I I I I I I I I I CASE #: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF PONDVIEW; CASE OF GOOD VALUE HOMES By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: John Pcterson of Good Value Homes is requesting preliminary plat approval of Pondview. The property is located in the northeast corner of the intersection of Industry Avenue and Ramsey Blvd. (C.S.A.H. #56). The plat consists of about 85 acres proposed to be subdivided into approximately 149 single family lots. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) 0 Site location map Proposed preliminary plat, revision date 1/23/96 Letter dated November 20, 1995 from Anoka County Highway Department Letter dated December 29, 1995 from DNR City Staff review letter dated January 8, 1996 Planning Commission public hearing and regular meefig minutes dated January 20, 1996. Notification: State statute requires notification of the preliminary plat public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff notified properties within 400 feet of the subject property of the public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission. The Developer also held an informational meeting on December 27, 1995 for the benefit of the neighboring property owners to the north. Observations: The subject property is zoned Industrial and a rezoning to R-1 Urban Residential has been properly applied for. The lots bordering Wetland #2-118 are under shoreland regulations and considered riparian. As such, they are required to be 15,000 square feet in area and that minimum must be calculated above the ordinary high water level. The preliminary plat dated 1/23/96 reflects that the riparian lots do meet the shorelar~d requirements. All other lots are considered non-riparian and as such, are required to meet the standard urban minimum area of 10,800 square feet. All non-riparian lots are in compliance. The plat has two accesses onto Industry Avenue and one onto Ramsey Blvd., the locations of which received preliminary approval from the Anoka County Highway Department. The preliminary plat has been forwarded to Anoka County for final approval of the access locations. The Planning Commission recommends that the developer be required to install left mm, right mm and by pass lanes at the access onto C.S.A.H. #56. If turn lanes are required, the developer has requested that the associated cost be ciedited against any transportation impact fee that would be assessed. The Council would need to decide whether this improvement would take priority over other needs the transportation impact fee may need to finance. The County has not requested turn lanes and staff feels future intersection signalization would take a higher priority than mm lanes.
