OLD BUSINESS:
Resolution #P.C. 229-91--Disapproval of sketch for Lowell
Peterson in the NW 1/4 of Section 11. Chairman Salentine asked if
anyone was present for this resolution. No one was. Mr. Dykstra
said no one had contacted him with new information. Mr. Hulbert
made a motion to table this resolution and Mrs. Smith seconded.
Upon a roll call vote the motion to table passed unanimously.
Resolution #P.C. 221-91--Approval of sketch for Plum Creek
Subdivision in the SE 1/4 of Section 17 for Terra Development.
Chairman Salentine said the representatives for Plum Creek were
back, but he first wanted to address the letter received by the
Plan Commissioners from the Comprehensive Plan Study Committee.
The letter dated December 12, 1991, requested the Plan Commission
delay any action regarding the project until the draft
Council. After the Mayor received his copy, he contacted the City comprehensive plan has been reviewed by the Plan Commission and
Attorney who discussed this matter with Larry Kirch, the city's
new Planning Director. The City Attorney felt the letter
requested a moratorium until the Comp Plan is presented to the
Plan Commission and adopted by the Common Council. The City
Attorney indicated that several tests need to be met on whether
the developer has vested rights. These include whether the
developer has made expenditures or relied on government actions.
Chairman Salentine said money has been expended, a planner was
hired and that this has been before the Plan Commission several
times before. Since no timetable has been set for the Comp Plan
presentations (maybe February), a moratorium may be necessary
later, but the developer should be able to proceed.
Since the proposed development is still in the sketch stage, he
can't see how the City Attorney can say he has a vested interest.
Just table it for one month as there is no timeframe for a
"sketch". After working on the Comp Study Plan Committee for two

years, at least give them the courtesy of a delay. This is not a
moratorium.
Mr. Radish asked to be heard as a representative for the
Spitzners. They have a buyer now and have sewer and water
assessments to pay on their tax bill. This is putting pressure on
them if there is a delay. Mr. DeBack said he disagrees that the
developer does not have an interest in the property, as he has
given checks to owners and paid for a planner's report. He has
vested interest and time is of the essence, as they have an April
22nd closing date. C.A.T.S. (in the Industrial Park) does not
want single family near his business and you need RS-3/PUD zoning
to allow screening.
Mr. Bob Patch, the developer, said he has a vested interest, has
spent money on the site planning, figuring out the depths of the
sewers. Where do you start and stop? To table the resolution for
one month in theory is logical, but the city will require more
time. The comp plan will be deliberated for several Plan
Commission meetings and then go to the Common Council involving
more meetings. It may not be until spring or summer.
Mr. Hulbert asked Mr. Potrykus if the Comp Plan will significantly
affect one or more of these properties? He was surprised Dr.
Mangiamele's report didn't question it. He said the Plan
Commission and the Common Council have a habit with P.U.D.s rather
OPD is great because the city gets something (amenities). He
questions why you increase the density over what is allowed under
a P.U.D. and recommends they take a serious look at the proposed
two tier process.
Mr. Hulbert responded he is willing to give the Comp Plan
Committee 30 days, but Mr. Patch has a good point, that if the 30
days won't really make a difference, don't delay it any longer.
The committee's comments came too late.
Mr. DeBack felt the RS-3/0PD is a good plan for the city.
Chairman Salentine felt the Plan Commission should proceed on with
the sketch since they do have the authority to enact a moratorium.
We have directed the petitioners to hire a planner and should
proceed. This resolution was deferred from the December 3, 1991
meeting.
Mr. Bill Carity (Terra Development) presented two colored
plans--one old and the other new. He felt the lots near the
Industrial Park were a good size. He tried to address the
comments from the December 3rd meeting. He still feels 8-families
are good. He passed pictures of the area for the proposed
development and the area near the Industrial Park. He feels it
the Industrial Park. He noted there is a treeline that borders
the creek. The new plan for Plum Creek removed all of the open
.- than stick with the zoning, they down grade it and package it.

from 13,000 sq. ft. to 17,000 sq. ft. Straight zoning required

15,000 sq. ft. All the lots are buildable. Some lots were
creek is the natural place to change zoning from multi to duplex
to single. They would limit the deed restrictions for single
family lots and possibly have a Habitat for Humanity home. If the
scheme didn't work, they would like to have a "sunset clause" to
enable them to come back to the Plan Commission. Mr. Carity said
they are requesting RS-3/0PD zoning for 273 lots/units compared to
311. Mr. Schmidt requested a breakdown of the lots/units. Mr.
Carity said there would be -- 130 single, 14 duplex, 5 single, 3
duplex zero lot line, 13, 8 family lots. No lots are landlocked.
He feels this is a good plan with larger lots.
Chairman Salentine said it is a positive approach for a
neighborhood park. Mr. Carity said it is all high ground in this
park area. Mr. Hulbert spoke as a member of the Park Board. He
provide some amenities. Mr. Carity said they would be low-profile

Chairman Salentine said the city does; would require an easement

on these lots but they would still be large. He is for affordable
housing with control with the assurance it is affordable. Mr.
Raimann and Hulbert felt it is very difficult to limit the income
of the purchaser. Several members were polled to determine their
business could abut the Linear1 Park. Mr. Raimann would like to
opinions on the proposed project. Perhaps a home occupied
see attached garages on all buildings. Mr. Hulbert wants 15,000
were in agreement with this requirement and two felt the new plan
sq. ft. lots with a minimum of 100' frontage. Five commissioners
was good the way it was presented. There should be some research
to see what the Industrial Park setback will be. Mrs. Smith
commented that some businesses in the Industrial Park do care
about their appearance and being a good neighbor. She
complimented the developers on a good plan. Several commissioners
like the zero lot line idea. Several commissioners liked the idea
more duplexes and definitely all attached garages. One
of affordable lots. Some would like to see less 8-families and
commissioner wanted less duplexes and more single family. Mr.
Schmidt felt the developer was trying to address all of the
commissioners concerns, so the city should watch who the
Industrial Park tenants will be in the future.
Mr. Carity requested to see the site plan for C.A.T.S.
The developers will have to petition for a rezoning.
Ald. Sanders made a motion to defer the resolution and Mr. Raimann
unanimously.

Chairman Salentine said the Finance Committee will handle the

of a pond and a timeframe. Atty. Solbrig talked about the berms,
loads of sand and the pond being in a different location than
originally planned. You have to separate the intent of the road
within 30 days, and then be inspected. Mr. Barrett wished to
bond from other issues. The rip wrap and sand can be in place
clarify a few points of this complex issue. He had an agreement
to extract clay, but since Mr. Dyer was in the hospital, he
obtained his clay from another site. Therefore, the original bond
and site plan were cancelled. In September 1990, another
agreement was signed by both parties and the original site was no

resolution was written by taking some of the original conditions
and adding the new. Mr. Michael Fischer of Prestige Auto

he can't have boats in front of the building. Mr. Kreil, co-owner
