Memo to City Council/P 04-17 August 16, 2004 Page 2 Overview The applicant is proposing a 32 lot single family development on a 14-acre parcel that will be accessed from County Road 12 on the north and from the Elk Meadows/I~diever Lake Fields subdivisions from the east at 180th Avenue. The applicant has revised the plat slightly from what was presented at the Planning Commission meeting. They will be purchasing additional land along Lots 1-5, Block 1 to be able to provide these five lots. The plat the Planning Commission reviewed only had two lots along that portion of Nixon Circle with one of the lots requiring a variance. With the additional land, the applicant is proposing three additional lots. The new layout of lots does not require any variances. Analysis The existing parcel has moderate topography and approximately one third of the site has trees. The proposed plat is comprised of 32 lots that range in size from .27-acres to 1.04- acres. The average lot size is approximately one third of an acre. The lots meet the dimensional requirements for the Rl-c zoning district. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that cash for 32 lots be paid for park dedication. Access and Circulation Access to the sire will be from County Road 12 on the north and also from the development to the east. Provisions for future connections to the north, south and west parcels are addressed in the City Engineer's and Sherburne County Public Works memos. Landscaping No landscape plan was submitted with the revised plat. A plan will need to be submitted that meets the ordinance requirements. Grading. Drainage and Utilities The City Engineer's memo addresses grading, drainage and utilities. Planning Commission Actions The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat with an additional condition that Nixon circle shall be platted to the south boundary to the plat.
