Background
In 2015 the City Council reviewed and approved a conditional use permit and final plat for a development known as Carole’s Cove. The original developer did not pursue developing the property and the property has remained untouched since the original approval date. At this time a new developer has taken the lead on this project and is proposing the exact same plat and development that was approved in 2015. The new applicants, Keith Castonguay and Mark Olson (JoshuaMarkum Homes), are requesting that the conditional use permit and final plat be renewed and extended so they can develop this property over the spring and summer months. The number of lots and the civil plans have not been changed since 2015. The only thing that is new is the builder and the housing elevations have changed only slightly.
This information was taken from the original staff report:
The applicant 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).
The final plat of Ellie’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 $4,114 per lot, for total due of $45,254. 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.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 15-111.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
