Chairperson Bauer referenced the two proposed lots on the south side and asked if those align with <br />Lennar or the fire hall. <br />Mr. Dehn believed that those align with Lennar. He stated that the existing home on the property <br />aligns with the fire barn. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked where the water from north of the cul-de-sac would go. <br />Mr. Dehn replied that he did not ask his engineer that question but noted that his engineer was <br />confident that all the water would flow south. <br />Commissioner Peters stated that there was a case recently where development was proposed but <br />the cost to connect to City services would have been so extensive that it was not required. He <br />noted that this project is very close to City services and asked if that would be an issue. <br />City Planner McCann replied that the property is zoned and guided rural developing and therefore <br />the property only allows for private utilities. <br />John Statton, 8050 152" a Lane, commented that when he purchased his lot in 1986, he was told <br />that the row of trees on the south side would be drainage for the 11 acres. He commented that <br />about 10 to 12 years ago there was some excavating that impacted the drainage in the area. He <br />believed that his drainage pond is currently on the area proposed for cul-de-sac. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked where water ponds on the property after rain events. <br />Mr. Statton identified the area where water pools and the path that drainage follows. <br />Mrs. Statton commented that they have a cul-de-sac on the front of their home and now would <br />have one on the back as well. She asked for details on the size of the property. <br />City Planner McCann reviewed the size of the subject property and proposed lot sizes between the <br />existing lot and two new lots. <br />Mr. Statton asked what happened to the requirement to have 2.5-acre lot size. <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that part of the request includes a variance for the smaller lot size. <br />David Hlavka, 8111 151 st Lane NW, commented that this property is in his backyard. He identified <br />the low-lying area where drainage follows. He commented that along the back of his property he <br />has stormwater easement and on the front of his property he has utility and stormwater easement. <br />He believed that this property also has stormwater easement along the back. He commented that <br />years ago one foot of water was common to find within that easement, noting that it has been dryer <br />but that is still wet. He noted that Anoka County has also dropped mosquito pellets into that area. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that Metropolitan Mosquito Control handles that duty and does <br />treat hot spots but will also respond to resident requests. <br />Planning Commission/ October 27, 2022 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
