Mr. Bjerstedt replied no. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon noted that the garage doors would not be visible from the existing <br />backyards. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak noted that there is currently a significant berm along those properties that <br />will not be removed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen inquired as to how long the driveways would be. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt replied approximately 40 feet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen inquired if it would be a single driveway for two units. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt replied yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that no additional parking is being added by the change. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt replied that that was true, but it did eliminate the concern of the driveways being <br />too short. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that she had two concerns about the driveways, one was the <br />length and the other was that there was very little off-street parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt noted that they were not losing any parking spaces. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if a site plan amendment required notification to the <br />neighboring property owners. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that site plans don't require public hearings. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if any green space was being lost with the change. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon explained that there would be a loss of some green space between the <br />units, but not outside of the actual townhouse lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt noted that there would also be a lot less asphalt in the front of the homes. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Pearson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to approve the amended <br />site plan for the Village of Sunfish Lake Planned Unit Development subject to compliance with <br />City staff review letter dated June 20, 2003. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
