<br />in its approval until the site is appropriately investigated and work is authorized. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The applicant is proposing to update the previous approval for the third addition and complete the final phase <br />of The Villas at Fillmore. The proposal includes six single-family lots located on a private drive. The site has <br />limited development potential due to existing wetlands, storm water features, sanitary sewer limitations, and <br />large overhead powerlines. These factors contributed to the developers' decision to construct the project on <br />a private street. <br /> <br />Site Plan <br />The project includes a private drive that provides access to all six parcels, which are generally 60-feet wide. <br />Additional parking, beyond the driveway areas, is provided on one side of the private drive. The homes will be <br />a minimum of 10-feet apart and maintenance will be addressed with a Homeowners Association (HOA). <br /> <br />Public Utilities <br />All six homes will be connected to city sewer and water. However, the sewer service requires a private lift <br />station to convey the effluent to the city's system. The city will not maintain this lift station, and the <br />development will connect to the public system near the intersection of 177th Ave and Fillmore Street. <br /> <br />The water main is located beneath the trail on the west side of Fillmore Street and the developer is proposing <br />a new service line for each home, which connects directly to the main. <br /> <br />The water main providing service to this phase was installed by the developer with the first phase of this <br />subdivision, but ERMU reimbursed the developer as the extension was for a looped service at the time. <br />ERMU has requested reimbursement for this cost as the extension is now providing service for this phase. <br />These types of utility services are generally installed at the developer's expense. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br />The Commission reviewed the project and recommended park dedication be paid for six low-density <br />residential parcels. The developer had installed the trail along Fillmore with their first and second additions. <br />The trail was installed by the developer, but the city funded the trail through park dedication funds. <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br />The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 27, 2025, to review the ordinance amendment and <br />preliminary plat. No one spoke for or against the request and the commission unanimously recommended <br />approval of the ordinance amendment and preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Support the growth and development of the community. <br />Opportunity to live, work, and play. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
