Chairperson Bauer confirmed the consensus of the Commission to direct the applicant to continue <br />moving forward to the application process. <br />2.03: Receive Update on Trott Brook North Planning Area — Makowsky and Hunt Property <br />Projects <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl provided an update on the status and timing of the projects generally <br />known as "Trott Brook North" which is the area between Variolite Street and Nowthen Boulevard <br />NW, north of Trott Brook. The two properties are separately owned, and the City is working with <br />two separate applicants, the Excelsior Group and Platinum Land LLC. Both applicants are <br />working towards formal applications with 80-foot-wide lots. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill provided details on the shared infrastructure that would be <br />needed, similar to what was done with Riverstone. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked for input from Councilmember Musgrove related to the previous <br />direction for 80-foot lots. <br />Councilmember Musgrove confirmed the direction from the Council for 80-foot lots. She asked <br />if there would be any issues with easements for utility lines. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl provided details on the utility lines and how those are being worked <br />into the plans. <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that it would seem that 80 foot lots would be more <br />acceptable from the existing neighborhoods, although those residents may want to see some larger <br />lots. She did have concern with easement placement and how those could possible encumber lots. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that there are known utility easements on the properties. <br />He stated that if there are any conservation or density transition easements, that land would be <br />taken by the City through fee title. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he has been plowing snow for the City this winter and <br />commented that cul-de-sacs are difficult, especially for snow storage. He stated that he likes the <br />plan, and that the developer adjusted their plans, but asked if this could be done with less cul-de- <br />sacs. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl asked if it is easier to plow nub type cul-de-sacs compared to a <br />typical cul-de-sac. <br />Commissioner Anderson replied that it would depend on the amount of land around the cul-de-sac <br />and where driveways are situated. He stated that there is often no other place to put the snow other <br />than someone's yard. <br />Planning Commission/ February 11, 2021 <br />Page 6of10 <br />
