Case 4/6: Request For Sketch Plan Approval Of Building And Site Development On Lot 3, Block 2, Gateway North Industrial Park; Case Of Northern Die Castings, Frank W. And Virginia F. Antila: This case was deleted from the agenda because of lack of information. Case g'7: Request For Sketch Plan Review Of Cedar Acres Addition; Case of Good Value Homes And Aradco, Inc.: Mr. Banwart stated that Cedar Acres is a joint proposal by ARADCO, Inc. and Good Value Homes. The plat consists of 27 urban residential lots and 1 commercial lot on approximately 11 acres of land located south of Hunter's Hill. The development of the plat will also serve to provide a southwest access to Sunfish Lake Blvd. from Cedar Hills and Chestnut Hills. The property is currently zoned I-1 Industrial and City Staff is recommending that it be rezoned to R-1 Urban Residential, B-1 Business and Multi Family to serve as a buffer to adjacent industrial property. Commissioner Deemer noted that there is currently a Conditional Use Permit on the subject property for grading and excavating. Chairman Zimmerman noted receiving a letter from Liliana and John Heinen dated April 3, 1990, opposing the proposed plat of Cedar Acres. John Heinen - 6370 143rd Lane N.W. - Stated that he would rather the subject property remain as industrial than develop with urban size lots and small homes. The residents of Hunter's Hill have been penalized enough with the landfill and the development of low income housing being developed in his back yard does not meet his standards of acceptability. John noted that there are also drainage problems in the area. He also noted that Hunter's Hill never got the 20 foot buffer zone, trees and improvement drainage that were promised when the conditional use permit for grading and excavation was granted. Sharon Dahlgren - 6328 143rd Lane N.W. - Confh'rned that there is a serious drainage problem in the subject area. It was suggested that representatives of Cedar Acres meet with concerned residents to resolve drainage concerns. Wally Anderson of ARADCO, Inc. was present and stated that there is a sufficient amount of soil on the property and importing soils will not be necessary during the grading process. Commissioner Hendriksen stated that the Commission should be provided with a history of the conditional use permit for grading and excavating issued to the subject property and a report of the intended end use, if any, for the soil stockpiled on the property. Motion by Commissioner Hendriksen and seconded by Commissioner Terry to table sketch plan approval of the proposed Cedar Acres plat pending the submittal of additional information and a meeting between the developers and residents to address drainage concerns.
