I I I Council Meeting Minutes December 12, 1995 Page 5 Public Hearinv. continued Nancy Reed, 2601 Ashley Terrace, feels the Kindercare proposal is an excellent addition to the area, and noted the efforts by RLK and Mattila in keeping them updated. She asked if the area behind her property is considered a wetland. Sydow performed an analysis on that area, and it was determined that the area does not contain criteria to be considered a wetland. Reed noted the tremendous amount of water collected in this area and asked where the drainage will travel to. Sydow said the water will be collected and then diverted through a pipe into the retention pond. Reed feels that when the southern property is developed it should mirror the attributes on the Kindercare site. Mattila said there could be potential that the City could place some requirements on the southern property in regards to landscaping and road realignment. Benke would like to see the same quality site plan used on the southern parcel. Reed would prefer to see the access road shifted further to the east. Mattila outlined the following conditions of approval requested by Council: Silver Lake Road entrance would be right in and right out access; and the northerly most light would be placed on a timer to eliminate light glare after 8:00 p.m. Fulton feels the landscaping and road construction should be timed concurrently. Benke noted that grading changes may occur when the southern parcel is developed and this could impact landscaping. Mattila said that when the southern property is developed, the road may move and then landscaping would then be installed. Benke envisions the . landscaping installed when the southern parcel is developed. Williams would be satisfied that the conditions of approval involve completion of the access road to Co. Rd. E. Larson added a condition of approval that as much as possible of the berm be retained on the north side. Reed asked if a specific road alignment plan could be added to the conditions of approval. Benke stated that a specific location for the road has not been identified at this time, and that Kindercare will need to speak to the property owner regarding the road. Reed requested staff contact her when the realignment will be considered. Benke said it is difficult to determine the road location when there has not been a proposal for the development of the southern parcel and anticipated grade changes will need to be made. It is difficult to design a road when the use of the land has not been determined. Benke confirms that the boundaries to the west need to be protected, but questioned how far East the road can be located so that development can occur. Mattila stated the following conditions communicated by Council: Silver Lake Road southbound access will be right Wright out; northerly most light be placed on a timer to eliminate light glare after 8:00 p.m.; a temporary paved road be constructed as far east as possible from Co. Rd. E to the subject site; and the berm on the northside of the subject site be maintained as much as possible. He noted an ordinance requirement that a 25 ft. strip be landscaped and screened when the southerly property is developed. Gunderman verified that the temporary road would be paved. Fulton said the temporary access road extending behind the property would be built for emergency vehicle access. Benke requested that when the southerly parcel is being considered for development, plans should include the desire to move the road easterly. Public Hearin~ Kindercare Report 95-237 Resolution 95-110
