Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. There were comments at the public hearing with regard to standing water in the area of the development and drainage concerns.
 
Background
To date, 286 lots have been platted with the first eight additions of the Quail Creek development in northern Blaine.  At this time the applicant is requesting the approval of a preliminary plat for the 9th Addition of Quail Creek, which contains 14 single family lots and one outlot.  
 
The lots in the plat all meet the minimum lot size, lot depth and lot width requirements of the R-1AA (Single-Family) zoning district.  The outlot is 24.54 acres and it is anticipated that it will be further developed with single family homes in the future.  A concept plan has been provided that indicates how that development could occur, and it also indicates that 132nd Avenue will continue to the southeast and a connection will be made with an extension of the Quail Creek Parkway which will extend east to the adjacent property.  
 
Park dedication for this plat is required prior to release of the plat for recording at Anoka County.  The park dedication fee is $2,813 per lot or $39,382 for 14 new lots.
 
A permit from the Coon Creek Watershed District will be required prior to any grading work on site.
 
The site and individual lots will be mass graded and there will be significant tree loss as the site is heavily wooded. The City's Tree Preservation ordinance requires replacement for a portion of those trees at the rate of seven (7) trees per acre. The disturbed area for the plat has been shown as seven acres which results in 49 replacement trees. These trees can be replaced by planting them on the lots (three trees per lot would be 42 trees). The remaining seven trees can be planted in the development, based on a plan approved by the City, or a payment can be made by the developer to the City's reforestation fund for the remaining trees.   
 
An approved street and utility plan will required prior to any construction activity on site.  Plan will need to include a six-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the south side of 132nd Avenue.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
