Memo to Mayor and City Council/P01-13 November 27,2001 Page 2 • Overview Existing Conditions The subject property is 79 acres and has rolling wooded topography covering most of the site with the exception of the southeast corner. The entire western edge includes a portion of Kliever's Marsh and a 50-foot wide utility easement traverses the property from east to west along the north property line. The property includes 2,620 feet of frontage on 175th avenue and 1,312 feet on frontage on Filmore Street. The 40 acre parcel to the north recently received preliminary plat approval to be platted as Eagles Marsh, a 39 lot single family development serviced by municipal sewer and water. There are also two 20 acre parcels north of the project. One is undeveloped and the other is a single family residence.The single family residences on the east side of Filmore Street are zoned Rla(Single Family Residential) and are not within the Urban Service District.The property on the south side of 175th Avenue is owned by Cargill, zoned AR (Agricultural Research) and is also not within the Urban Service District. Kliever's Marsh is considered a Natural Environment Lake by the Department of Natural Resources;therefore,the Shoreland Ordinance will provide additional lot restrictions above those required by the underlying zoning of R1e (Single Family Residential). Analysis • Land Use Amendment The applicant is requesting that this parcel be eligible to receive urban services prior to the 2007 date indicated on the utility plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The developer is proposing to extend sewer and water east along 175th Avenue from Twin Lakes Road to the proposed plat. During its decision-making process for establishing the 2007 date,it was the Council's intent that utilities and assessments would not be forced into the eastern area,but that a property owner wishing to request services could petition the City for such services. Staff has no objection to extending services to this area prior to the 2007 date. Preliminary Plat Overview The preliminary plat is comprised of 97 lots, an exception and 9 outlots on 64.13 developable acres. The outlots include cul de sac islands and median islands at the entrances to the plat and shoreline along Kliever's Marsh.The plat is comprised of 4 cul-de-sac streets and 3 through streets.There is an existing single family residence on the property that will remain on one of the newly platted lots. 1110
