Background/Discussion The applicant is proposing to complete the final phase of The Villas at Fillmore. This phase includes six single- family lots located on a private drive. The site has limited development potential due to existing wetlands, storm water features, sanitary sewer limitations, and a large overhead powerline. These factors contributed to the developers' decision to construct the project on a private street. Site Plan The project includes one private cul-de-sac providing access to all six parcels, which are generally 60-feet wide. Parking is provided on the driveway and with six parking stalls perpendicular to the private street. The homes will be a minimum of 10-feet apart and maintenance will be addressed by an HOA. Public Utilities All six homes will be connected to city sewer and water. However, the sewer service requires a private lift station to convey the effluent to the city's system. The city will not maintain this lift station, and the development will connect to the public system near the intersection of 177th Ave and Fillmore Street. The water main is located beneath the trail on the west side of Fillmore Street and the developer will need to make two connections to provide the required loop of service. The water main providing service to this phase was installed by the developer with the first phase of this subdivision, but ERMU reimbursed the developer as the extension was for a looped service at the time. ERMU has requested reimbursement for this cost as the extension is now providing service for this phase. These types of utility services are generally installed at the developer's expense. The condition noting the reimbursement cost has been updated since the Planning Commission review and is based on ERMU's recommendation. Park and Recreation Commission The Commission reviewed the project on March 12, 2025, and recommended park dedication be paid for six low-density residential parcels. The developer had installed the trail along Fillmore with their first and second additions. The trail was installed by the developer, but the city funded the trail through park dedication funds. Planning Commission The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 25, 2025, to review the ordinance amendment and the preliminary plat. Two residents spoke during the public hearing. The first, a resident east of the project area, inquired whether the existing ingress/egress easements he has along the north property line will be impacted. This easement was granted in 1984 and is noted on the final plat as an easement that will remain in place. The second resident asked several questions specific to the proposed setback from natural features and distance from existing homes. The proposed project meets the required setbacks, but staff noted to the Planning Commission that as the project is being reviewed as a PUD, they could require increased setbacks. The applicant also spoke and noted that this phase will have the same HOA and builder as the first two additions. Page 161 of 304
