would increase traffic through his neighborhood. He encouraged the City to pursue 12 homes <br />versus 14. He believed the dock was a ridiculous idea. He noted a dock in this area would sit on <br />the ground and would not float. <br />City Planner McGuire Brigl explained the intent was to extend the cul-de-sac and not run through <br />the front of the Schumacher's property. She reported staff was not recommending an access onto <br />Highway 10 for safety purposes. <br />Mr. Schumacher asked if it would be better for this development to be accessed off of Highway <br />10 and running into a cul-de-sac within the development. <br />City Planner McGuire Brigl stated this has not been considered as the City was trying to reduce <br />access points onto and off of Highway 10. <br />Mr. Schumacher stated he was very concerned with the cul-de-sac being extended into the new <br />neighborhood. <br />Ms. Schumacher requested that if an emergency entrance were considered for Highway 10 that <br />this be blocked off for traffic to ensure additional traffic was not flowing into her neighborhood. <br />Brian Krystofiak, Village Bank representative, thanked staff for their presentation on this request. <br />He noted this was a challenging site. He indicated he was proposing to only have an emergency <br />vehicle access to Highway 10. <br />Vice Chairperson VanScoy asked if there would be any issues in cleaning the site. <br />Mr. Krystofiak explained he was applying for grants to assist with the cleanup of the site. He <br />commented further on the oversight that would have to occur in order to properly clean the <br />property. <br />Commissioner Woestehoff stated he believed the development would be extremely beneficial to <br />the City as it would clean up the property. <br />Commissioner Gengler agreed. <br />Vice Chairperson VanScoy stated he also believed this development would benefit the <br />neighborhood. He asked staff how the Commission should proceed. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill requested the Commission make a motion to direct <br />the developer to proceed with the net loss of two lots. <br />Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to direct the developer to <br />proceed with preparation of the preliminary plat after City Council review, per staff's current <br />recommendation. <br />Planning Commission/March 7, 2019 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
