5.
Public Hearing - A request for a preliminary plat review of a proposed
new subdivision plat. Applicant, City of Monticello.
Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to planning Commission
members that the City of Monticello had engaged the services of Dennis
Taylor, Taylor Land Surveyors, to do the platting layout for the proposed
new subdivision plat.
Mr. Taylor was present to propose the layout of the plat with the amount
of acreage for each of the six lots and with the proposed layout of the
street with a cul-de-sac.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the
public. There was no input from the public on the preliminary plat.
Therefore, Mr. Carlson opened the meeting for any discussion by Planning
Commission members. Mr. Jim Ridgeway questioned the actual width of the
street serving this property and the width of the cul-de-sac. Dennis
Taylor indicated the platted area would be a 66-foot platted street with
a 46-foot back-of-the-curb to back-of-the-curb street surface. The
cul-de-sac is also designed similarly to accommodate substantial turning
around by a semi-truck tractor. Chairperson Richard Carlson questioned
the area of land up on Lot 3 with it being divided by the gas line
easement. zoning Administrator Anderson explained to Commission members
the area east of the easement through this lot would accommodate
approximately 100' x 100' building and still be within the setback
requirements. If a parking lot was to be constructed, it could be
constructed within the building setback requirements on the east one-half
of this drainage easement; or it could be placed over the drainage
easement with a hard surfaced parking lot.
With no further input from the public on this request, motion was made by
Joyce Dowling, seconded by Cindy Lemm, to approve the preliminary plat
review of the proposed new subdivision plat. Motion carried unanimously.
6. A sketch plan review of a proposed new subdivision plat. Applicant, Tom
Brennan.
Mr. Tom Brennan was present to propose a lot and block platting layout of
two unplatted parcels of land which he currently owns. The proposed
layout of the plat with the road system would provide a link from
Minnesota Street to Elm Street up near the freeway as a collector type
road. with no one present from the public for any public input,
Chairperson Richard Carlson opened the meeting for input from the
planning Commission members. The general consensus of the Planning
Commission members is that they look favorable at the type of layout that
he had, even recognizing the fact that Mr. Brennan had a substantial
amount of fill that would have to be moved from different areas within
this proposed replatting of unplatted land to accommodate this proposed
development plat.
