COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> 7.01: Consider Approvals Related to Plat Known as Covenant Meadows (Project #17- <br /> 102); Case of Eric Thomsen <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation of the <br /> Planning Commission and staff to approve rezoning of the subject property from R-1 Residential <br /> (Rural Developing) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and grant preliminary plat approval of <br /> Covenant Meadows, contingent upon compliance with the staff review letter. It was noted staff <br /> believes the proposed development is reasonable, compatible with the character of the <br /> surrounding development, minimizes impacts to steep slopes adjacent to Trott Brook, and <br /> provides the City with an important natural resource amenity surrounding Trott Brook. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted the point is to secure 15 acres of the corridor <br /> as it is a tributary to the river and warranted protection. He said this action would be by the <br /> developer and at no additional cost to the City and consolidate to the southern end of the <br /> development. He noted the Planning Commission recommended approval of the plat and the <br /> next step would be preparing the final plat for recording. <br /> Councilmember Johns said she was pleased to see this deeded land to the City as it is a beautiful <br /> amenity that should be maintained for everyone. She noted property owners typically want to <br /> build and mow right up to the water so this buffer is important. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to Introduce Ordinance <br /> #17-05 An Ordinance Amending Section 117-90 "Map" of Chapter 117 of the City Code of <br /> Ramsey, Minnesota and Adopt Resolution #17-02-053 Granting Preliminary Plat approval of <br /> Covenant Meadows. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Johns, Kuzma, <br /> Riley, Shryock, and Williams. Voting No: None.
