Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 1996 Page 10 ..,---.................--........"'.........."".........................""",....,........--.------_......--.,......-.-.---.-.....--------...... Staff report by Steve Ach, City Planner. Phoenix Enterprises is requesting a preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 2 acres into 4 single family lots. The entire Hillside Estate area was originally proposed as a planned unit development and had a concept plan for approximately the 200 acre area which it covered. The original concept plan, proposed the extension of Baldwin Street north of its existing terminus to tie into a future street system which would be included in a later phase of Hillside Estates. The proposed plan is to modify the original concept by terminating Baldwin Street making it a cul-de-sac to serve the proposed four lots. The developers have also provided a revised concept plan for the area immediately north of Baldwin Street if it was to be cul-de-sac. Although this is a concept, staff has spent a little time reviewing the plan to see how it would fit in if Baldwin Street was to be cul-de-sac. The concept plan as prepared presents a few concerns with the reverse curves included on the street design, however, staff believes that the concept could be revised to satisfy these initial concerns. . The proposed lots range in size from approximately 16,000 square feet up to 20,000 square feet in area. All four of the lots meet the minimum lot size requirement in the R1 e zoning district, as well as the frontage requirement. When the lots along Baldwin Street were originally platted, the street name, along with the addressing was done based on the concept plan of Baldwin Street extending further north. If Baldwin Street is now to become a cul-de-sac, the street name will have to change to Baldwin Court, which will require all of the residents along this street to change their address. Concern for extension of utilities with utilities being extended further north to serve future phases of the Hillside Addition. Marly Glines, Phoenix Enterprises. Mr. Glines stated they do not want to run the water and utilities along the lot lines and are not in favor of looping water. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. David Raymond, 13686 Riverview Drive. Mr. Remand is from Sherburne County Dispatch and stated when a street is cut off it makes it difficult for finding an emergency request. Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Chair Dillon is concerned on looping the water. . Marly Glines, Phoenix Enterprises stated there were quite a bit of trees affected in this area by drought and oak wilt.
