CASE #: ~ <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF MARIGOLD POND; <br />CASE OF OAKWOOD LAND DEVELOPMENT <br /> By: Amy Geisler, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Oakwood Land Development has applied for sketch plan review to develop 102 urban single <br />fitmily residential lots on the property generally located on Highway 47 at .160th Lane NW. The <br />t~)llowing items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Sketch plan <br />c) City Staff review letter dated April 15, 2005 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />No public hearing is required at the sketch plan stage of a plat. However, the City Council has <br />adopted a policy requiring notification of a proposed subdivision be sent out to residents within <br />350 feet of the subject property during sketch plan submittal. Staff attempted to notify property <br />owners within 700 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Oakwood Land Development is proposing to create 102 urban single-family lots on 58 acres on <br />Highway 47 at 160th Lane NW. The property is currently located in the R-1 Rural Developing <br />district, with a minimum density of 1 lot per 2.5 acres. Development of the property with <br />municipal sewer and water will require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which will be <br />considered at the preliminary plat stage. If the property is approved for development with urban <br />services, the net density allowed under R-1 is three units per acre. The-sketch plan reflects a <br />gross density of 1.75 units per acre. All of the proposed lots appear to meet urban single-family <br />standards for lot width, size, and frontage on a public road; net density and lot standards will be <br />verified as a 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). <br /> <br />Current City Code requires density transitioning between the project area and adjacent rural size <br />lots. A 'Free Preservation Plan will be required at the time of preliminary plat review and <br />approwtl. <br /> <br />47 <br /> <br /> <br />
