Leskinen asked whether a detennination should be <br /> made now on whether the road should be public or private. <br /> Gaffron indicated the City Council will need to make that final detennination but that a recommendation <br /> from the Planning Commission would be helpful. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended the road be constructed to public road standards so it can be adopted at some <br /> point down the line if necessary. <br /> Thiesse coinmented he is not sure it can be constructed to those standards. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it can be built to public standards on the western side. <br /> Campion indicated those homes can be moved further west. Campion stated the setbacks would become <br /> an issue if the road is built to 32 feet with a full right-of-way. <br /> Thiesse commented he would hope the City would be flexible on the setbacks if they require the wider <br /> width. <br /> Gaffron stated if the County is okay with a second access, the Planning Commission is suggesting that <br /> that portion of the road be made wider. Gaffron stated if the corridor is made wider,that would push the <br /> hoines to the west. <br /> Leinke stated if there is no secondary access,the layout would change quite a bit. <br /> Campion stated they could probably do some sort of T-turnaround if there is not a second access, which <br /> would ineet the typical einergency vehicle turnarounds. <br /> Page 24 of 32 <br />
