CASE #: ~ <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF FOX KNOLL; <br />CASE OF MARK KLECKNER, FOX DEVELOPMENT CO. <br />By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Mark Kleckner of Fox Development Company is requesting sketch plan review of Fox Knoll, a <br />plat consisting of two 10-acre lots that will require construction of a street. Because of the required <br />street construction, the plat must be processed as a full subdivision with a public hearing and <br />preliminary plat, rather than as a minor subdivision. The following items are enclosed for your <br />review and information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed sketch plan <br />City Staff review letter dated August 2, 1994 <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The subject property is in the Urban Reserve District for which there is a minimum lot size of 10 <br />acres. The lots as proposed meet the minimum lot size requirement. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that the property will be brought into the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) <br />boundary by the end of 1994 and the property immediately south of this property will be sewered <br />during 1995. Once the property is brought into the MUSA, the development of the property must <br />be at urban standards with City sewer and water. The developer is apprehensive that the cost to <br />extend those services to this peninsula of high ground will be too great and prohibit economically <br />sound development of the property. As in insurance measure, the developer desires to plat two 10 <br />acre lots while he still can under the Urban Reserve District standards to ensure some return on his <br />investment in the property if developing it at urban standards is not feasible. <br /> <br />City Staff is of the opinion that the costs to extend sewer and water to this property for the creation <br />of 20 to 30 lots will not be unreasonable. Therefore, the developer should apply for a preliminary <br />plat approval to subdivide the property at urban standards. Following that, he could final plat two <br />urban size lots and the remainder of the property could be platted as outlots for final plat approval <br />and development when city sewer and water is available. <br /> <br />If in the future it is determined that the cost to serve the area with city sewer and water is <br />unreasonable, then the developer is not obligated to final plat the outlots. In this scenario, the <br />outlots would continue to provide the necessary area density for the two lots that are final platted to <br />be developed under 4 in 40 density zoning with on-site septic systems. <br /> <br />If in the future it is determined that the cost to serve the area with city sewer and water is <br />reasonable, the developer simply has to apply for final plat approval of the outlots based on the <br />approved preliminary plat. <br /> <br /> <br />
