I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Mr. Raatikka t~en reviewed his letter of February 7, 1984 regarding the same subject w!~h ~e Commission. This letter brought up the following points that might ~an~ to be addressed: structure height, sidewalks and bike ways, traffic signals, recreation areas such as tot lots. Mr. Carson Sta~ed that a majority reaction from Flintwood I residents is that they do not waht tot lots adjacent to their property. Consensus is that the two parks:planned adjacent to the PUD are sufficient. Mr. Berg stated that it would not be unreasonable to consider the additional right-of-way gSven by the developer for the MSA street as a basis for granting a variance to~he 1.3 acres deficiency in complying with park dedication/ open space requirements. Mr. Carson also pointed out that the developer is giving up 3 acres for an easement O~ Hwy. 47. Commissioner ZSmmerman inquired as to the developer's reason for revising the plan to cluster housing. Mr. Carson replied that market research showed that the location is too far from the MetrQ/area to do a rapid development of 4's and 8's. As a result, the to~al density has decreased from 327 to 182. Residents of Flintwood I feel this plan~is much more superior to the previous plan. Chairman PeterSon referred to Item #5 of Mr. Raatikka's letter of February 3, 1984 and i~quired if a variance can be granted to allow for 60' wide streets instead of 66'.. Mr. Raati~a replied that the City can set the standards for a PUD and 60' is adequate. Mr. Berg state~ that if the PUD is approved with 60' wide streets, no variance is require~, iIf a PUD is approved, then everything in that PUD is approved and requires n~ variance except for park fee dedication. Chairman Peterson reiterated his concern for the number of driveways coming out onto an MSA Street. Mr. CarsOn. explained that there will be one driveway for every four units and the MSA street is wide enough to allow for an acceleration lane. Mr. Rick Foster stated that 'the total number of driveways coming onto the MSA Street (DySposium) would be 14, that turn-arounds are provided and people will not be backing onto the street. Mr. Rekuok~ - Inquired if there is a code that will be enforced to keep those common driveways clear. Mr. Carson reDlied that the common driveways must be kept open at all times; that there are separate driveways to each unit coming off the common driVeway. Commissioner Deemer noted that there is a section in the restrictive covenance regarding ingress/egress.
