The report to the Planning Commission was presented by Shawn Kaye, Associate
Planner. The public hearing for Case File 19-0015 was opened at 7:10 p.m.
Chair Ouellette reported the Commission had received a letter from Donna Stewart
expressing concerns regarding traffic at the school.
Steve Watton, 4805 103rd Lane, stated the new school parking lot was to the
south of his home. He explained the recent expansion has been a disaster for the
neighborhood given the increased level of traffic at the school. He commented on
how he would be impacted by the increased size of the parking lot and noted all
traffic would now flow directly out of the parking lot onto 103rd past his home. He
explained from 2:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. it was a drag race down 103rd. He
indicated he had spoken to the school regarding this concern and requested the city
require the school to address this concern.
Martin Hughes, 4867 North Road, discussed how the bus traffic to Centennial High
School impacts him. He stated he is unable to leave his home at 8:00 a.m. He
indicated the student traffic was also a concern to him given their high rate of speed
and loud music. He requested the city investigate these concerns.
Arden Gerber, 4741 103rd Lane NE, expressed concerns with the additional
parking at the high school. He explained the original request for additional parking
was made to eliminate on-street parking on 103rd, especially during sporting
events. He commented the neighborhood has not seen any relief from the on-street
parking. He indicated his chief concern was for the children that walk along 103rd
from the middle school to the high school. He requested a bike path or sidewalk be
installed along 103rd for children to improve pedestrian safety.
The public hearing was closed at 7:16 p.m.
Chair Ouellette asked if the school district was willing to address some of the
concerns that were raised by the neighbors.
Brian Dietz, Superintendent of Schools for the Centennial School District, explained
the school district would be willing to address these concerns. He reported he
would be willing to meet with these neighbors. He commented on the new addition
City of Blaine Page 3
Planning Commission Minutes May 14, 2019
noting it would be nice to eliminate the outdoor hallway. He apologized for the way
students were driving and explained dismissal time was currently supervised by
adults. He stated he would be more than happy to meet with the neighbors, the
principal and the SRO in order to address this concern. He reported he was
meeting with the Mayor on Monday to discuss the installation of a sidewalk along
103rd.
Commissioner Homan thanked the school district for being willing to meet with the
neighbors.
Chair Ouellette recommended the Police Department visit with the school in order
to assist with the traffic concerns at dismissal time.
Commissioner Olson asked if the parking along 103rd was restricted.
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott reported the parking along 103rd was restricted.
He noted 103rd would be reconstructed by the city this summer.
Motion by Commissioner Olson to recommend approval of Planning Case

City of Blaine Page 5
Planning Commission Minutes May 14, 2019
3.61 acre parcel into seven single family lots to be known as
Elizabeth Marie Estates.
Attachments: Attachments
The report to the Planning Commission was presented by Elizabeth Showalter,
Planning and Economic Development Technician. The public hearing for Case File
19-0017 was opened at 7:29 p.m.
Kristi Jacobson, 9339 Bataan Street NE, stated she lived directly across from this
lot. She explained she moved into Blaine 15 years ago and fell in love with her
neighborhood. She indicated she had a beautiful view from her home and was
surrounded by nature and wildlife. She stated this was providing her a high quality
of life. She feared that the proposed development would hinder her quality of life
and questioned how the property across from her home could even be developed
as it appeared to be mostly wetland. She reported she had spoken to city staff
regarding concerns if the wetlands would be filled in and was told the wetlands
would not be filled in.
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott explained some fill would be brought in on the
northwest corner and for the house pads. He indicated that no fill would be brought
into the wetlands. He provided further comment on the wetlands as delineated by
the watershed district.
Ms. Jacobson commented she was extremely upset that three-fourths of the trees
on this site would be lost. She noted these trees serve as a natural sound and
pollution barrier between her neighborhood and the airport. She encouraged the
city to reconsider this subdivision and what message would be sent to the residents
of Blaine.
Chair Ouellette asked if the neighbors had considered purchasing this property.
Ms. Jacobson explained she had the understanding this property could not be
developed because it was a wetland. She stated she feared for the houses that
would be built on the wetland property and how this would impact her
neighborhood. She anticipated these homes would have a swimming pool in their
basement every spring.
Karen Ellingsworth, 9307 Bataan Street NE, stated she lived in the middle of the
proposed plat on the opposite side of Bataan Street. She expressed concern with
where the driveways would be located.
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott noted three driveways would be located on 93rd
and four driveways would be located on Bataan Street.
City of Blaine Page 6
Planning Commission Minutes May 14, 2019
Ms. Ellingsworth explained she agreed with many of the comments made by Ms.
Jacobson. She stated she feared how pedestrian traffic would be impacted by the
additional traffic that would be generated by the new homes. She anticipated she
would not be able to remain in her home given the increasing levels of traffic. She
indicated she has a sump pump in her home that pumps every 15 seconds. She
feared how new homes could be located on the wetland across the street from her.
She commented she understood some people wanted to make money, but
expressed concern with how the surrounding neighbors would be impacted.
Ehrin Rooney, 9278 Bataan Street, explained he has lived in his home for the past
27 years. He reported the lady slipper grows on subject property and noted he was
told this property would never develop. He commented this was a beautiful piece of
land and stated he would like it to remain in its current state. He indicated his sump
pump runs every 15 seconds.
Chair Ouellette asked if the neighbors had approached the landowner to purchase
the property.
Mr. Rooney stated he understood the property owner tried to build a garage in the
past, but the project was shut down.
John Reichenbach, 9340 Bataan Street, asked what the value of the homes would
be.
Chair Ouellette encouraged Mr. Reichenbach to speak with the developer
regarding this matter.
Mr. Reichenbach expressed concern with the rising level of water in his
neighborhood. He asked if the proposed development would have a holding pond.
Planning and Economic Development Technician, Elizabeth Showalter reported the
development would have a holding pond that would be approximately seven feet
deep.
Mr. Reichenbach questioned when construction on the development would begin.
Chair Ouellette deferred this question to the applicant.
The public hearing was closed at 7:45 p.m.
Commissioner Homan questioned how this tract of land went from being declared
unbuildable to now being buildable.
City of Blaine Page 7
Planning Commission Minutes May 14, 2019
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott explained when Bataan Street was built 20 years
ago a generalized delineation was completed. He reported over the years the water
table has gone down in this area and the wetland has shrunk. Therefore, the
property owner had a new delineation completed and found that more lots could be
created. He indicated this same action has been taken for other parcels in the city
as well.
Commissioner Halpern asked if the presence of lady slippers would make the lot
unbuildable.
Planning and Economic Development Technician, Elizabeth Showalter stated if a
wetland impact were proposed, an additional level of review would be considered
for threatened and endangered species. However, because the developer is not
proposing to impact the wetlands, rare, threatened and endangered species review
is not triggered.
Commissioner York questioned if the proposed ponding would assist in alleviating
some of the water concerns being expressed by the neighbors.
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott indicated staff anticipated this would be the case.
He reported an engineer had designed the pond size and the request was reviewed
by the watershed district. He reported the home elevations were set several feet
above the ponds.
Commissioner Goracke expressed concern with the fact the neighbor’s sump
pumps were going off every 15 seconds. He asked if staff had received calls from
citizens regarding this matter.
Project Coordinator, Tom Scott stated he did not recall receiving any calls
regarding this concern.
Commissioner York inquired if the city had any right to tell the property owner, he
could not develop his property.
Planning and Economic Development Technician, Elizabeth Showalter reported the
applicant has met all city requirements within the Subdivision Ordinance.
Chair Ouellette anticipated the wildlife in this area would stick around due to the
fact a ponding area would remain on the parcel. He asked how long the applicant
has owned the land.
Paul Hennum, applicant, stated he has owned the land for one year, noting he
City of Blaine Page 8
Planning Commission Minutes May 14, 2019
purchased the land from the County.
Commissioner York questioned if any of the neighbors had contacted him.
Mr. Hennum indicated he had only spoken with one neighbor that would be
purchasing the outlot to increase the size of their yard.
Chair Ouellette asked when work would begin on this development.
Mr. Hennum stated work would begin in the next 60 days. He commented further
on the grading and street work that would have to be completed.
Motion by Commissioner York to recommend approval of Planning Case
19-0017 based on the following conditions:
