Commission Business <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if this parcel was zoned R -1 Residential if a transition zone would <br />be required. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated buffering would be necessary and the City did <br />not have a landscaping plan at this time. He indicated staff could look at different alignments for <br />the proposed lots. <br />Chairperson Levine requested comment from the applicant. <br />Don Kveton, owner of Village Bank, 5750 177 Avenue, explained Village Bank has owned this <br />property for several years and after the site has not sold, he was proposing to build homes. He <br />stated new home sales were on the rise and he hoped to make the proposal work. <br />Curt Lano, Lano Equipment, expressed concern that the subject property was currently zoned E -1 <br />Employment. He feared that if single - family homes were placed on this proposed parcel, that the <br />future residents would be bothered by the adjacent industrial properties. He recommended the <br />City also decide how the frontage road would be handled prior to considering this single - family <br />development. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill requested comment from the applicant on the range of <br />housing prices for this parcel. <br />Mr. Kveton anticipated that the home prices would vary with the values increasing for the homes <br />on river. He reported the homes would be built to meet the needs of the buyers. <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented the Mississippi River Trail currently follows the contours of <br />the property. He asked if the trail location would change. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated the trail location would not be altered, but the <br />building pads would be increased in height. <br />Commissioners questioned how the Highway 10 Access Study could impact this parcel. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated the Highway 10 Access Study had just finished <br />its first phase and feedback had been provided to the City through an open house in 2013. From <br />this point, Bolton & Menk was directed to provide lower costs and incremental improvements to <br />meet the City's vision. He reported a second open house was held and additional adjustments <br />would be made to the plans. He discussed the potential need for a frontage or backage road for <br />local businesses along Highway 10. He commented the Highway 10 Access Study was not final <br />and the City continues to work through this matter. <br />Mr. Lano explained he was presented only one frontage road option at the recent Open House. <br />He stated two additional options were emailed to business owners after the meeting.
