5 Hinutes CASE #3: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF STANHOPE RIVER HILLS; CASE OF MS. ANN CANIS AND MR. TOM SKIBA By: Anne Norris~ Community Development Director Background: Ms. Ann Canis and Mr. Tom Skiba are requesting preliminary plat approval of Stanhope River Hills. The plat is located on that property located north of 153rd Avenue NW and east of Roanoke Street NW along the Rum River and is approximately 66 acres in size. The plat consists of 18 single family residential lots and one outlot located in the R-I Residential District. The plat is located within the Scenic Rivers Overlay District. The lots on the river are four acres in size and the off-river lots are 2-1/9 acres in size, in accordance with the Scenic Rivers requirements. Ms. Canis and Mr. Skiba are proposing to construct three cul-de-sacs and one temporary cul-de-sac off of Roanoke Street NW for access to these lots. Enclosed for your information are the following items: a) Site location map b) Proposed preliminary plat c) Letter dated August 22, 1986 from Mr. John Stine, DNR d) Letter to Mr. John Stine, DNR, from City Staff dated September 3, 1986 e) City Engineer's letter dated August 29, 1986 f) City Engineer's letter dated September 26, 1986 Observations: The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on this plat on July 8, 1986. City Staff and the developers met with Mr. John Stine of the DNR to review DNR and Staff concerns about the plat. Since that meeting, the developers have revised the preliminary plat to resolve these issues. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the revised plat on September 2, 1986 and recommended approval of the preliminary plat contingent upon the plat meeting the requirements of the City Engineer and DNR. The Planning and Zoning Commission also suggested that the Park and Recreation Commission review the outlot for future park use and recommended that the developers provide a ten foot easement along the southern boundary of the property to serve as access to the outlot/park area. The Public Works Superintendent reviewed the plat and suggested that the northern three cul-de-sacs be removed and a continuous street be constructed between Juniper Ridge Circle NW and 154th Lane NW. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this and rejected it, as it would create double frontage lots. The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed this plat on several occasions and has recommended that the City acquire the outlot for future park development along the river.
