Councilmember Kuzma stated that he could support either option. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that the existing homes adjacent to the north actually have side <br /> yards that face Alpine and therefore does not see an impact if the higher density homes are <br /> placed to the north. He asked for details on the trail that was negotiated. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that this parcel has been sold and is coming <br /> forward under straightforward zoning, whereas the previous request was for a PUD and therefore <br /> a trail was a negotiation tool of that project. He stated that the tool to require a trail with this <br /> project is not available. He noted that there is a trail along Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma <br /> Street, but the segments of the Lake Itasca Greenway are not in place in this area. He confirmed <br /> that there is a trail along Alpine. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked if there would be options to work through park dedication. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that would be a negotiation tool with <br /> Hageman Holdings when that site develops separate from this project. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that she is comfortable with the project as proposed which is <br /> mindful of the residents to the east. She agreed that the larger lots would make more sense on <br /> the southern portion of the lot rather than the north. She stated that as projects in this area move <br /> forward in the southern border area, she would want to ensure that staff keeps its eye open for <br /> Itasca Greenway options. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau asked whether the homes along the eastern boundary now align with similar <br /> lot sizes to the existing homes. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the proposed homes would be quarter <br /> acre lots whereas the existing homes are one acre lots on private well and septic. He explained <br /> that the dimensional standards of the existing zoning of the parcel are met through this request, <br /> including the density transitioning requirement. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill provided additional input on the plans from Paxmar <br /> for the western portion of the property. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked about zoning to the east of this property. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that property would be zoned for medium <br /> density residential and would match what is approved for the Capstone development. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that this development would back up to the golf course. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that given the extensive amount of input that <br /> was received during the last public input process, there was a much higher rate of resident <br /> support for this project than the first project. <br /> City Council/December 11,2018 <br /> Page 11 of 18 <br />
