Commissioner Dempsey inquired as to what the proposed time table is to come in with a plan for <br />the apartments. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow replied that his assumption is that they would make application this fall. <br /> <br />Commissioner'Dempsey stated thai one issue in regards to traffic is with the apartments, and the <br />Commission needs to continue addressing that issue. He stated that he is not satisfied with the <br />traffic flow in conjunction with the entrance along C.R. #116 and suggested that staff lobby a <br />position with the County to force what the City feels would bean appropriate access. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow replied that he would prefer to have a full access intersection, but explained the <br />concerns of the county regarding the full access. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dempsey inquired if the site plan is approved would it lock the City into <br />committing to a specific type of access along C.R. #116 or could they revisit the issue at a later <br />date. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that the C.R. #116 access could be revisited as <br />part of the site plan for the apartments. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski noted that the County has control over C.R. #116 and could put a <br />divided median all the way down that would prevent a full-access intersection. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow stated that he would prefer a full access to the site and would be willing to work with <br />the City on approaching the County regarding the issue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt staled that he did not want to move forward with the rezoning until he is <br />comfortable with the plat. <br /> <br />Jim Johnson, Hakanson Anderson, stated that staff has proceeded with the guidelines received <br />from County, but noted staff and will not get a definite answer until there is a plan presented to <br />the County. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson inquired if the apartment site is adequate for sale. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow replied that an access from C.R. #116 and Barium Street would make the site <br />adequate to make it a saleable property. He stated that if Commission would like to see changes <br />to the site plan he would like those recommendations and then work with staffto make sure those <br />changes are accomplished and then move forward to the Council to get their recommendation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen replied that the issue should be brought back to the Planning Commission <br />with alternatives for them to review. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow requested that the Commission forward their recommendation to the Council. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 20, 2000 <br /> Page 13 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
