The site is located on the easternmost border of the City, adjacent to the City of Anoka. The purpose of the Sketch Plan is to review the general layout of the proposed lots, street/cul -de -sac and overall use of the property. He reviewed the comments received from Lano Equipment noting this company had concerns with the compatibility of the development of seven single - family homes adjacent to their business. He reported the subdivision (plat) application would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, and Easement Vacation. It was noted the site was currently guided as Business Park and is located within the E -1 Employment District, and a portion of the site is located within the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA). The request generally complies with the minimum standards of the R -1 Residential district; however, there were some potential deficiencies in the minimum lot width, side yard setbacks and the length of the cul -de -sac. Staff requested comment from the Commission and to then recommend the applicant either begin or not begin preparing a preliminary plat for further review. Planning Commission /April 3, 2014 Page 5of11
