Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The proposed plat contains 3 single family lots and will be known as Hennum Meadows 2nd Addition. The existing home on Lot 1 will remain however there are two detached accessory structures on Lots 2 and 3 that will be required to be removed prior to the plat being recorded with Anoka County. All of the lot sizes exceed the minimum lot size requirement of the R-1 zoning district, which is 10,000 square feet. The lot sizes range from 10,914 square feet to 19,382 square feet.
Park dedication will be required for the 2 new lots being proposed within the plat. The city’s current park dedication rate for single family lots is $4,449 per unit (2019 rate). A total park dedication fee of $8,898 would become due prior to final plat mylars being released to the developer for recording at Anoka County.
The plat will be graded so as to preserve as many trees as possible on these lots.
Please note that we do not need to obtain house product information for this approval because it is an infill plat with a specific zoning designation. All of the houses must simply meet the requirements of the R-1 zoning district.
The existing home (Lot 1) has a circular drive on Jackson Street/102nd Lane that will be required to be removed and established with grass. The existing driveway off of 102nd Lane that accesses the existing home’s garage will need to be constructed to connect to the existing garage on Lot 1 as shown on the grading plan.
The preliminary plat shows a portion of the existing Jackson Street right-of-way to be vacated. At this time however, staff feels that the right-of-way should remain in place until the parcel west of Jackson Street develops allowing future development additional flexibility.
Developer will need to obtain a Coon Creek Watershed permit prior to city plan approval. Infiltration of water runoff is required for the plat. Those lots that will contain an infiltration basin will be required to maintain it in accordance with the approved watershed permit. These lots will need to have a maintenance agreement included with the purchase agreement and shall clearly spell out the requirements and responsibility of the homeowner.
Construction of the infiltration basin proposes a drain tile connection to an existing catch basin off of the plat. The developer will need to obtain written permission from existing property owners affected by the drain tile construction prior to any plan approval by the city.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
