Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning and preliminary plat. Public comments included questions regarding the homeowners association and the buffer zone.
Background
The applicant, Frank Feela, is proposing to develop a property that has been vacant for many years and that lies north of North Road and west of Lever Street. It is a 3.19 acre parcel that has a current zoning of R-1 (Single Family) and a land use of LDR (Low Density Residential).
REZONING
Mr. Feela is proposing to create 11 single family lots on this property. While this number of lots fits with the current land use of the property, the applicant wishes to change the zoning of the property to DF (Development Flex) to provide more flexibility with setbacks, lot size, etc. In return the City can require upgraded building elevations and landscaping to provide a nice product and neighborhood for the area.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The proposed plat of Carole's Cove contains 11 single family lots. The lots will be accessed via the creation of a cul-de-sac, Kissel Court NE. All of the storm water features of the plat will be maintained by the private association for this plat.
The applicant will be required to pay park dedication for this plat in the amount of $3,404 per lot, for total due of $37,444. This fee must be paid prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording at Anoka County.
The cul-de-sac will be a public street with dedication of 60 feet of right-of-way and shall be constructed to 29 feet back to back in width.
Standard utility and drainage easements must be dedicated along all lot lines and over areas of infiltration trenches, drainage swales, and storm water management ponds. The Developer is to provide access for inspection and maintenance of the storm water management infrastructure. Restrictions will be placed on lot lines as needed to limit fences and landscaping to insure access. Design of landlocked storm water features must be designed based on back-to-back 100 year events.
Development requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II General Storm Water Permit for construction activity from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). A prerequisite to the MPCA permit application preparation of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the development site.
The Developer will need to obtain a Rice Creek Watershed prior to any activity on site.
As-built surveys shall be required to verify structure elevations, custom grading requirements, and final lot grading elevations.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
