Commissioner Woestehoff echoed the comments of the Commission thus far. He stated that he is <br /> unsure of the road going into a T. He stated that he would prefer the townhomes removed as that <br /> could provide space for the ponding and free up additional commercial space. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl asked if the concern was that the townhomes would abut the <br /> commercial use or with the road. <br /> Commissioner Woestehoff stated that it is the road issue and noted that moving the pond would <br /> allow additional space for the commercial use. <br /> Commissioner Gengler commented that she preferred the previous layout as well and had concern <br /> with residential abutting commercial use and the proposed road in this configuration. <br /> Chairperson Bauer reviewed the consensus of the Commission that the commercial portion of the <br /> property should not be reduced further than what has already been agreed to. The Commission <br /> also prefers a road between the commercial and residential uses rather than allowing those uses to <br /> abut each other as shown in this proposal. <br /> 7.02: Review Sketch Plan for Bacon Property; Case of Bill Boyum <br /> Presentation <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl presented the Staff Report asked the Commission to provide <br /> feedback on which concept plan to move forward with and develop a formal sketch plan <br /> application. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that the applicant's narrative includes two cul-de-sacs, noting that one <br /> lies within Nowthen. He recognized that the comments from public safety shows that they prefer <br /> the loop but asked if a larger cul-de-sac would accomplish the same things. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that she could bring that idea forward to public safety for <br /> review. <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that Commissioner Johnson stated that he preferred the 19-lot layout. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy referenced the option which would connect to 178th and asked for <br /> additional details. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that connection would be challenging as the road would <br /> go through the park area that is mostly wetlands. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy commented that several of the lots appear to be encumbered with <br /> floodplain and asked how the developer would intend to handle that. <br /> Planning Commission/December 3, 2020 <br /> Page 11 of 15 <br />
