We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The submitted major subdivision proposes to plat approximately 179 acres (including <br />portions of Westby ISt Addition!and NoW an&Then Estates) to create a total of 235 urban single- <br />family lots. The subject property is generally ~10cated west of Nowthen Blvd and south of Trott <br />Brook. ' : <br /> <br />Zoning: The property is zoned R-I R. esidentia~l! and is located in the Rural Developing Area. The <br />development of the property w!¢ municipa/:se~Wer and water is dependent upon the outcome of <br />the current Comprehensive PI ,~t amondrnont~ Under consideration for the extension of urban <br />services to the north. This revi'~w letter iwill egaluate the proposal based on R-1 urban' single- <br />family standards. The portion 6f the property: adjacent to Troll Brook is also subject to Scenic <br />River and Shoreland Managem~n, t requirdments2 <br /> <br />Lot Sizes: The current minimum lot size in ,~e R-i MUSA is 10,800 square feet.
