A. Palmer Station—Property Subdivision,Rezoning,Planned Unit
Development/Conditional Use Permit: City Planner Richards read his
planning report. Councilmember Runk questioned why they requested to
reduce the side setback since the lots were large enough. Planning
Commissioner Jim Kremer came forward and stated that his position was
that if the developer can sell houses that are that close together, than he
did not have an issue with it. Councilmember Swenson asked the
developer's opinion on home sprinkler systems. Mick Lynskey, on behalf
of the developer, Creative Homes, stated that they were not interested in
installing them. Councilmember Swenson stated that his concern was that
the houses were close together which posed a greater risk of fires
spreading. Lynskey stated he would talk to the developer but requested
that installation of fire sprinkler systems not be a condition of approval.
Lynskey also requested that the City share in the cost of a drainage pipe
because it was above and beyond and was not necessary. Councilmember
Dougherty stated he would like the pipe proposal to be reviewed by Mike
at the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization.
