Review File: Covenant Meadows Final Plat June 9, 2017 Page 2 of 3 Staff provides the following comments for general review of the application: General. The Final Plat would re -plat Outlot A, MeadowBrook, Anoka County, Minnesota, into twelve (12) single family residential lots. The twelve (12) new lots would be accessed by two roadway extensions off of Germanium Street NW through the building of 172nd Lane NW and Iodine St NW. The Applicant applied for approval for a rezoning of the property from R-1 Rural Developing to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Ordinance #17-05 was recommended for approval by the planning commission and introduced for adoption at the April 25th, 2017 City Council meeting Lot Sizes. The minimum lot size in the R-1 Rural Developing District is 2.5 acres with a minimum lot width of 200 feet, measured at the building setback line. Through a Planned Unit Development (PUD) the Applicant is permitted to deviate from those lot requirements due to the presence of a public benefit. The Applicant is proposing lots which range in size from 1.00 acres to 2.92 acres in size and which range in lot width from 92 feet to 272 feet. The Applicant is not seeking any deviation from the R-1 Rural Developing bulk lot standards except for lot size and lot width.

DNR Review. The Applicant has submitted the necessary exhibit showing the tiers required for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) within the Shoreland Management District. Based on Staffs review of the exhibit it appears to meet the requirements of the ordinance. Metro Area Hydrologist Kate Drewry review the proposed development and indicated that the plan appeared to meet the open space requirement with 50% of the area along the Creek and the steep slopes proposed for dedication to the City and the smaller lots located in the tiers furthest from the Creek. They indicated that the plan should delineate the boundaries of the shoreland district tiers as well as the structure setback and bluff impact zones. This exhibit has been forwarded to the MN DNR for review and comment. Streets and Access: The proposed final plat includes public roads that will provide access to the plat which is consistent with the streets shown on the preliminary plat. The following roads are included in the plat and are labeled on the Final Plat: • Iodine Street NW • 172nd Lane NW Trails. The Applicant has revised the plan set to include a paved ADA connection from the proposed trail to the cul-de-sac bulb of Iodine St NW located between lots 5 and 6 of Block 1. As previously requested, the trail is shown within a 20 foot wide trail easement. The trail will be an eight (8) foot wide bituminous trail and will be constructed as a Stage I Improvement to provide immediate access to the land being deeded to the City.
