CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 10/23/2018 Submitted For: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development 7. 4. Information Title: Provide Feedback on Preliminary Plat Application for Shade Tree Cottages; Case of Shade Tree Communities Purpose/Background: Shade Tree Communities has applied for a preliminary plat for Shade Tree Cottages. The purpose of this case is to provide general feedback and discuss the possible PUD with the applicant. The Planning Commission met on October 4, 2018 and noted several concerns, including defining the actual public benefit for the PUD and public road width, with the preliminary plat. Ultimately, they tabled action on the item until their next meeting, November 1, 2018 to provide the applicant an opportunity to 'fine-tune' the proposal. Staff is looking for general feedback on the proposed 35 home subdivision (34 detached townhomes, one single family home) off Nowthen Boulevard and Potassium Street. The site was previously granted preliminary and final plat approval for a subdivision via Planned Unit Development (PUD) in 2005, but the final plat has since expired. Since the previous approval, City Code requirements for lot size and wetland setbacks have changed. The PUD zoning remains on the parcel, though the underlying zoning was R-1 (MUSA). As proposed, Potassium Street would be a 24-foot wide public road, improved from its current status of a gravel road. The applicant has requested a cost -share on this road improvement with the City. The City Council previously responded to an unofficial request for a cost -share. The applicant must provide a detailed cost -share breakdown for the City Council to respond to. The applicant and Staff are looking for general feedback from the City Council on the PUD proposal. Notification: No notification required for preliminary review. Funding Source: The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with review of the project. Recommendation: Staff is looking for general feedback for the applicant from the City Council on whether or not this proposal would be approved, and if there is anything specific the applicant should add to their plans. Action: No motion required. Staff would like feedback for the applicant before returning to the next Planning Commission meeting.
