Memo to the Planning Commission/P 96-13 June 24, 1997 Page 2 • Project Overview The preliminary plat still involves the same 38 acres, however, has now been reduced to 66 lots with the existing home in the northeast corner of the plat remaining on a large 3± acre parcel. Revisions to the plat include the following: • Reduction in the number of lots from 68 to 66 • Extending the depth of Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Block 1 to preserve trees • Re-orienting Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 to be consistent with Lafayette Woods and preserve additional trees. • Shifting the cul-de-sac in Block 4 further to the south to once again, save trees on the north portion of the property • Redesigning Highland Road with more of a curvilinear design and shifting it further to the south • Extending the Rush Street cul-de-sac to the south limits of the plat • Eliminating the outlots by combining the outlots with adjacent lots within the plat • Eliminating the cul-de-sac in the northeast corner of the project as recommended by Sherburne County. • Leaving the existing home in the northeast corner on a 3 acre parcel • Existing Home As mentioned above, the existing home will remain on a larger parcel without any additional streets or further subdivision occurring. It is recommended that water and sanitary sewer services still be provided to this home from the cul-de-sac immediately to the west. As a condition of plat approval, staff will recommend a deed restriction or some other type of covenant be placed on Lot 21 to prevent any further subdivision of the property based on the county's concern of additional access points onto Proctor Avenue. 193rd Avenue/Property Owner to the South As noted on the revised preliminary plat, Rush Street cul-de-sac will extend south all the way to 193rd Avenue. There will not be a physical connection of the streets at that location, however, by extending the cul-de-sac to the south, it would allow the opportunity for any property owners along 193rd to request the extension of Rush Street to provide access to their property for development purposes. Once again, the preliminary plat has been prepared and reviewed by city staff based on 193rd being closed to through-traffic for vehicles. As recommended in the past, 193rd Avenue could be converted to a III pedestrian corridor to connect Proctor Avenue with the city trail along the \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\pc\p96-13xx.doc
