Item II, Dennis McWilliams, P.C.D. Sand Pointe 3rd Addition, Schematic Plan, Public Hearing was called to order by Chairman Roseth. Mr. James Hill, Consultant for the applicant was present to answer questions. City Consulting Planner Tooker commented per memorandum dated Feb. 28, 1983. Mr. Hill said that the spirit and intent of R -1 density for Sand Pointe 3rd will continue the theme of single family detached homes. It has eliminated driveways off Crest Ave., due to heavy traffic from 42 to Sand Pointe Beach. Carriage Hill road will be a collector also. A convenience center in the future when the addition is completed will be added. Staff has requested a water tower site in this location which is Outlot B. Lot sizes are 65' based on Sand Pointe 2nd Additions' marketability. The housing will cost 60 to 70 thousand dollars. Density is under the Comprehensive Plan requirements. The narrow openings to the park area were due to cost factor and the overall plan is consistant with the residential neighborhood. At this time the Public Hearing was opened to the audience. Cleve Mickley, Shady Beach had concern over the sewer to the east and will it connect to the previous one. Mr. Hill commented that the pumps would be modified to handle the sewage. Steve Hoyt, North Shore Oaks, had concern over the commercial lot and a neighborhood center being built with high traffic already in the area and a transition along Candlewood for a buffer. Jim Peterson, North Shore Oaks, had concern over who would be responsible for the cost of a sewer line in the proposed addition and pump stations. Also when will sewer and water be brought to the west of this area. Mr. Hill commented that the charge will be against the 3rd addition. Mr. Tooker commented that the Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be first in priority, with an approximate timing between 1983 and 1985. Roger Olson, Hampton Street, had concerns with widening of streets and curbing and taxing when the sewer comes along. Mr. Tooker commented that there is nothing firm now on this. Usually there is a request by area residents for improvements. Sue Foster, 5409 140th, had concerns with lot sizes in the proposed addition. There are large lots now in the area and felt they should be kept consistant. Also a buffer is needed. Also a convenience store isn't needed since there is one only 1 miles down the road now. Also the traffic from Sand Pointe Beach b County Road 42 is heavy now and would be greater with a convenience store. Mr. Hill commented that in the future signal lights would probably be installed on County Read 42 6 the area residents would 6 could support a convenience store. John Meyers had a concern over a convenience store close by. Phil Rooney, Fisher Ave., had concern over continuing a buffer between the sud- division 6 existing homes 6 concern over the resale of existing property abutting the subdivision. F inning Commission, March 3, 1983 (cont.) Leo Vierling, 14091 Eagle Creek Ave., had concern over foot traffic to the north from the subdivision where he pastures cattle. Nanev Peterson, Shore Trail, had concern over load on the present lift station to handle the sewer and water and upgrading of Crest Ave. at whose expense. Mr. Hill commented that it would be part State Aid Funds and part developers expense. At this time the Public Nearing was closed. The Planning Commission.rs had several concerns over the P.U.D. meeting the required criteria, concern over sensivity to the existing neighborhood, concern over a water tower location and neighborhood center, concern over the traffic volumne, and expense incurred, and concern over sewer and water development.
