Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning and preliminary plat at the November 13, 2018 meeting. Comments at the public hearing included questions about utility lines, flooding and wetland concerns, home locations, tree preservation and questions regarding Pioneer Park. Flooding concerns were shared with the Coon Creek Watershed District.
Background
This is a request for preliminary plat approval and a rezoning for 60 acres on the northeast corner of Radisson Road and 125th Avenue. The applicant is proposing to plat 5 single family lots on 60 acres.
Rezoning
A majority of this property is zoned FR (Farm Residential) and a small portion of the property is zoned R-1AA (Single Family). Parcels A and B are the parcels that are zoned FR and parcels C, D and E are zoned R-1AA as those parcels were rezoned and platted as outlots with different phases of the Partridge Preserve development. With this request it is proposed that Parcels A and B be rezoned to R-1AA to be consistent with the zoning of parcels C, D and E, and the surrounding development.
The proposed lots are large in size compared to other lots zoned R-1AA due to the amount of wetlands on these lots. The wetland boundaries have been determined and agreed to and the developer has placed the house pads on the upland portion of the lots. It is unlikely that these lots will be further subdivided in the future due to the wetland constraints. The smallest lot being platted is 3.17 acres and the largest being platted is 12.18 acres. All lots are being served by City sewer and water.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the rezoning Ordinance.
