Oaks of Apple Valley IV Preliminary Plat LOCATION: Between Pennock and Cedar Avenues, North of Harwell Path PETITIONER: McNamara Contracting Co., Inc. (PC91- 004 -S) STAFF REPORT: March 6, 1991 by Associate Planner Meg McMonigal Chairman Erickson opened the public hearing. Associate Planner Meg McMonigal presented a report regarding the plat for 24 single - family lots. The plat includes part of the area that was rezoned last year. The extension of Granada Avenue was officially mapped. The road ties in at the points of the official map, but the proposed alignment is slightly different, resulting in a T- intersection. Discussion revolved around the "T" intersection that was going to be placed on the road alignment, sidewalk connections, easements, and trees. The petitioner from Pioneer Engineering indicated there would be a landscaping berm on Cedar Avenue, where the utilities are and how they are going to be installed. Grading is not going to be a problem. They will try to do some mass grading, especially for the roads and some individual lot grading. Terry Maurer also discussed the Tree Preservation Ordinance and indicated they will try and work with the City Forestor. Chairman Erickson opened the public hearing for questions and comments from the floor. Hale Prosky, 13492 Granada Avenue, is opposed to the hammerhead turnaround for fire trucks. Pete Jackson, 13705 Pennock Avenue, asked about park space and stated there is not a playground in the area. Planning Commission Minutes March 6, 1991 Page 3 Helen Schultz, 13784 Greenland Avenue indicated that she remembered the City Council stating there would be no park in the area. Loretta Prosky, 13492 Granada Avenue, asked what would happen to the trees and deer in the area. It was suggested that the Department of Natural Resources be contacted. Don Romain, 405 Reflection Road, is concerned about what type of berming would occur along Cedar Avenue and would this have the same "fishbowl effect" as other areas. Mary Kay Erickson, 13660 Pennock Avenue South, wanted confirmation that the hammerhead turnaround would not be located on her property. She also wanted to know what the market values of the homes would be. Chairman Erickson closed the public hearing. No action was taken. B.

C. Conditional Use Permit - Code Update Section Al -72 (Dennis Welsch) Community Development Director Dennis Welsch led the discussion regarding the Conditional Use Permit code update.
