Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, April 5, 2018 Page 2 Mr. Dempsey briefly explained the revised plans that were handed out at tonight’s meeting. The design of the rain garden is slightly larger and that affects the tree preservation plan, which changes from 6 trees to 10 trees being removed. The size of the lots and grading has not changed. Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey stated that the property is part of the metes and bounds described Appaloosa Farm subdivision created in the 1960’s. The property proposed for preliminary and final plat is located at 19455 Iteri Avenue. The existing home is planned to be removed to allow the construction of four new single family homes on the proposed four lots. Mr. Dempsey explained the encroachment of the house located at 9894 – 194th Street and the lot line adjustments that are proposed with this plat, which are described in detail in the March 30, 2018 planning report. The Iteri Addition preliminary plat meets the requirements for lot area and lot width. The proposed custom graded house pads have adequate building pad areas that meet lot area, lot width and building setback requirements. Mr. Dempsey stated that the grading plan proposes custom grading so an individual lot tree preservation plan will be required with the building permit for each lot. Mr. Dempsey indicated that the proposed landscape plan identifies the type of landscaping to be incorporated into the proposed rain garden located at the southeast corner of Lot 4. The proposed rain garden is designed to allow on-site drainage to filter stormwater and infiltrate into the soil prior to overflowing into the public stormwater system. Mr. Dempsey stated that staff recommends approval of the Iteri Addition preliminary plat, subject to the six stipulations listed in the March 30, 2018 planning report. Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment. Randy Knippel, 9925 Iteri Court Mr. Knippel was glad to see that the incorrect property monumentation issue was being corrected with the Iteri Addition plat so that the existing encroachments will be eliminated. Motion was made by Kelvie, seconded by Reuvers to close the public hearing at 6:14 p.m. Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes – unanimous Chair Swenson asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, April 5, 2018 Page 3 • Commissioner Jarvis asked staff when curb and gutter would go in on Iteri Avenue. Mr. Morey commented that the upgrade of Iteri Avenue to an urban section is not in the CIP. Adjacent property owners would be responsible for a portion of the cost of the upgrade. It is not likely to happen in the foreseeable future. • Chair Swenson acknowledged the property line issue and indicated that it was not uncommon to find these errors, especially in older subdivisions, but he was glad that it was being corrected with the platting process. • Agreed that the custom grading for each lot is better than mass grading in this situation. More trees can be saved with custom grading. Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Kelvie to recommend to City Council approval of the Iteri Addition preliminary plat subject to the following six stipulations: 1. Implementation of the recommendations listed in the March 29, 2018 engineering report. 2. Written authorization is required from the owners of 9894 194th Street and 9900 194th Street to adjust the east boundaries of each parcel as described in the planning report. 3. All existing overhead utilities shall be placed underground. Any new utilities shall be place underground. 4. If the existing house is to be demolished, a demolition permit shall be required. If the house is to be moved from the property, the house moving shall be in compliance with all state and local requirements. 5. The water well shall be properly abandoned and sealed in compliance with state and local requirements. Any septic structure located on the property shall be removed prior to issuance of building permits for the four new single family lots. 6. Custom grading and tree preservation plans are required with building permits prior to construction on each lot. Ayes: Kelvie, Lillehei, Swenson, Reuvers, Jarvis Nays: 0 7.
