Trout Brook Estates <br />July 13, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />· Building Elevations and Floor Plans <br />· June 16, 2004 Memo from Rebecca Haug, Environmental Technician regarding wetland <br /> impacts <br /> <br />120-Day Rule <br /> <br />In order to comply with Minnesota Statute 15.99, a decision on this request must be made <br />by July 27, 2004. <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />The parcel under consideration has a land area of 115.56 acres. Located on the subject <br />property is an existing family farmstead located in the southwest corner of the site, with <br />access from County Road 13 (Twin Lakes Road). Also located on the site are 10 wetland <br />complexes of varying types, most of which are Type 2 that can be characterized as <br />predominantly grass with no open water. There are two Type 3 open water wetlands located <br />on the site. Two of the wetlands are Type 7 wetlands, which are essentially forested. Each <br />of these wetland complexes are associated with tree cover and shrubby underbrush. <br /> <br />The subject parcel is bounded by County Road 13 and five large lot single-family parcels on <br />the west, Trott Brook Farms to the south, and vacant developable sites to the east, with the <br />exception of the Ertel parcel which contains a single family dwelling at the far north point of <br />the site. Judicial Ditch #1 (Trott Brook) borders the east side of the development. <br /> <br />Proposed Development <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing a 142-unit single-family detached residential development. One <br />of the 142 units is for the existing farmstead, which will be located on the 7.27-acre lot in the <br />southwest corner of the site. <br /> <br />Several streets are proposed, with two main streets through the development. Smith Drive <br />will connect the project on the south boundary with the Trott Brook Farms development <br />and will also provide access to the Roley property located on the east side of the plat. <br />Becker Trail (188th Lane) will provide the primary entry from County Road 13. The <br />developer will be required to realign Tyler Street in order to create a 90-degree four-legged <br />intersection. Tyler Street within the plat will parallel the residential properties on the west <br />side and will provide subdivision opportunities for those parcels, should they chose to <br />pursue them. <br /> <br />Zone Change Request <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from Rld Single Family Residential to PUD <br />Planned Unit Development. When reviewing a zone change, the Planning Commission and <br />City Council need to evaluate the consistency of the request with the underlying land use, the <br />consistency of the use with the proposed zoning district, and the compatibility of the <br />requested zoning district to adjacent zoning districts.
