The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan at their December 4, 2003 <br />meeting. · <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Preliminary plat <br />c) Tree Preservation Plan <br />d) Grading Plan <br />e) Planning Commission minutes dated December 4, 2003 <br />f) City Staff review letter dated March 26, 2004 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State statute requires notification of preliminary plat public hearing to owners of property located <br />within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet <br />of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Oakwood Land Development is proposing to create 26 urban single-family lots on six existing <br />parcels (Lot 1, Block 2 of High Point 2nd Addition along with five metes-and-bounds lots to the <br />south). There are a total of 6 existing homes on the subject property; 4 will remain after <br />development. As proposed, the plat will require a ComprehenSive Plan Amendment to change <br />the subject property's land use designation from Rural Developing to Low Density Residential. <br /> <br />Ail the proposed lots meet urban single-family standards for lot width, size, and frontage on a <br />public road. There are substantial wetlands on the proposed plat that will need to be encumbered <br />with drainage and utility easements on the final plat. The proposed plat is subject to density <br />transition requirements located in City Code, as well as the Tree Preservation ordinance. <br /> <br />The proposed plat will gain access from 153rd Lane NW and Sunfish Lake Blvd. The Sunfish <br />Lake Blvd. access will line up with the new access being created for the Alpine Acres <br />development on the east side of Sunfish Lake Blvd. The proposal, also provides for a future <br />connection to the remainder of High Point 2nd Addition to the north. Staff is requesting that the <br />applicant explore the possibility of providing a stub street to serve the lots in the southeastern <br />port/on of the plat, should they develop in the future. The proposed cul-de-sac does not exceed <br />the 600-ft. length restriction. ' <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
