, population projection models,
and other data was presented to the Commission. In addition, an urban activity
center concept was introduced as a land use alternative for urban renewal. The
review will continue throughout the year as more data is compiled.
The meeting was adjourned.
