Memo to Planning Commission/P 97-8 May 26, 1998 Page 2 • On May 27, 1997 Contractor Property Developers Company (CPDC) and Westwood Professional Services presented plans for a residential planned unit development of 280 acres into 322 single family lots and 200 townhouse lots. Discussion of that proposal was continued to the June 24, 1997 meeting after which it was postponed. Since that time CPDC has revised their plans to included an additional 80 acres and 87 lots for a total of 361 acres and 609 lots. Attached for your reference are copies of the May 27th and June 24th meetings. At Tuesday night's meeting the applicant will present their plans for your comments. After receiving the Commission's input, staff will work with the developer to address the issues raised by the Commission. It is hoped that the applicant will submit revised plans in time to be back to the Planning Commission in June or July for a recommendation to the City Council. Staff met with the applicant last week and the following issues were brought up: • Phasing and the time frame for extension of municipal sewer and water The applicant indicated a multi-year time frame for development based on • market demands. The first phase would include some of the townhouses located in the southwest corner along County Road 12 and a mix of the single family lots in the southern and eastern portion of the site. Following phases would extend development into the northern and central portions of the site. The extension of utilities through the site would likely occur as part of phase one because of the need to loop service through the property. • Varying lot sizes and the need to provide space for snow storage in cul-de- sacs Some of the lots on cul-de-sacs have street frontage of 45 feet. This can cause problems with snow storage. Options to address this issue included increasing the frontage or providing easements for snow storage along lot lines. In his memo to the Planning Commission Phil Hals recommended dedicated right-of-way for snow storage not less than 30 feet in width. The possibility of providing landscaped islands in the center of cul-de-sacs was also discussed. • The need for detailed plans for the townhouse development In order to receive final approval for the townhouse developments detailed plans will be needed. These plans will include site specific grading, drainage III and utility plans, specific landscaping plans and townhouse elevations. \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\cu97-11.doc
