Background/Discussion The subject parcel is located at the northeast corner of CR 121 (Brook Road) and Monroe Street and is 40 acres in size. The current zoning for the property is R1-a,which requires a minimum lot size of 2 '/z acre,permitting approximately 16 single-family lots. The applicant is proposing to rezone the parcel to R1-b which would allow 1 acre parcels without access to sewer and water. Their request would permit approximately 25 one-plus acre single-family lots. This parcel has a large wetland complex in the center and two smaller basins on both the west and east sides. Brook Road is a paved county road and Monroe Street is a city gravel road. The concept plat shows two cul-de-sac streets. One street is off of Monroe Street and the other street is off of Brook Road. The applicant has spoken with county on the access from Brook Road. Comprehensive Plan Rural Residential Rural Residential uses are guided to be developed as residential use in areas outside of the Urban Service District (USD) that are not currently served by municipal sewer and water. The predominant land use in this area is single family detached homes. Forms of detached single family units can be built in "cluster subdivision". Cluster subdivisions are development patterns that place housing closer together in order to preserve greater areas of undeveloped land and to minimize the number of individual on-site septic systems. A gross density of 0.4 units per acre (1 unit per 2.5 acres) is the target density in the Rural Residential area. Increases in density should be allowed for achieving certain public objectives such as preserving natural features (which are not otherwise protected by ordinance),implementing the city's trail and park master plan (beyond the typical required park dedication),incorporating energy-saving building techniques, or a combination of the above mentioned concepts.
