Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 11/02/1990

Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman Page 2 September 26, 1990 o 10. One outlot is located on the river adjacent to the proposed addition to Anoka County's park (current Kelly property). No provision is made for future street extension to the outlot and it would remain undevelopable. At least a portion of this is expected to be used as private open space providing access to the river for the subdivision. The east portion of the property currently is within the MUSA and the westerly portion has received contingent approval to incorporate into the MUSA. A comp plan amendment addressing the conditions was submitted to MC on 9/24/90· Final MC approval expanding the MUSA has not yet been received. The westerly cul-de-sac on the interior residential area is 680' exceeding the city's allowable maximum of 600'. This could be avoided by extending the proposed cul-de-sacf creating a through street and reconfiguring the lots. This proposal landlocks the Kelly property based on the assumption of Anoka County's purchase for parks. An easement should be given to provide a street right-of-way in the event an alternative development takes place. The street easement could then be vacated if the Kelly property is purchased for park. The proposed development would conflict with requirements of Airport Safety Zoning due to single family development on lots less than 2.5 acres in size. If a zoning ordinance is adopted, 10 lots would not be developable even though they were platted. The city then may be challenged to provide compensation to the developer for the loss of 10 lots. No alternative uses would be permitted since the affected parcels on each side of the road would not meet a minimum 2.5 acre lot size. The east residential street should be moved to the west so that flexibility is maintained which would allow compatibility with airport zoning should it be implemented in the future. Shifting the road west to align with the east cul-de-sac would provide the flexibility for future development of either single family lots or a multiple residential development. The residential lots on the cul-de-sacs south of 137th are partially located within the 100 year flood plain. Development of these lots would preclude basements and the occupancy level must be a minimum of 850 elevation.
