MINUTES OF THE <br /> OROlvO PLANNIIYG COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> 2. Final approvals should include clear documentation of the re-oriented yard requirements for <br /> Lots 1 and 6. <br /> 3. If the Planning Commission desires to have the developer provide for future road connections, <br /> that will have an impact on the development layout and may require tabling. <br /> Gaffron stated the Planning Commission should hold the public hearing and receive comments from the <br /> public. <br /> Landgraver asked what was decided on Stubbs Bay regarding the connecting road. <br /> Gaffron noted that application was a sketch plan and not a preliminary plat. In that case it would have <br /> been an extension of an existing road for the primary access. The need for whether a secondary access <br /> out to Stubbs Bay Road was not totally conclusive at the end of the meeting. Gaffron stated in his view <br /> the Council was generally accepting of the fact there would not be a secondary access point, but given <br /> that there was the potential for a future outlot that was remaining undeveloped, a secondary access point <br /> could be created at some point in the future. <br /> Matt Hanish, Homestead Partners, stated they are proposing creating four new lots, in addition to the two <br /> existing lots, for six single-family lots with a private cul-de-sac street. The development is conforming <br /> with the guiding for the area and the wetland delineation has been approved by the Watershed District. <br /> Buffers will be created around each of the wetlands. <br /> Currently there are three access points off of Old Crystal Bay Road North. The proposed plat reduces the <br /> number of street connections at the existing public street down to one. Each lot will have their own <br /> private well and septic system. The price range for the homes will be between$1.2 to $1.5 million. <br /> Hanish displayed the proposed plat and landscape plan. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the previous use of the southern parcel off of Stubbs Road has created any <br /> environmental issues. <br /> Hanish stated they are not aware of any environmental issues at this time. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the City has any requirements for an environmental assessment. <br /> Gaffron stated there are no city requirements, but Staff would suggest the applicants complete a Phase I <br /> review of the site. Gaffron stated compaction of the soil may be the biggest issue from past construction <br /> activity, and if there is anything, it would primarily be materials and not chemicals. Gaffron stated in his <br /> view it is worth looking at but there is nothing specific that stands out as an issue. <br /> Thiesse asked about connecting to the road to the south. <br /> Hanish stated they did look at the idea of connecting the existing right-of-way on the southern property <br /> into the cul-de-sac, but the issue they found is that it would bifurcate the site. Hanish stated they would <br /> still be able to maintain the septic sites and still be able to create a building pad on the site, but the issue is <br /> that it becomes a 1.8 acre lot that does not meet the 2-acre requirement. Hanish stated they would then <br /> require a variance to allow a smaller lot on the site. <br /> Page 32 of 53 <br />
