CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 10/08/2019 Submitted For: Tim Gladhill, Community Development By: Elliot Mohler, Community Development 5. 5. Information Title Adopt Resolution #19-243 Approving Final Plat and Development Agreement for Ellis Addition Purpose/Background: The City has received an application from Michael Ellis (the "Applicant") for a Minor Plat for the purpose of subdividing the parcel generally known as 7001 166th Ave NW (the "Subject Property"). The Applicant has proposed subdividing the Subject Property into three (3) separate lots. Lot 3 will contain the existing dwelling, while Lots 1 and 2 will remain vacant until purchased. The application meets all the requirements for a subdivision in the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. Notification: Notifications of this proposal were sent via Standard US Mail to Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property, as reflected by Anoka County Property Records. Final plats do not require a public hearing. Observations/Alternatives: General: The Applicant is proposing to split the current lot at 7001 166th Ave NW (the "Subject Property") into three (3) separate lots. Proposed Lot 3 would contain the existing dwelling and accessory buildings while Lot 1 and Lot 2 would be vacant until sold. The proposed subdivision would be east of Brookfield First Addition and Brookfield Second Addition Subdivision and north of the Valvista Estates Subdivision. The Subject Property is currently platted as part of the Westby First Addition Subdivision. Zoning: The Subject Property is currently zoned as R-1 Residential (MUSA). The surrounding properties are all zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA). The intent of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District is to accommodate single-family dwelling units on suitable land in the 2040 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). All newly created lots in this district must connect to city sewer and water. The existing dwelling unit is not currently connected to city sewer and water and can continue to utilize a well and septic system as long as they are functional. Floodplains: There are no floodplains identified on the Subject Property. Wetlands: There are no wetlands identified on the Subject Property. Streets and Access: It should be noted that 166th Ave NW is an MSA road and that limited entrances onto these roads is often required. Because of this, the minimum density requirement for the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District will not be enforced. The Subject Property currently gains access off Jaspar St NW. The existing dwelling on proposed Lot 3 will continue to gain access off Jaspar St NW. Lot 1 and Lot 2 will gain access off 166th Ave NW. Each lot will be limited to one driveway connection that may be no greater than thirty feet (30') at the street. Utilities and Municipal Services: Although no new dwelling units are proposed in these plans, any and all future dwelling units will need to connect to city sewer and water services. This does not include the existing dwelling that is located on proposed Lot 3 (as long as a functioning septic system and well are in place). Tree Preservation and Landscaping: There are few trees on the Subject Property. Most of the existing trees on the Subject Property are located on proposed Lot 3, with a limited number of existing trees on proposed Lot 1 and
