Meeting Date: 06/25/2019 By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution #19-098 and Introduce Ordinance # 19-10 Approving Preliminary Plat and Actions Related to River Walk Village (Case of Village Bank) Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review the Preliminary Plat Application submitted by Village Bank (the "Applicant") for River Walk Village, at the property generally known as 6080 Highway 10 NW (the "Subject Property") for a 14 lot residential subdivision. The Applicant has proposed 50-foot wide, R-2 Detached Villa lots in the southeastern portion of the City, south of Highway 10 and north of the Mississippi River, just west of King's Island. The City Council has seen this proposal previously, though it has been modified based on staff, MnDOT, and DNR comment. The items being discussed tonight are: • Rezoning • Comprehensive Plan Amendment • Approval of Preliminary Plat Notification: Notifications of this proposal and this Public Hearing were sent via Standard US Mail to Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property, as reflected by Anoka County Property Records.

Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property, as listed in the Anoka County Property Records, were also notified of the workshop held on April25, 2019 for the proposed project. Notifications are not required and have not been provided for this City Council Case. As a courtesy to those neighbors that have participated in the review, Staff has reached out to remind them of this City Council Case. Observations/Alternatives: Roads/Access The Applicant is not proposing access onto Highway 10, though the City Police and Fire Departments had requested an emergency access from the north, potentially in the form of a trail with breakaway barriers. The MnDOT provided feedback that they would not support the access onto Highway 10 and the Applicant has removed it from the plan set. The cul-de-sac does meet size requirements but is longer than allowed by City Code and the Planning Commission passed a variance at their June 6, 2019 meeting to allow for the cul-de-sac onsite. Mississippi River Impacts The southwestern part of the Subject Property is in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA). This program is intended to protect the critical land along the Mississippi River, and has development standards for
