Meeting Date: 03/26/2019 By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development Information Title: Review Sketch Plan for River Walk Village Located at 6080 Highway 10; Case of Village Bank (Project #18-163) Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review a Sketch Plan submitted by Village Bank (the "Applicant") for 6080 Highway 10 NW (the "Subject Property") for a 14 lot residential subdivision. Sketch Plan Review is a high level review of a concept of a proposed development. This step affords the City to provide high level feedback, identify any red flags, and identify pending questions the City would like answered on a more formal review. This step is intentionally more abstract than detailed review. There are multiple steps before project approval. There are no approvals or entitlements provided with this step. The applicant has proposed 50-foot wide, R-2 Detached Villa lots. The purpose of Sketch Plan is to provide the applicant high-level feedback and pertinent information to inform and expedite the Preliminary Plat process. The the project would require a rezoning and a comprehensive plan amendment - both of which are discretionary actions, meaning the City Council has the right to approve or deny the request. 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 sketch plan the Anoka Union Herald, the City's official newspaper for the March 7, 2019 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission met on March 7, 2019 to discuss the sketch plan. Observations/Alternatives: Summary/Zoning The Subject Property is located in the E-1 Employment, with a small portion in the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District (Single Family Detached Homes). The site is currently two separate parcels. The developer is proposing to rezone the property to R-2 Residential District (Detached Villas) and is proposing 50 foot wide lots with detached single family homes. The homes would be served by City utilities. Lot 1, Block 4 does not meet the minimum depth requirement for lots, which require 100 feet of depth for at least 60 feet. This lot will need to be removed. Previous Proposal The City saw a similar proposal in the past, which was halted due to the cost of removing the construction debris onsite. The applicant is proposing to remove all the debris with the construction of this project. A debris removal plan will be required with Preliminary Plat submittal. It is assumed that there are no hazardous materials. However, there is approximately an acre of disturbance as deep as 14 feet. The site was utilized as an unapproved landfill for construction materials. This material must be mitigated as part of the project. Roads/Access
