the glare from headlights on cars that come around the cul-de-sac would be in his sightline in this <br />porch. He stated he is looking for a privacy fence on the property line. He explained he has <br />lived there 30 years and considers this a way of life. He said he thinks the project owes him a <br />barrier from the traffic and cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Chad Hayes, 15243 Germanium Circle, stated this abuts his backyard as well. He suggested a <br />fence be put in instead of a lilac bush, for example, for screening. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Sweet, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Sweet, Brauer, Johnson, <br />Kociscak, Reeve, and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />The public hearing closed at 9:26 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner Sweet stated this plan looks crowded to her. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt questioned if the stagnant pond on the property had been resolved. He noted <br />that it is a long street and congestion on this property makes it rather unattractive. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon noted that one of the challenges is the lack of access. It is a tough <br />piece to develop and there is one access on Alpine. <br /> <br />Commissioner Reeve inquired how long the road is. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon explained it is significantly more than 600 feet, possibly 800 feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated he struggles with the layout as well. He questioned if the density is <br />reasonable and Principal Planner Trudgeon said it is. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that a second access on 153rd may be better than a through road to the <br />south. <br /> <br />Mr. Kempf said that 152nd would likely be blocked off at T.H.#47 and all the houses would have <br />to be purchased to widen it. He said he is not planning on leaving. The plan should be to not <br />continue that street through for a long time. He invited the Commissioners to come and tour the <br />area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt said he would like to have the developer continue to work with the Staff, if this <br />corner is going to be developed, it must not have a second access. He would also like to see <br />more green space. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/February 7, 2002 <br /> Page 14 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
