Nemcek stated that some planting is included. Additional planting could be added in the space allowed. Kenninger questioned if additional planting could be added along the parking lot near 148th Street West. Nemcek stated that the site will be surrounded by a fence as well. We can work with the developer to add additional buffers where it’s possible. In this proposed plan the developer has already included more planting then what is required. Commissioner Reed inquired if the fire truck condition has been used in the past. Nemcek stated that they have. With the streets being private, they need to prove that fire trucks can fit down the street. Reed inquired if additional parking should be added. Nemcek stated that most of the parking will be internal. The public hearing opened at 7:00 pm. Public Comments: Clayton Maricle, 14388 Alma Ave, stated that he’s concerned about the apartment residences looking down from their patio and into his yard/property. Sara Johnson, Continental Properties, W134N8675 Executive Parkway, Menomonie Falls, WI, stated that Continental Properties will build and manage the development. Ms. Johnson continued to further explain the property look and what will be included. Ms. Johnson stated that any landscaping concerns can be fixed where the space allows. Parking at the clubhouse and additional street parking is available for the residents to utilize. Operations staff would oversee monitoring of the community parking. Ms. Johnson addressed Mr. Maricle’s concern and stated that the elevation with the garages is what will be fronting the property to the northern boundary. Commissioner Rivera inquired if the three-story building could be moved to a different spot on the property. Ms. Johnson stated that the goal was to have a natural increase in the building height. A review can be done of the master plan to see if different options are available. Rivera inquired about the lighting through out the community. Ms. Johnson stated that the site will have pole lights. The poles will be shielded so that light isn’t affecting neighboring properties. MOTION by Kenninger to close the public hearing. Second by Reed. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. Motion Passes. The public hearing closed at 7:13 pm. Additional Comments: Chair Kenninger stated that this development will be a great addition to the community.
