~ In response to Commissioner Mahern's question, Mr. Bartelson sta the first construction area. By the time Village 1 is complete, the in be ready for the school to begin their construction. He noted that th working very hard so that the Chu project can be finalized, so they, i with school construction. that Village 1 will be structure would also school district is turn, can go ahead Commissioner Finch asked the applicant the width of the streets that ave a sidewalk on one side. Mr. Bartelson said the street is 25 feet curb to curb plus a four foot sidewalk. There is no parking in the street, but there is parking available within the urtyards. Commissioner Pinch stated that he is concerned that there is insuffici nt parking within the project. He felt that if someone had a party, people would have no p ace to park, Mr. Bartelson stated there are parking bays that do not show on the plan. He also noted there is a major street adjacent to the project where overflow parking can go. Chairman Hovingh thought that the street on Stone Pointe Way is 56 eet wide, but that the connecting street from the project is only 51 feet. He expressed conc rn as to how this would affect traffic. Mr. Bartelson said the street will gradually wid n out to meet the 56 feet. Mr. Swift noted the difference is that there is no sidewalk on 0 e side of the Hirst/Tong property and two sidewalks on the 56 foot wide street. Bob Sanchez, 3017 Melbourne Court, expressed concern that Martin venue from the north does not have access to this property and the problem that would cr e for the area known as the Meadows, primarily if a school is built. If Martin Avenue can ot access this project property, Meadows' residents will have to go down Stoneridge. If M 'n Avenue does not go through, there will be no good access to the school. He noted the e is not even a plan for a footbridge so that children can walk or ride their bikes to school; in fact, they will have to go all the way around to Santa Rita Road, which is very out-of-the-w y. He urged that Martin A venue either be opened up to be a through-street or at least uild a footbridge over Martin Avenue. Commissioner Mahern explained to Mr. Sanchez that the project can t be conditioned at this time to have a footbridge. That was looked at in the PUD stage d the Commission was told that it would cost around $1 million. Mr. Higdon did not th nk it would run into $1 million, but probably several hundred thousands of dollars. Mr. Sanchez reiterated his concern that at least a footbridge is necess able to cross Martin Avenue. for people to be Chairman Hovingh again pointed out that as the PUD for the project as been approved that a condition such as a footbridge cannot be added, Planning Commission Minnles Jannary 27, 1993 Page 6
