Regular Planning Commission Meeting Date: 07/06/2017 Submitted For: Alec Henderson, Community Development By: Alec Henderson, Community Development 5. 3. Information Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Preliminary Plat Plan, Zoning Amendment, Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Estates of Silver Oaks 2nd Addition (Project No. 17-119); Case of John Peterson Purpose/Background: The purpose of this file is to review the official Preliminary Plat Plan, prepared by Roshell Engineering, LLC, for Estates of Silver Oaks 2nd Addition. This subdivision would create eight (8) new single family residential lots and it located on Lithium Street NW, PID #14-32-25-12-0011 (the "Subject Property"). The Preliminary Plat Plan submitted includes nine (9) sheets. The application also includes a request for a Zoning Amendment and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Planning Commission reviewed the Sketch Plan for this project at the June 1, 2017 meeting. 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: Preliminary Plat Plan Review is the second of several steps in reviewing a Major Plat, which includes Sketch Plan Review, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat. This case is being reviewed per City Code Section 117-111 entitled R-1 Residential District and Chapter 117, Article III entitled Subdivisions. Comprehensive Plan: The Subject Property is currently guided as Rural Developing in the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Rural Developing land use designation is to allow for the construction of single-family dwellings without access to municipal sewer and water. The eight (8) lots in the Preliminary Plat are proposed to be served by municipal sewer and water. This will require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re -guide the Subject Property as Low Density Residential (LDR). The adjacent property to the south, which was platted as Estates of Silver Oaks, is guided as LDR as a result of a previous Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Zoning: The Subject Property is currently zoned as R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). This allows for the development of single family, detached dwellings with a density of one (1) unit per 2.5 acres. As proposed, the project will require a Zoning Amendment to rezone the Property to R-1 Residential (MUSA), which would allow a net density of up to three (3) units per acre and a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet. The proposed density of the project is 0.67 units per acre and it appears to meet the minimum lot size and width standards of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) district. Dimensional/Bulk Standards: The Developer must demonstrate compliance with the bulk standards of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) district, based on the request for a Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Preliminary Plat appears to comply with the standards specified for this zoning district. Specifics are outlined in the Staff Review File. Wetlands:
