The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Sketch plan <br />c) Planning Commission meeting minutes dated January 6, 2005 <br />d) City Staffreview letter dated December 30, 2004 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />No public heating is required at the sketch plan stage of a plat. However, the City Council <br />recently adop'ted a policy requiring notification of a proposed subdivision be sent out tO residents ' <br />within 350 feet of the subject property during sketch plan submittal. Staff attempted to notify <br />property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />'Oakwood Land Development is proposing to create 235 Urban single-family lots on 179 acres <br />west of Nowthen Blvd. and south of Trott Brook. The property is currently located in the R-I <br />Rural Developing district and the minimum lot size is 2.5 acres. Development of the property <br />with urban services depends on 'the outcome of the current .Comprehensive Plan amendment <br />being processed.to consider extension of urban, services to the north of the current Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area boundary. If the property is approved for development with urban services, <br />the net density allowed under R-1 is three units per acre. The sketch plan reflects a gross density <br />of 1.3 units per acre. All of the proposed lots appear to meet urban single-family standards for <br />lot width, size, and frontage on a public road; net density and lot standards will be verified as a <br />part of the preliminary plat review. <br /> <br />There. are substantial wetlands on the .proposed plat that Will need to be delineated and' <br />encumbered with drainage and utility easements on the preliminary and final plats. The grading <br />and drainage plan will have to be reviewed and approved by the Lower Rum River Water <br />Management Organization (LRRWMO). Trott Brook is a designated tributary of the Rum River, <br />and is subject to Scenic River and Shoreland Management requirements, specifically a 100-foot <br />setback for ali homes from the OHW of Trott Brook. Staffhas sent the sketch plan to the DNR. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br /> <br />
