Chairperson Stodola asked the number of lots. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that there would be a total of eight homes, one of which would <br />possess the existing home. He noted that the lot for the existing home would be larger than the <br />other seven buildable lots that would be created. <br />Board Member Valentine stated that it seems the big issue will be the stormwater and easement <br />issues. <br />City Planner Anderson agreed that will be a large issue but noted that there are solutions and <br />explained that it will simply come down to whether the solutions are feasible for the <br />development. <br />Board Member Hiatt asked if the developer initially provided the narrative on the easements. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that the applicant did not provide the information in their narrative <br />but when staff mentioned that item the applicant was able to turn that information around <br />quickly, therefore he believes that they had the information ready. He noted that the engineering <br />staff is reviewing the plans to determine if the proposed plans would be sufficient. <br />Board Member Hiatt stated that he does like the plan but expressed concern with the drainage <br />issue, noting that the issue should be resolved not just for the subject parcels but the surrounding <br />parcels as well. <br />City Planner Anderson noted that the engineering memorandum that addresses that issue would <br />become a part of the Staff Review Letter that moves forward to the Planning Commission. He <br />noted that the plans would also be subject to the approval of the Lower Rum River Water <br />Management Organization. <br />Motion by Board Member Hiatt and seconded by Board Member Valentine to recommend <br />approval of the Tree Preservation and Landscape Plans contingent upon compliance with the <br />Staff Review Letter. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Stodola, Board Member Hiatt, Valentine, Anderson, <br />Covart, and Trossen. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Member Bernard. <br />5.03: Consider Natural Resources Elements for Estates of Silver Oaks 2nd Addition <br />Preliminary Plat <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He reported that the City has received an <br />application for Preliminary Plat for a proposed eight lot subdivision to be known as Estates of <br />Silver Oaks 2nd Addition. He stated that the site is located east of TH 47 and north of 162nd <br />Lane. He stated that the site is currently zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) and thus, as <br />proposed, a Zoning Amendment and Comprehensive Plan amendment would also be needed. He <br />noted that the EPB reviewed certain aspects of this request at their May meeting. He provided <br />additional details on density transitioning that would be needed, noting that most often <br />developers choose landscaping and provided additional details on what would be needed.
