The property- <br />was recently rezoned to R-3 Urban Residential to allow for medium density residential <br />development. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your review: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />d) <br />e) <br />f) <br />g) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Overview Plan for Evergreen Point, Sunflower Ridge, <br />Sancturay <br />Planning Commission minutes dated January 3, 2002 <br />Park Commission minutes dated January 10, 2002 <br />Letter from Mn/DOT dated March 15, 2002 <br />City Staff Review Letter dated March 27, 2002 <br /> <br />& replat of Wildlife <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />A public hearing is required as part of the preliminary plat review process. Notice of the public <br />hearing was sent to property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The property is approximately 24.11 acres in size. As mentioned above, the property is currently <br />zoned R-3 Urban Residential, which allows for medium density residential development at a <br />density not to exceed 7 units per acre. The preliminary plat reflects a net density (subtracting <br />Alpine Drive and T.H. #47 road right-of-ways and wetlands) of 6.9 units per acre. The proposed <br />townhomes consist of two, four, and six unit structures. The site plan approval process for the <br />development will review these units in more detail. <br /> <br />In accordance with the newly adopted street policy for multiple residential developments and <br />suggestions from City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council, the developer has Worked <br />diligently to design the preliminary plat with a combination of public streets and private <br />driveway collectors, two accesses onto Alpine Drive and two accesses to the adjacent property to <br />the west. Consideration should be given to eliminating cut-through traffic and if there is not an <br />acceptable alternative, the private driveway between Lots 15 and 30 should be dedicated and <br />built as a public road. <br /> <br /> <br />
