Further Discussion: Commissioner Hendriksen noted that providing vehicle access to Outlot A shifts that portion of the trail system to the East and inquired if that shift includes any significant topography change. Mr. Otto replied that the proposed trail alignment to the East contains no significant topographical change. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Zimmerman, Commissioners Bawden, Deemer, Hendriksen, LaDue, Terry and Thorud. Voting No: None. Case #5: Request for sketch plan review of Faye Addition; case of Faye Construction, B.B. Chapman. Mr. Merland Otto stated that since the August 7, 1990 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the applicant has met with Mr. Raatikka and himself to review point of concern raised with respect to park dedication for Faye Addition. Mr. Otto stated that it is agreed that the developer wants to meet park dedication requirements by land rather than cash. Mr. Otto stated that with respect to park dedication calculations, the applicant is basing their park dedication proposal on the amount of acreage for each of the individual uses excluding outlots and City staff is basing park dedication calculations on the overall gross acreage. Mr. Otto stated that the applicant's park dedication proposal may well meet the City's requirements since the applicant is currently in negotiations with Anoka County regarding the acquisition of Outlot A and B for County Park property. Mr. B.B. Chapman was present representing Faye Construction and stated that lot size requirements and lot width requirements have been resolved with Mr. Otto and Mr. Raatikka. Chairman Zimmerman noted that DNR's review letter dated August 16, 1990 indicates that the lot size required in this area is 20,000 square feet with a width of 125 feet. Mr. Otto explained that it appears DNR is basing their review letter on the City's Critical River Ordinance that was adopted in 1985. Evidently, DNR has not been provided with a copy of the City's amendment to that Ordinance adopted in 1988 which reduced the square footage requirements. Mr. Chapman referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission's concern regarding providing for future access to the adjacent Kelly property to the West. Mr. Chapman stated that the developers are willing to provide easements for access to the Kelly property on the preliminary plat for Faye Addition. However, if the Kelly property is acquired by Anoka County for park land, the developers of Faye Addition would prefer not to have a County park land access adjacent to residential lots and would request that the requirement for access to the Kelly property be deleted from the plat and that access to the County Park will be a County matter. Commissioner Deemer stated that he is adamant that commercial activity not be developed any farther that 1000 feet southerly along Highway #10. Commissioner Deemer stated that he is still opposed to proposing multi-family residential development in Faye Addition, immediately adjacent to single family residential lots in Riverside West. Commissioner Deemer stated that he is also not in favor of excluding outlots in the calculation of park dedication. Mr. Chapman stated that the applicants have proposed multi-family residential because it is compatible with airport zoning and it is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan as far as the need to supply housing choices in the City. Mr. Otto explained that the applicants are operating on the premise that City Council did approve proceeding with airport improvements which would include airport zoning. Commissioner Deemer stated that to plat subdivisions based on the current Council's plans for the airport would be premature until after the November election. Commissioner Hendriksen questioned how multi-family residential could be compatible with airport zoning. Mr. Otto explained that the portion of Faye Addition proposed for multi-family Planning and Zoning Commission/September 4, 1990 Page 6 of 14
