Presentation - Mr. Trudgeon stated that North Fork, Inc. has applied for preliminary plat approval of St. Andrews Addition. The plat consists of 44 lots ranging in size from 1 to 3.5 ac[es. ~ but 6 of the lots meeting the 160 foot minimum lot width requirement for the Northfork'?.U.D-. at.the 40 foot building setback. Four of those 6 lots can be easily reconfigured':f$' meet the..~width requirement but Lots 11 and 12 of Blo'ck 2 are very narrow. A couple of.PPtions are to make Lots 11 and 12 one lot or require a building setback at a point where-the lots are 160 feet The proposed street names deviate fi:om the ~m'id pattern but have b-eenl approvs~ in the past for Northfork. ~ ~.:~ Citizen Input : .... Dennis Peck - Director Of Development for Northf0rk - Stated that. he has reviewed the Staff Review Letter and a~ees that most of the lots can be reconfigured, to meet the 160 foot width requirement at the standard building setback line. On Lots 11 and I2' will back up to the lake so there is a limit as to how far back on the lots the homes can be sited. Mr. Peck stated that his engineer is working to resolve Lots 11 and 12 in a way that the homes:Would~ . not'have to be set back from the front property, iine any further t..han 80 feet. If the setback_is. I~imited to 100 feet, they should be able to meet the 160-foot lot width requirement at that point.. Mr. Peck stated that he will supply erosion control' data to'-the City Engineer. There are".no living trees on the property, but each lot will be ~re~tuired"~ do substantial planfogs.by, the builder. Historically, street names in this area ofNorthfc rk have'been associated with British links. Larry Koshak - 15700 St. Andrews Lane 2 Stated' that there is a history in this development and there was supposed' to bed lake called North Fork Lake and it appears that North Fork Lake is no lon~er a concept.'; 'It was supposed to be a combinatibn of the existing manmade lake to the east that was supposed to extend onto this plat. ,~,.. - Mr. peck replied that there Will be no continuation of the two lakes because of the golf course; there is no way to cormec~ the tWo lakes. In 1989, there was a concept plan for a 3~ lake but at this point there ~as not'been any discussi0'n of one big lake for a long time. "'~a~-y KSshak- State~I-that he~'objects to calling the street St. Andrews Court as it could be confusing. 'The ~ading ptan~calls for some exportation of materials and he doesn't want that traffic on residential streets. Mr. Peck stated:that there is a ~ading plan that has been submitted to the City. At this point, Mr. Peck reviewed~an overhead of the entire Northfork P.U D. and identified the subject area. The .ori~nal ~ading plan called for exporting 800,000 yards of material and that has been eliminated because there, is no market and North Fork is trying to reach finality of this phase. There is 30 'acres south'of t 53rd that the draft comprehensive plan targets for residential multiples. It is a low area that could use some fill. The City has an interest in taking some of the fill material fi:om St. Andrews Addition for the extension of 153~ Avenue N.W. Additienal fill may also be needed elsewhere within the P.U.D. And, 60,000-100,000 yards may go to Elk River this winter. The Planning Commission/January 2, 2001 Page 4 of 15 i I I -20- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
