Pam Rossing, Ramsey - stated she would like the cul-de-sacs to remain in the plat as she is planning to buy one of the lots.

Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the request for a revised preliminary plat of River Bluffs P.U.D. along with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Park and Recreation Commission and the Department of Natural Resources.

Case #2: Request for Revised Preliminary Plat Approval of Hunter's Ridge Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.); Case of Gerald Bauer Ms. Frolik reported that on June 11, 1991, City Council granted final plat approval to Hunter's Ridge P.U.D. Since the final plat approval, the developer has staked the roads and found that a revision to the street alignments would be necessary to avoid areas with heavy tree growth and drastic changes in topography. There was also a through street connection with Baugh Street N.W. planned for in the northwest corner of the plat. However, the developer has been unsuccessful in acquiring the necessary right-of-way for that through street connection from the property owner. Mr. Jankowski presented the revisions and summarized them as follows: a) Tiger Street N.W. would be realigned 10 feet to the east to avoid heavy tree growth; b) the wolverine Street N.W. cul-de-sac would be realigned very slightly to the west to avoid heavy tree growth; c) 167th Avenue N.W. would be realigned approximately 70 feet to the north to avoid drastic topography changes; d) creation of two short cul-de-sacs, one interior to Block 2 and the other in the area of Lots 7 and 8 of Block 4, that would accommodate walk-out style homes that are best suited to the varying topos in those two areas; 3) the connection with Baugh Street N.W. will be a northwesterly extension of Andrie Street N.W. rather than a westerly extension of 168th. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the revised preliminary plat and direct the developer to proceed to submit the necessary documents to request a revised final plat approval of Hunter's Ridge P.U.D.
