Commission Business <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he supported the concept and believed this was a nice addition. <br />He suggested Outlot C be flattened out to allow for better access in the case of an emergency <br />during construction. <br />Commissioner Nosan requested further information on the buffer. <br />City Planner Anderson described the location of the 50-foot buffer that is behind the existing <br />homes along Bowers Drive to provide a buffer for them from potential future development of the <br />adjacent agricultural land. <br />Commissioner VanScoy believed the buffer was very generous. He questioned how the City <br />would address street damage that may occur during construction. <br />City Planner Anderson stated this issue would have to be addressed with the applicant. He noted <br />an escrow could be requested from the applicant by the City and the amount could be reduced <br />over time as the lots develop. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the applicant has been working with the <br />City Engineer on a surety for construction damage. <br />John Dobbs, Pearson Place developer, discussed his development in further detail and thanked <br />the Commission for their feedback. He discussed the proposed lot depths for both sides of the <br />street. He clarified he would not be controlling the future of Outlot C and then discussed the <br />grading that would occur within the development for the retention ponds. He explained he would <br />work to install 12 driveways without removing significant trees from the proposed lots. <br />Commission VanScoy asked what the capacity of Bowers Drive was. <br />Mr. Dobbs stated he has had conversations with the City Engineer regarding this matter and <br />would address the road limits with the future contractors. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated his only concern with the project was access for emergency <br />vehicles. He inquired if there was an alternative access point, other than Outlot C. <br />Mr. Dobbs did not believe there was another option and noted this was a quiet neighborhood <br />with a dead-end street. <br />Commissioner Surma questioned if the units would have underground septic or mound systems. <br />Mr. Dobbs anticipated each of the lots would have an underground septic system. <br />Planning Commission/June 1, 2017 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
