to their architects/ engineers that will formally design the project (and prepare for official <br />applications). Therefore, any preliminary <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer understood the sentiments of each group that has reviewed this request was <br />that Yolite Street should be connected and that Mr. Johnson supported shared financing. He <br />requested further information from staff on the benefits of this connection being public or private. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama offered a definition for a <br />public road and explained sidewalks and lights would be required, which would be more costly. <br />He indicated a private drive option would be less costly and noted the standards would be <br />negotiable. He reported the City would pay 60% and the developer would pay 40% for a public <br />roadway. If the road were to develop in a private manner, the expense would be negotiable and <br />staff anticipated this could be split 50/50. He explained that if the road were developed as a <br />private drive, it would remain open to the public. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer questioned if a private road made more sense for the remnant lot. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated this would make <br />more sense for the remnant lot as this would allow for additional width. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the future sale of the remnant lot would be improved if the <br />roadway were public versus private. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama believed this issue would <br />have to be further vetted. He anticipated that a private drive would reduce the entry costs for a <br />future developer, while also maintaining more of the land. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy discussed the importance of the Yolite connection for users of the train. <br />For this reason, he supported a public street. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan questioned who would maintain the roadway if it were private. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated the maintenance <br />would be negotiable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson expressed concern with a private road and recommended the connection <br />be public to allow for proper access. <br /> <br />Michael Johnson, Stone Brook Children’s Academy, introduced himself to the Commission and <br />stated he would be one of the owners of Stone Brook. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer understood Mr. Johnson’s father-in-law owned two daycare academies. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 2, 2017 <br />Page 9 of 15 <br /> <br />
