Chairperson Anderson inquired if the Commission was reviewing the prelirnlnary for the entire site of only the townhome development. Mr. Buiow replied that the preliminary plat up for approval is only for the town.homes. Community Development Director Frolik explained that the preliminary plat would include the townhomes, apartment lot but not Re building, and the existing piece of commercial property. Kathy Gust, 14079 Dysprosium Street, Ramsey, inquired if the rezoning had already been approved. Chairperson Anderson replied no, that the item is currently tabled. Ms'. Gust stated that at the last meeting it was mentioned that the apartment complex may be developed as a senior complex, but no/king was included in the plans for a senior gathering complex. Chairperson. Anderson' replied that Mr. Bulow indicated during the last meeting that the development would not be marketed for seniors, but that his experience with this type of developments is that ihey attract seniors. Ms. Gust inquired if there was any fur~er research done regarding an access onto C.R. #116. City Engineer Jankowski replied that he did ha,~e a meeting 'with the County and discussed the possibility of having an access onto C.K. #1.16. Thc current site plan proposes to have a right-in fight-out access onto C.R. #116. During the meeting with the County they discussed the possibility of having a full access onto C.R. #116 located on the soetheastem comer of the property and the County's resp6nse was that they would prefer to have the right-in and right-out access only. In regards to the traffic study to determine if the intersection of C.R. #116 and Dysprosium could handle the additional traffic it was determined that the newly constructed turn lanes on C.K. #116 would be 200 feet and they also anticipated that there will be two lanes of traffic when the intersection becomes signal/zed that. would allow for 16 vehlcles before the intersection would become blocked which would be adequate for the additional traffic. The County Engineer aisc suggested that possibility of a Iccp connection that would allow for more green light time on Dysprosium to move traffic through during peak traffic tiraes. Chairperson Anderson inquired if a full access onto C.R. gl 16 has-been completely eliminated as a possibility. City Engineer Jankowski replied that Re full access intersection has not been ruled out, but it would not be the preference of the County. He suggested that possibility of installing a me,an that would allow left turns into the sight from C.R. #116, but no left tums from ~e site onto C.R. #116.
