Mr. Corkle replied that the road does act as a collector street, but did acknowledge that there is a <br />lot of traffic for the neighborhood that exists. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson inquired if it would be possible to prohibit right tums from CSAH #5 <br />onto Dysprosium Street. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski noted that state aid would look at that restriction as not being favorable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated that Dysprosium Street continues to be a significant problem and <br />maybe it is time that the City consider moving the MSA designation to another street in the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sweet stated that the project proposes 340 units, so to her it did not make sense <br />that there would only be 115 cars leaving the development. <br /> <br />Mr. Corkle replied that that would not be the case if they assumed that everyone left their homes <br />at the same time. The numbers referenced in the study were done for the peak hours of 6:30 a.m. <br />to 7:30 a.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sweet stated that she is concerned with the overall impact of the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Corkle replied that they estimated that there would be 2,000 trips from the development in a <br />24 hour period. 20 percent of those trips would go down Dysprosium Street. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated that there are serious issues along Dysprosium Street and the City <br />does have some responsibility on resolving those concerns. <br /> <br />Mr. Black stated that the peninsula is an area where there will be City sewer and water, which is <br />quite different than the areas that are developed with ~A acre to 1 ½ acre. They have already <br />reduced the number of lots on the peninsula and the smallest lot would be 18,000 square feet and <br />largest lot would be 1 ½ acres. During the neighborhood meeting he had requested an <br />opportunity to determine what type of home could be built on the "dog house" lot and if it was <br />not feasible to build on, then they would split the lot. He explained that the peninsula homes will <br />be the most expensive homes in the development ranging from $250,000 to $400,000 and they <br />will keep those lots custom lots. Mr. Black presented a picture of two story 2,300 square foot <br />two level home built at a minimum of $250,000 that would fit on the "dog house" lot. If that <br />home were built on that lot they would be abiding by the 35 foot front yard setback and 50 foot <br />rear yard setback. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that the DNR has jurisdiction up to the ordinary high water <br />mark and very typically there is a buffer wetland that goes beyond that point a couple feet higher <br />which is under the restrictions of the WMO. When the delineation of the site is completed they <br />will pick up where the boundary of the wetland is and then verify that with the WMO, then an <br />easement will be placed over the wetland. He also explained that the volume of retention ponds. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 5, 2001 <br /> Page 15 of 28 <br /> <br /> <br />
