Chairperson Bauer asked what type of development could be placed on this property if it were <br />zoned R-1. <br />City Planner Anderson commented and R-1 zoning district would require 80-foot-wide lots that <br />were 10,800 square feet in size. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill discussed the number of lots that could locate on this <br />parcel if it were zoned R-1. He explained this option has been reviewed with the developer and <br />from the pro forma standpoint, it does not work. <br />Jordan Lahti, 6014 157th Lane NW, stated his main concerns with the proposed development was <br />how it would increase traffic on Radium Street. He explained he has young children and noted <br />he feared for their safety. He recommended additional control measures be considered for the <br />intersection of Nowthen Boulevard and 157th Lane. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated this was a priority area for the City. <br />Mr. Lahti questioned how many of the neighbors would have to offer their support in order for <br />the City to extend City water and sewer. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the City would need to have at least 60% of <br />the neighbors offering their support in order for this to move forward. He explained another <br />option would be for the City to offer water and sewer connections when the roadway was <br />reconstructed at some point in the near future. <br />Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Gengler, Anderson, <br />Onyambu, Surma, and Woestehoff. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner VanScoy. <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 8:11 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Anderson asked what the width of 157th Avenue was. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported this roadway was 28 feet wide. He noted <br />this was a private street. <br />Commissioner Anderson understood the expense for the reconstruction of Potassium Street was <br />still up in the air. He commented he could not support a 24-foot width for Potassium Street and <br />recommended that this roadway be 28 feet wide. He stated he saw very little public benefit from <br />this project and recommended that it go back to the drawing board. <br />Planning Commission/October 4, 2018 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
