Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to refer <br />the Preliminary Plat for Valley View back to the Planning Commission to address whether or not <br />extending 178~ Lane to the western boundary is necessary and, if so, it should not prohibit Mr. <br />Johnson from having four lots. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Hendriksen stated he would like the Planning Commission <br />to consider reasonable development of the adjacent parcel to the west should the road not be <br />extended. Mr. Johnson stated this issue was discussed at great length at the Planning <br />Commission meeting~ He stated the reason they decided on a cul-de-sac road is because the land <br />north of the County ditch is very marginal and it would be difficult to develop that land. If 178th <br />Avenue was extended to the adjoining property, there would be no other place to have a home <br />south of the road and north of the ten-acre lot to the south due to the power easement. Mr. <br />Johnson stated according to the Metropolitan Council guidelines, this area will remain in 4 in 40 <br />density and he believes the property to the west could get access from Green Valley Road since <br />the developable area land is south of the ditch and north of Green Valley Road. He explained <br />that farther to the west there is even more wetland. Based on that, this is what he and the <br />Planning Commission felt was the best arrangement and roadway plan. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Zimmerman, Hendriksen, Anderson, and <br />Connolly. Voting No: Mayor Gamec. Absent: None. <br /> <br /> <br />
