Principal Planner Trudgeon stated that with a 50-foot right of way, you are losing greenspace. <br />He stated that one of the challenges Staff is up against is the policy makers have not made a <br />decision on parking rules on private streets. <br /> <br />Commissioner Reeve asked if they were leaning toward 20 feet for the one ways. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated that was what had been proposed the first time, than they were <br />narrowed. <br /> <br />Mr. Kangas indicated this became critical in two ways; they could make the green space smaller <br />in the association, but 60 feet right-of-ways in the public areas would make the lots too small. <br />He thought he had heard that 16 feet on the one-ways was okay. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated it was the Planning Commission's responsibility to sort this out. <br />He indicated that the current plan is not acceptable with Staff, which is why he voted against it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if they could propose 28 feet on public streets, 24 feet on the 200 foot <br />stretch of private road and 20 feet on the one-ways, or 32 feet without the median. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked if the median was okay if it was surmountable. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated it would depend on how high the snow is. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked how critical the median was. <br /> <br />Mr. Bjerstedt indicated it was intended to look nice and have landscaping. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked where Chairperson Nixt was at with the proposal. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated he was having second thoughts and was not sure it was ready to move <br />forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated it could be worked up between now and the City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated that working it up with a four-foot road change would be a challenge <br />and could cause a dramatic change to layout. He fells the Commission needs to review it again <br />before it goes to the City Council. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked if it was turned down here, it would go to Council. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon stated it would go to Council as being recommended for denial by <br />the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/February 6, 2003 <br /> Page 20 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
