The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. Hilbelink was present. Mabusth explained that the application is for a 4 -lot residential plat of the former Rosch homestead at the northeast quadrant of Watertown Road and Old Crystal Bay Road. The property contains a type 1 wetland. All lots meet the 2 -acre dry contiguous and width requirements. The on -site septic has been found to be conforming. All are proposed as mound systems located on slopes less than 6 %. The Planning Commission conceptually approved access for three lots from a private road with a cul -de -sac. Lot 4's access will be from an existing curb cut off Watertown. Road. A road could be platted along the east lot line with each of the 4 lots meeting area and width standards. The access plan was chosen in order to save trees, reduce the grading impact on elevations, and minimize impact on existing development to east. If a road was constructed at east lot line with four lots in the Peterman addition and three in current development would be through lots. Conditional use permits would be required for all accessory structures. The development must provide retention areas before runoff can enter the type 1 wetland. A retention pond is within lots 3 and 4 and drainage flows between the shared line of lots 2 and 3. Mabusth included the draft of the Park Commission minutes regarding the Hilbelink property for a decision on park dedication fee or land for park use. The Park Commission recommended to the Council to ask for cash in lieu of land. They asked that the land in the 8' trail be excluded from the 8% and the fee adjusted. The trail along Old Crystal Bay Road on the west side is being installed by the City. isThere were no public comments.
