Gene Shellrud, GM Homes; indicated he would request a PUD for the entire development. He • stated that when he originally purchased some of this land, and made a first proposal to Staff, it was determined that some of this land was going to be set aside for possible negotiations with the School District for another school. Mr. Shellrud indicated that he has a street around the project that would be accessible to a school or other commercial business. Chairperson Nixt asked if the development would . continue to gain access off Nowthen Boulevard at the northwest corner where the Dental Clinic is located. Mr. Shellrud stated if the Dental Clinic does become part of this development, that access will no longer be needed and the corner would be re -designed to show residential units. Chairperson Nixt asked if that would provide access for the cul-de-sac so it could be shortened. NIr. Shellrud indicated it would; the cul-de-sac was put there at Staffs request. He stated it should be labeled temporary because it will eventually line up with Nowthen Boulevard. Jennifer Asmussen, 15029 Helium Street, stated that where the developer is proposing to bring the street through, there is a cul-de-sac. She indicated they do not have through roads now; there only access out is County Road 5. She does not understand why this development needs so many access points and has to go through their neighborhood. i Chairperson Nixt asked what the egress is to the east, between lots 32 and 33. Associate Planner Geisler stated that would be a temporary cul-de-sac. She indicated the idea is it would eventually connect to 152"d Avenue. Chairperson Nixt asked where the exit between lots 26 and 27 connects. Associate Planner Geisler stated it comes out to Geranium Street via 152"d Lane then to Alpine Drive. Chairperson Nixt indicated that he thinks they need to keep an access to Nowthen Boulevard, and he would prefer to reconfigure it from the Dental Clinic. He stated he can see needing one access to Alpine, but he does not know if an access to Helium Street does much if they keep the access to Alpine. He indicated that the access to 152"d Avenue seems reasonable. Commissioner Shepherd asked how likely the access is to 152"d Avenue, since the City does not have the needed property now. Associate Planner Geisler stated Staff is recommending a stub street to connect at some point in the future. Planning Commission/September 1, 2005 —234— Page 8 of 15
