3. Review status of Oak Ridge residential subdivision.
Jeff O'Neill, Assistant Administrator, updated Planning Commission members
on the preliminary plat revisions for the Oak Ridge residential subdivision
plat.
City staff members Hoger Mack and John Simola met with the developers to
express some concerns that they had with the preliminary plat on the following
items:
1. Trail systems. The trail system as proposed across Outlot A was
to consist of a hard~surfaced trail going through Outlot A. Staff
recommendation was to reduce the trail to a woodchip or a
mowed grass trail to cut down on the maintenance of this trail
system for Outlot A. The hard-surfaced walking path to be
located going southeast from Oakview Court in between Lots 15
and 16, thence along County Road 118 right-of-way up to Meadow
Oak Circle.
2. There was a small wetland area near the entrance off of 118. The
public works staff felt that this small wetland area should be left
untouched versus the plan proposed by the developers.
3.
Grading plan. The developer stated he is willing to do the best
he can to save as many trees as possible with minimal grading on
each of the lots in the wooded areas. He stated he is willing to
allow the City public works staff to mark the trees which they
would like to see saved and do their best efforts to save any of the
marked trees.

Continued Public Hearing--Consideration of a request to rezone the Oak Ridge
residential subdivision from R-PUD to R-1 (single family residential) zoning
designation.
Jeff O'Neill, Assistant Administrator, explained the proposal to rezone the Oak
Ridge residential subdivision from R- PUD (residential planned unit
development) to R-1 (single family residential) zoning. With the rezoning, the
developers would have to meet all the minimum requirements as outlined in
the original PUD in regard to road and pedestrian access to park areas.
There being no public in attendance, Chairperson Cindy Lemm then closed the
public hearing and asked for any further input from the Planning Commission
members.
There being no further input, a motion was made by Richard Carlson and
seconded by Brian Stumpf to approve the rezoning request to rezone the Oak
Ridge residential subdivision from R-PUD to R-1 (single family residential)
zoning designation. This motion is based on the finding that the plat as now
designed is consistent with the goals set forth in the plan approved under the
original planned unit development and that the proposed land use under the
R-1 zoning designation will result in a reduction in the intensification of the
land use and a concurrent reduction in impact on the adjoining properties.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not result in a decrease in adjoining
land values, and it is consistent with the character and geography of the area.
Motion carried unanimously with Richard Martie and Jon Bogart absent.
