2. 2040 Comprehensive Plan
City Planner Dusty Finke provided an update on land use and staging options for the
Draft Comprehensive Plan. Staff requested discussion and direction on the three land
use scenarios and staging options. Staff answered questions and shared information
regarding past assessments, sewer lift station maintenance with Option B, school
districts, Chippewa Road extension, and existing staging.
City Council and Planning Commissioners shared their thoughts on the different options.
Public Comments – Committee members heard landowner’s concerns such as:
A. Tim Whitten (Representative for landowners south of Bridgewater
Development):
He said he represents five property owners south of Bridgewater and their
concerns were more about the change in Staging from 2016 to the proposed
2030 plan.
All five property owners are in agreement to develop at the same time and work
together which would provide for a better development than if it were
piecemealed. He said they are looking at developing property with low density
single family, townhomes, and possibly condos. They asked that the greater
Staging Plan not change as to their property as the committee proposed.
Their development would provide greater access to the Park/Public land east of
Bridgewater.
Asked to have the property staged in 2018 and not in 2020.
2
B. Craig Roy (Property owner – Mohawk Drive):
He suggested the City designate his property to Low Density Residential
guidance.
He stated the market will dictate when the property is developed.
Meeting Summary and Consensus:
Staff depicted three options near the Wealshire site. Consensus was to
implement Option B (Low Density Residential east of Mohawk Drive and North
of Chippewa Road).
Consensus was to update the staging plan to balance out the number of units
made available during the comprehensive plan timeframes (move Tamarack
Drive property to 2030 timeframe, move property south of Bridgewater to 2020
timeframe, and move property in Option B to 2025 timeframe).
