Community Development Director Gladhill discussed the City's depth standards for residential <br />lots. He reported the lot would have an adequate amount of buildable area. <br />Commissioner Surma requested to see an expanded aerial view of the property. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed an expanded aerial view of the site, along <br />with the location of the wetland. He stated staff was comfortable moving this request forward <br />and would address the wetland delineations during the next phase. <br />Commissioner Surma asked if another road would be needed to access the new lot. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented a new driveway would be created on the <br />western end of the property to access the public roadway. <br />Commissioner Brauer questioned if dewatering would be needed to install utilities or the <br />basement. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the site had utilities stubs in place. He <br />stated temporary dewatering may be needed and would be monitored closely by the City and <br />watershed management organization. <br />Megan Jacobson, 16702 Limonite Street NW, expressed concern with Lot 3 noting the lot was <br />very poorly maintained. She hoped to see a high -quality building put on this lot. <br />Carl Jacobson, 16702 Limonite Street NW, discussed how water drains on his property along <br />with the tall grasses and wildlife in his rear yard. He did not want to see additional water brought <br />onto his property through the new construction. <br />Commissioner Surma asked who would be developing the lot. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill deferred this question to the applicant. <br />Gan Ram, CTW Group, explained he was the developer of the property. He addressed the <br />drainage concerns for the lot and explained he had put in a permit with the Lower Rum River <br />Watershed District. He proposed shifting the house to another area in order for the driveway to <br />be relocated. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding how the home and driveway could be realigned on the lot. <br />Commissioner Brauer encouraged the developer to work with staff and the adjacent neighbors to <br />resolve the concerns addressed this evening. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill indicated he would be willing to work with the <br />applicant prior to the Preliminary Plat being presented to the Commission. <br />Planning Commission/November 3, 2016 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />
