<br />Blaine Edmundson, 4937 l42nd Lane NW. Mr. Edmundson stated that his concerns are run off <br />into the wetlands and he does not think there is enough space to build. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the applicant has compacted the building to a limited area and <br />this is possible because of the limited number of parking spaces needed. These are all items that <br />Staff will address with Planning Commission and City Council when a site plan application is <br />received. At this meeting it is the sketch plan that is being reviewed for a subdivision to convey <br />the property to Mr. Foster. <br /> <br />Tom Roof, 14369 Waco Street NW. Mr. Roof stated he would like less multiple housing in the <br />city and more single family houses. There will be traffic problems; turning left at Holiday is <br />difficult when more than three cars are at the stop light. A left turn arrow at the light was to be <br />installed at the closing of 142nd and that hasn't been done. <br /> <br />Julie Johnson, 14252 Waco Street NW. Ms. Johnson is concerned about the future of the park <br />and that more park land would be taken for development. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the City is not interested in developing the park. The 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan has it designated as a park. <br /> <br />Mr. George showed a park map where the land that is being subdivided is a park. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the official zoning map is the land use tool for the city. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated she is a resident on Waco Street and may be abstaining from the <br />vote. She stated that while running for office she received comments that seniors in our <br />community have no place to go, they have to leave the community. She advised that this is a <br />good opportunity to talk with Mr. Foster, the developer, talk to City Council members to <br />encourage them to get a housing unit there that you could be comfortable with. <br /> <br />Bruce Mattson, 4967 l42nd Lane NW. Mr. Mattson was concerned with the site location map. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill explained the process of creating the site location map. <br /> <br />Mr. Mattson is concerned that future development will happen as he has seen in Anoka, and that <br />the park will not continue to be park land. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that he understands that this property has not been dedicated las park, so <br />there is nothing to prohibit the City from further subdividing the piece of property. He <br />questioned what the process would be to have the City dedicate it as park. l <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that restrictive covenants could be placed on the park. <br />Landowners would petition the City and work with the Public Works Departme t and the <br />Planning Division could help as well. He stated he would be glad to work as a liaison. This <br />I <br /> <br />Planning Commission/April 2, 2009 <br />Page 11 of 13 <br />
