PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: December Meeting Tronstad Annexation – Their Application for Annexation of 10 acres on Tronstad on the east side of the highway was approved with an R-2 zoning designation, which is our lowest density residential. They have no subdivision planned at this time. He plans to sell the property. Stillwater Bend – A work session was held for this 56-acre project on the west side of Rose Crossing, west of the Ford dealership. The area south of Falcor. This will be going to a Public Hearing next month. Nygren will get their application materials out to everyone. The river and highway are there, so take a close look at this. OTHER REPORTS: Linderman School Parking Renovation – Preliminary Review - They will need a 5-foot buffer off the property line. Mallett stated they are trying to squeeze as much parking in as possible. They are mostly concerned about fire access in the NE corner. Parker stated they need to designate their handicapped parking and accessibility. Tabler and Nygren both commented on them having two accesses instead of one on the south side. It would take out four parking spaces on the street with the second access. There was also discussion regarding two accesses on the west side. Fincher explained the process with trees to Mallett. World Gym – C of O – Public Works has signed off on this. Sorensen is waiting for their Amended Plat. They will check with their surveyor and get back to him, as we had put on a Site Review condition that their sidewalks/private drive did not align with their easements and was kicking off onto other property. We wanted that cleaned up. Tabler stated we will need at least a public easement for their water main. Silverbrook – Nygren met with Marvin yesterday and he is still planning on selling the multi-family piece to the south. These are the same investors that are doing The Crossings. Their layout is close to what was originally approved. They will take this to the Silverbrook HOA. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m. cc: Police City Manager Fairgrounds MDOT Bldg.
