NEW BUSINESS REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, and PRELIMINARY SUBDIISION – Parkside Circle – Alliant Ventures V, LLC Administrator Miller introduced the item and invited City Planner Schultz to present a location map and more information. City Planner Schultz provided a site map and presented the staff report regarding property located on Dodd Road near State Highway 3 and 120th Street. Schultz noted the applicant revised the proposed Planned Development standards in an attempt to address the concerns of the Advisory Planning Commission. City Planner Schultz summarized issues raised by residents at the Planning Commission meeting. Schultz noted the Planning Commission recommended approval of Rezoning, but recommended denial of both the Preliminary Planned Development and the Preliminary Subdivision. Schultz added the APC’s stated reasons for denial were due to the requested deviation to lot coverage for all lots regardless of size and lack of clear public benefit of utilizing Planned Development zoning. Council invited the applicant to make any comments. Mr. Bob Machacek explained the changes made to the project following the Advisory Planning Commission meeting and presented the reasons for the requested deviations. Mr. Machacek was available to answer any questions. Council and Staff discussed APC’s recommendations, particularly the support for the rezoning but non- support regarding the Preliminary Planned Development. Mayor Maguire noted for the record the applicant has made revisions following the APC meeting. Council asked staff for clarification of which lots the proposed deviations would apply. Planner Schultz clarified the lots either reduced setbacks or higher lot coverage would apply. Council and staff continued discussion clarifying matters relating to tower setbacks, traffic and drainage from the site. Councilmember Fields inquired about the trail extension to 120th Street. City Planner Schultz noted the trail extension was a request from County Parks. Public Works Director Matthys noted that bollards would be required to prevent vehicles utilizing the trail to access 120th Street. The Mayor called for public comment on the item, adding the Council was provided with written comments that were submitted in advance. Frank Cossetta, 4895 Dodd Rd, shared concerns related to possible wetland impacts from the proposed development. Mr. Cossetta raised concerns for the water quality in Marsh Lake. Andrew McNeal, 4920 Parkside Circle, stated concerns regarding safety of children with increased traffic. Alan Steil, 4930 Dodd Road, stated he is opposed to the development due to safety and that the development will decrease the value of his home and those in his neighborhood. Marcus Ploeger, 710 Marsh Ct, stated he echoed what others have stated and asked Council to consider the public benefit of the development. Miranda Joyce-Schoenecker, 655 Parkside Ct, raised concerns regarding access to the neighborhood for emergency services, which is further restricted when snow is plowed in the cul-de-sac. She also stated lot widths should be consistent with the existing neighborhood. Doug Johnson, 4775 Dodd Road, stated concerns with traffic increases and traffic speeds on Dodd Road. Pat Hamilton, 4764 Dodd Road, stated she would like to see consistency maintained within the development with rules made and enforced across the City. Joe Sperl, 659 Parkside Court, stated that he understood development of the lots was inevitable but asked the Council to ensure development was done as R-1 single family. Public Works Director Matthys responded to questions regarding stormwater management, history of Dodd Road and trail construction, pavement maintenance, and traffic calming on Dodd Road. Mayor Maguire asked if there were any other questions or comments from Council. City Planner Schultz indicated the applicant requested to address the Council. The applicant, Mr. Machacek, requested the item be withdrawn. Mayor Maguire asked the benefit of withdrawing the application and if Council needed to take any formal action.
