Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Chairman Grohoski. called for final plat review of Lakeview Heights, located south of 185th St W and east of Hiway 50. Mr. Robinette said that the items in the recommendation have been covered. in the development agreement with the exception o£ the easement with Northwestern Bell, which has not been required in the past and City Council decided. they would. not require it at this time:. The other things are covered in the development agreement, but City Council felt we would not put in any access to the park at this time.,.. the. park deg,t:.,wants cash, and any access would be into one of the outlots, so wording in the. dev- elopment agreement will be that if another access is required the developer will be required to provide such. Chairman Grohoski asked if the applicant had anything to say and Mr. Jerry Everson stated he was not in agreement. with the. landscape plan, that he didn't understand it. Mr. Licht said there would be full screening, approximately 20 trees .and 125 shrubs suggested for the berms. Heald asked if Mr. Draper had been given the plans for the drainage, as he had asked, and Mr. Kriz said he had. Chairman Grohoski said the applicant wrote a letter to the City Council con- cerning the public hearing, with an accusation made about the tabling of this final plat being inappropriate. The reasons were more than two-fold. It was not on our agenda and there was no_indication given prior to the meeting that there was a final plat to be considered. There were documents missing that were usual and necessary for making this determination. Chairman Grohoski takes umbrage to the- letter that was written and didn't vote. for the tabling of the final plat simply because he is a developer and a neighbor of .this pro- ject. He feels that the City has been very cooperativeat all times and has done everything passible to accommodate this developer. .Lakeville, Minnesota Planning Commission Meeting • July 21, 1983 Mr. Everson said he thought it was on the agenda and they were not the ones that brought: it up.
