Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning. There were comments at the public hearing regarding construction noise, parking and tree removal. There was also a comment made regarding the need for another park in the area.
Background
At this time the applicant is requesting the approval of a preliminary plat for the 10th Addition of Quail Creek, which contains 96 single family lots and three outlots. This plat will complete the final stages of the Quail Creek development as this plat will encompass the vacant land between the Quail Creek development and the Wagamon Ranch development.
Rezoning
A portion of the plat (approximately 80 acres) needs to be rezoned to R-1AA (Single Family) from FR (Farm Residential). Some of the plat, as you can see on the attached zoning and location map, was zoned R-1AA from the previous platting activities of the first 9 additions of Quail Creek. To complete this development, the remaining parcel that is still zoned FR needs to be rezoned to R-1AA to match the zoning of the remainder of the Quail Creek development.
Preliminary Plat
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. All of the outlots will be used for drainage and utility purposes.
This plat will provide an access connection to the east to the development of Wagamon Ranch through the 132nd Avenue alignment. This connection is an essential element of the interconnectivity that the City seeks to provide between the neighborhoods in this area, and this connection has been planned for throughout the first 9 additions of Quail Creek.
Park dedication for this plat is required prior to release of the plat for recording at Anoka County. The park dedication fee is $4,114 per lot or $394,944 for 96 new lots. It is assumed however that this plat will be phased with park dedication paid at the per lot rate in effect at time of each final plat.
A permit from the Coon Creek Watershed District will be required prior to any grading work on site.
An approved grading, street and utility plan will be required prior to any construction activity on site. Plan will need to include a six-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the north side of 132nd Avenue along with an eight-foot bituminous trail along the south side.
It is expected that this plat, and the necessary improvements, will be phased over two or more construction seasons.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the ordinance.
