CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 06/13/2017 Submitted For: Tim Gladhill, Community Development By: Eric Maass, Community Development Information 7. 1. Title: Consider Adoption of Resolution #17-06-127129 Approving Preliminary Plat for COR Stonebrook Academy (Project #17-101); Case of Michael and Kristen Johnson Purpose/Background: The City has received an application for Preliminary Plat for StoneBrook Academy, a proposed approximately 9,100 square foot building for a new child care center to be located west of Sunwood Village between Sunwood Drive and Veterans Drive. Notification: City Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property of the request via U.S. mail and published a notice of public hearing in the Anoka Union Herald, the City's official newspaper. Observations/Alternatives: The proposed project appears consistent with the Zoning and Future Land Use maps. The Preliminary Plat appears to meet the minimum bulk standards for the COR 2 sub -district. The Plat shows the creation of one (1) commercial lot and two (2) outlots to be developed at a later time. The one (1) commercial lot meets the bulk standards for the COR2 subdistrict for lot width and lot depth. Any necessary revisions are outlined in the Staff Review Letter. The intent of the project is to construct an approximately 9,100 square foot daycare facility with an auxiliary playground space of approximately 2,300 square feet, all of which is located on the proposed 36,925 square foot proposed parcel. Staff believes this proposed use will be an asset to the City and especially for The COR. The Environmental Policy Board (EPB) reviewed the proposed Preliminary Plat at its meeting on May 15, 2017 and recommended approval of the preliminary plat with corrections as noted in the Staff Review Letter. Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt Resolution #17-06-129 approving the Preliminary Plat request as recommended by the Planning Commission (see below). The proposed project appears to comply with the bulk standards of The COR Design Framework and the proposed use would be an asset to the COR development as well as the City of Ramsey. Planning Commission and Staff are supportive of this alternative contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. Alternative 2: Approve the project as currently presented (without Staff and Planning Commission recommendations). Note - it appears that the Developer is willing to make the recommended changes. Staff has instructed the Developer to wait to make any further revisions until the Planning Commission recommendation is confirmed/not confirmed by the City Council. Alternative 2: Do not adopt Resolution #17-06-129 that would approve the Preliminary Plat as requested. If the City
