Memo to Mayor and City Council/P01-13 December 17, 2001 Page 3 Preliminary Plat Overview The preliminary plat is comprised of 97 lots, an exception and 8 outlots on 64.13 developable acres. The outlots include cul de sac islands and median islands at the entrances to the plat and shoreline along Kliever's Marsh. There is also a 5.6 acre parcel (Outlot E) that will likely be replatted in the future as a residential lot. The plat is comprised of 4 cul-de- sac streets and 3 through streets. There is an existing single family residence on the property that will remain on one of the newly platted lots. Analysis Lots As stated earlier, Kliever's Marsh is classified as a Natural Environment Lake. Therefore, the Department of Natural Resources and the City of Elk River's Shoreland Ordinance provides additional restrictions for plats adjacent to shoreland areas. The underlying zoning district of Rle, Single Family, allows a minimum lot area of 12,000 square feet, with a minimum lot width of 80 feet. The Shoreland Ordinance requires lots adjacent to Natural Environment Lakes to be 40,000 square feet in area if they are riparian lots (lots adjacent to the water), or 20,000 square feet in area for non-riparian lots (lots not directly adjacent to the water). The minimum lot width for these lots must be 125 feet at the front setback. These standards apply to all lots within 1,000 feet of a Natural Environment Lake's ordinary high water level. The lots in the plat range in size from 12,025 square feet to 138,952 square feet. Access As described earlier, the preliminary plat will include 3 through streets. Ivanhoe Street, the only access to and from 175th Ave on the south side of the property and 176th Lane, which runs parallel to the north edge of the property, connects with Filmore Street to the east. 175th Lane and Grant Street are internal streets that connect Ivanhoe Street with 176~h Lane. 176th Court will connect to the Eagles Marsh development located north of the property. Grading, Drainage and Utilities The City Engineer will address grading, drainage and utilities in his memo. He will brinf copies of his memo to Monday's meeting. Landscaping The developer has submitted a landscape plan, .which complies with the ordinance requirement for one street tree and one yard tree per lot with two of each on corner lots.
