Absent: None. <br />6.02: "Waterfront Village" Sketch Plan for Approximately 110 Detached Townhomes by <br />Centra Homes <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends advancing the <br />sketch plan to the Preliminary Plat phase with any additional comments the Planning Commission <br />has. <br />Commissioner Heineman referenced the north side and asked why the road proposed would not <br />continue to Bunker as it would seem that another entrance/exit would be helpful. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that Anoka County would not allow an entrance/exit onto <br />Bunker, even if it were a right-in/right-out. He commented that Anoka County felt that the two <br />entrances proposed would be sufficient. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked the location of 147th Street as mentioned in the narrative. <br />Planning Manager Larson identified where that roadway alignment would be and where both <br />entrance/exits would be. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked for an update on the zoning code update process. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that the issue will go before the Council at the November <br />14th meeting for final adoption. He confirmed that the rezoning of this property is included in that <br />rezoning of the city. <br />Commissioner Hunt asked if the issue of the County was with the number of entrance/exit points. <br />He believed that it would make more sense to connect to Bunker rather than one of the other <br />entrances. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the County has spacing guidelines and therefore this would <br />not align with that plan as the existing roads (Armstrong, Zeolite, and Center) already match that <br />spacing and adding another roadway between would be a large deviation. He stated that the <br />County asked for a traffic analysis to see if this would trigger a need for a traffic signal at Zeolite <br />and they are still working with the County on that. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if there is a purchase agreement for something the Planning <br />Commission has not looking at but that has been reviewed by the EDA and City Council. He <br />asked if the plans would still come before the Planning Commission. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that there is a purchase agreement, and the plans will come <br />before the Commission perhaps in February. <br />Planning Commission/ October 26, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
