Memo to Mayor and City Council/P01-13 <br />December 17, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Zoning/Land Use <br /> <br />Rle (Single Family Residential) / MR (Medium Density Residential) <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />The subject property is 79 acres and has rolling wooded topography covering most of the <br />site with the exception of the southeast corner. The entire western edge includes a portion <br />of Kliever's Marsh and a 50-foot wide utility easement traverses the property from east to <br />west along the north property line. The property includes 2,620 feet of frontage on 175th <br />avenue and 1,312 feet on frontage on Filmore Street. <br /> <br />The 40 acre parcel to the north recently received preliminary plat approval to be platted as <br />Eagles Marsh, a 39 lot single family development serviced by municipal sewer and water. <br />There are also two 20 acre parcels north of the project. One is undeveloped and the other is <br />a single family residence. The single family residences on the east side of Filmore Street are <br />zoned Rla (Single Family Residential 2 ¼ minimum lot size) and are not within the Urban <br />Service District. The property on the south side of 175th Avenue is owned by Cargill, zoned <br />AR (Agricultural Research) and is also not within the Urban Service District. <br /> <br />Kliever's Marsh is considered a Natural Environment Lake by the Department of Natural <br />Resources; therefore, the Shoreland Ordinance will provide additional lot restrictions above <br />those required by the underlying zoning of Rle (Single Family Residential 12,000 square foot <br />minimum lot size). <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Land Use Amendment <br /> <br />The property is currently in the Urban Service District but is not scheduled to receive <br />municipal sewer and water until 2007, unless requested by the property owner. The applicant <br />is requesting that this parcel receive urban services prior to the 2007 date indicated on the <br />utility plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The developer is proposing to extend sewer <br />and water east along 175~h Avenue from Twin Lakes Road to the proposed plat. <br /> <br />During its decision-making process for establishing the 2007 date, it was the Council's intent <br />that utilities and assessments would not be forced into the eastern area, but that a property <br />owner wishing to request services could petition the City for such services. Staff has no <br />objection to extending services to this area prior to the 2007 date. <br /> <br />The applicant has also submitted a Petition for Improvements to extend municipal sewer <br />and water to the plat. <br /> <br />S :\PLANNING\SCOTT/P01-13 CC .DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
