Wally Anderson noted that the developers of Cedar Acres are responsible for the runoff <br />from that plat and the drainage plan must be approved by the City's engineer. <br /> <br />John Heinen stated that the City used poor planning in letting Hunter's Hill develop near <br />the landfill and in an Industrial zone; the City should not make the same mistaken again and <br />let another residential neighborhood develop in this area. <br /> <br />John Peterson of Good Valu Homes stated that the developers do not want to purchase <br />property and develop Cedar Acres but are doing so to provide an access from Chestnut <br />Hills/Cedar Hills to Sunfish Lake Blvd., south of Hunter's Hill, to resolve concerns <br />initiated by residents of Hunter's Hill. <br /> <br />Sharon Dahlgren inquired if the proposed plat of Cedar Hills still includes constructing <br />144th as a through street into Hunter's Hill. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman stated that he did not know the status of 144th but agrees it should <br />not be constructed as a through street. Chairman Zimmerman commented that he believes <br />the residents of Hunter's Hill would rather have residential development than heavy <br />industrial use take place adjacent to them. <br /> <br />John Heinen expressed concern that small homes are developed on small lots and that <br />urban size lots abutting one acre lots would have a negative impact on the value of the one <br />acre lots; suggested developing Cedar Acres with 1/2 acre lots. <br /> <br />John Peterson stated that it is not economically feasible to develop 1/2 acre lots with sewer, <br />water, streets and curb. In addition, if larger lots are developed, the buyers would have <br />less funds remaining to invest in the homes developed on the lots. <br /> <br />Another resident stated that he feels the development of urban size lots next to one acre lots <br />will increase the desirability and value of the one acre lots. <br /> <br />John Peterson referred to John Heinen's concern with the quality of homes to be built in <br />Cedar Acres and stated that it is difficult to build any home for less than $80,000; the same <br />type of homes proposed to be developed in Cedar Hills and Chestnut Hills will be offered <br />in Cedar Acres. <br /> <br />John Heinen stated that he would rather have the property adjacent to his develop with <br />industrial uses rather than residential uses. <br /> <br />John Peterson stated that if he and Wally Anderson develop Cedar Acres, the least <br />expensive homes they build would increase values in Hunter's Hill. <br /> <br />John Heinen agreed that he really would have homes rather than industrial uses developed <br />adjacent to his property. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka reviewed the status of Bud Sauter's grading and mining permit on the <br />property adjacent to Hunter's Hill; he indicated that he believes the permit expires in 1992. <br /> <br />Phillip Dahlgren doubted that homes adjacent to an active grading and mining pit could be <br />marketed. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Commission/April 17, 1990 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
