Meeting Date: 10/24/2017 By: Chris Anderson, Community Development Information Title: Actions Related to Pearson Place (Project No. 16-31); Case of Development Consulting Services, LLC 1. Adopt Ordinance #17-10 Approving Zoning Amendment 2. Adopt Resolution #17-10-269 Granting Approval of Final Plat and Development Agreement for Pearson Place Purpose/Background: The City has received an application for Final Plat of Pearson Place, a proposed fourteen (14) lot single family residential subdivision located on the north side of Bowers Drive near the end of the cul-de-sac where there is a gap between existing homes (the "Subject Property"). Note that the Preliminary Plat consisted of twelve (12) new buildable lots. The Final Plat also consists of twelve (12) new, buildable lots but also includes two (2) existing homes to address setback concerns and to avoid an outlot containing a structure. The net increase in lots remains at twelve (12). As noted above, the other two (2) lots are simply reconfiguration of existing property lines. This is consistent with the Preliminary Plat approval. The Planning Commission reviewed a concept plan for this project in March of 2016 and the City also hosted two (2) public workshops regarding that concept plan in 2016 as well. The Planning Commission reviewed the official Sketch Plan for Pearson Place on June 1, 2017 and the Preliminary Plat and Zoning Amendment on July 6, 2017. The City Council approved the Preliminary Plat and introduced Ordinance #17-10 to rezone the Subject Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) on July 25, 2017. Notification: Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within a 700 foot radius of the Subject Property and all Property Owners on Bowers Drive of the Public Hearing via Standard US Mail. The Public Hearing was also published in the City's official newsletter, the Anoka County Union Herald. The project site is located within the Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area (MRCCA) and so Staff also notified the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Observations/Alternatives: The Subject Property is located on the north side of Bowers Drive, near the end of the cul-de-sac, which is slightly over a mile long. The twelve (12) new single family residential lots are on the north side of the road where there is a gap of approximately 1,400 feet between existing homes. The Final Plat also includes three (3) outlots. Outlot A runs along the rear lot lines of the existing homes on the north side of Bowers Drive to serve as a buffer to potential future development of the remaining agricultural land. Outlot C would reserve a corridor for a possible future street connection should the adjacent agricultural land be developed in the future. Outlot B simply addresses the remainder of the property (approximately 90 acres).
