OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Chairperson Greg Fargen called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order on
Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of the City &
County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken, James Drew, Alan Johnson, Gregg
Jorgenson, Charles Siver, Kristi Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen, Lee Ann Pierce and Fargen. Also present
were City Planner Staci Bungard, Community Development Director Mike Struck, and others
Item #4a — This is a final plat to create one additional lot by placing a lot line along the common wall
of a two-family dwelling. This property is located at the intersection of Dean Ct. and Craig Ct. The
twin -home is currently under construction and the owner would like the flexibility to sell each unit
individually. Rasmussen asked if the easements include the common wall. Lanning explained that
generally the easements are located around the perimeter of the lot.
Item #4b— This is final plat approval of 11 residential lots. The developer is currently working to
install the street extension of necessary infrastructure improvements. The right-of-way for Blue Bell
Drive has already been platted. The preliminary plat was approved in June of 2018. The preliminary
plat did show six lots along the north side of Blue Bell Drive and the Final Plat shows two larger lots.
The number of lots is decreasing, however, the overall density may or may not change. Staff will
review all building permits to ensure the requirements of the R-3 District and secondary access
provisions are met.
Pierce questioned the location of the detention pond. She had a citizen pose the question as to why
Planning and Zoning is allowing a detention pond along Main Ave. S. Bungard explained that right
now in the regulations, there isn't anything that would prevent a drainage pond being installed along a
right-of-way. Struck explained that this is 100 foot right-of-way. When the Main Ave. S. project was
completed, they obtained adequate right-of-way and the city would be able to expand to a five lane
roadway if this were to happen in the future. Pierce asked if the preliminary plat showed this detention
pond along the right-of-way, Lanning explained that it was on the preliminary plat and the Planning
Commission did approve this.
Item #4c— The applicant is looking for final plat approval for two lots for individual ownership and
one lot for common area. This property is located in "The Landing" development in the Prairie Hills
Addition.
Item #5a— Drew, Aiken and Fargen have volunteered to be on the Nominating Committee.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15p.m.
