Commissioner VanScoy commented that he does not understand why this is an issue for those <br />folks. He commented that there is a mile-long cul-de-sac which is unacceptable from a safety <br />aspect. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson agreed with the comments of Commissioner VanScoy. He did not <br />believe this could move forward unless a road goes through. He stated that in his opinion he <br />would not support a plan that did not provide a connection. He commented that there needs to be <br />a way out. <br /> <br />Commissioner Woestehoff stated that he would agree with those comments, noting that the 20- <br />foot extension would be a minimum. He stated that people will appreciate the cut through more <br />than they would oppose it after constructed. He stated that the new road seems like a good idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he wants a road in there and does not think it should be <br />constructed to bare minimums and should instead stick to the standards for a City street. <br /> <br />The applicant, stated that they appreciate continuing to work with the staff as they want to make <br />this a nice neighborhood. He stated that staff did a good job describing the constraints and <br />conditions around the property. He stated that they are trying to achieve sustainability of the <br />neighborhood and the concept plan is key. He stated that multiple housing types bring in <br />multiple age groups and buyers which helps to make the development sustainable over time. He <br />stated that they knew that tree preservation would be important. He noted that the deeded parcel <br />was provided by the adjacent property and they would provide additional property that would be <br />used for screening. He stated that they support the current layout that has been developed, versus <br />having the access on the east side. He explained that they want people coming into the site to <br />first see the park and preserved tree area. He stated that once the input is gathered in the next <br />few meetings, they will present a concept plan that provides a transition from the existing <br />neighborhood with a variety of housing products and fits with the other adjacent uses. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to recommend that <br />the City Council adopt the document as an official, yet nonbinding policy document to guide <br />future conversations pertaining to Riverstone South with the added condition of the public road. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Commissioner Peters aye <br />Commissioner Woestehoff aye <br />Chairperson Bauer aye <br />Commissioner Johnson aye <br />Commissioner Gengler aye <br />Commissioner Anderson aye <br />Commissioner VanScoy aye <br /> <br />Motion Carried. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ June 4, 2020 <br />Page 15 of 18 <br /> <br />
