The Planning Commission recommended <br />approval of the preliminary plat and PRD. <br />The applicant, Bill Glea.son, had no commer.'s at this time. <br />Flint questioned the T easement of right-of-way dedication to Shoreline Drive. He noted <br />he Hermepin County bike trail plan and questioned whether this easement is the place <br />for a iKe trail It is currently noted for use by utilities only. He questioned whether <br />there is room for a bike trail on the southern edge of the property. Van Zomeren said it <br />can be reviewed by the City Engineer and resolution can be amended for a trail if <br />requested. She indicated the Hennepin County right-of-way agent is requesting the same <br />amount of easement as utilities companies have. <br />Jabbour asked if the City wants a T or 10 ’ trail. He noted the park dedication fee would <br />have to be adjusted if that was the case. He asked if Gleason understood. Gleason said <br />he w^ working through it. Flint noted the trail would have to be 10 ’ or 12 ’ questioning <br />whether the location was feasible for a trail without getting into wetlands. Gleason said <br />he did not believe there was adequate room for a trail in that location. <br />Flint questioned the determination of 30 units in the zoning district.

Barrett said he would review the matter but believed it is <br />mandatory. Kelley felt too much structure was being squeezed in but would comply if <br />required. <br />Kelley asked how many townhomes were located to the east of this subdivision. Van <br />omeren did not have that number. Kelley said he would like to know as the <br />subdivision would add traffic through a lower density neighborhood. He suspected the <br />property to the east has more dry buildable and has only 24-26 duplex units. Jabbour <br />noted that a credit is received for the wetland. Kelley said he understood that, noting <br />that was the reason for asking Barrett the question on allowing an increased density. <br />Jabbour noted that sewered areas are reviewed differently from non-sewered areas.
