Review File: <br />Trott Brook North <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />9. Please provide a contact to the easement holder of the large easement bisecting the project site to <br />begin discussions about allowed uses within the easement. <br />10. As part of Preliminary Plat, please provide an anticipated Phasing Plan — this is just an idea of a <br />preliminary phasing plan that will likely adjust as time goes on and is not legally binding at this <br />time <br />11. The City and Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (WMO) requires a full <br />wetland delineation of any wetlands onsite and a 16.5 foot wetback encumbered by easement <br />from any wetland <br />12. Please clarify if the neighborhood will include a Home Owners Association (HOA) <br />13. There is an additional development proposal on the property to the south from the Excelsior <br />Group that is proposing a mix of 55, 65, and 75 foot wide lots; Staff recommends that 80 foot <br />wide lots be incorporated into this proposal, specifically on the northern or western boundary <br />abutting existing lots <br />o Staff will be making a similar recommendation to the adjacent project as well <br />Rezoning <br />1. The Site is currently located in the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District, , which allows for detached <br />single-family dwellings on quarter-acre/80 foot wide lots. <br />2. The Applicant has proposed 55, 65 foot wide lots <br />a. 55 foot wide lots: requires rezoning to the R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District <br />b. 65 foot wide lots: requires rezoning to the R-1 Residential (Detached Villa) District <br />If the Planning Commission and City Council are supportive of the underlying proposal, Staff proposes a <br />Zoning Amendment to the above districts rather than a Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. For <br />those familiar with the PUD process, it is often seen as subjective and not as straight forward. While an <br />appropriate zoning tool, Staff believes it is an unnecessary level of complexity in this case. <br />Street and Access <br />The Applicant has proposed one access onto Nowthen Boulevard at 173rd Avenue NW and one access onto <br />175th Avenue NW. 175th Avenue also connects to Nowthen Boulevard. Anoka County will likely require <br />improvements to Nowthen Boulevard. <br />Landscape Plan <br />A landscape plan will be required with preliminary plat, which needs to include a tree survey of the site. <br />Grading <br />A grading plan will be required with preliminary plat. <br />Utilities <br />The site is zoned for City utilities, which are currently south of Trott Brook. Utilities will need to be brought <br />to the site. <br />Development Fees <br />The Applicant will be responsible for paying development fees at time of final plat. The Applicant will also <br />be responsible for signing a development agreement with the City prior to recording and releasing final <br />plat. <br />
