Presentation <br /> <br />Mr. Trudgeon stated that North Fork, Inc. has applied for preliminary plat approval of St. <br />Andrews Addition. The plat consists of 44 lots ranging in size from 1 to 3.5 acres. All but 6 of <br />the lots meeting the 160 foot minimum lot width requirement for the Northfork P.U.D. at the 40 <br />foot building setback. Four of those 6 lots can be easily reconfigured to meet the width <br />requirement but Lots 11 and 12 of Block 2 are very narrow. A couple of options are to make <br />Lots 11 and 12 one lot or require a building setback at a point where the lots are 160 feet wide. <br />The proposed street names deviate from the grid pattern but have been aPproved in the past for <br />Northfork. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Dennis Peck - Director Of Development for Northfork - Stated that he has reviewed the Staff <br />Review Letter and agrees that most of the lots can be reconfigured to meet the 160 foot width <br />requirement at the standard building setback line. On Lots 11 and 12 will back up to the lake so <br />there is a limit as to how far back on the lots the homes can be sited. Mr. Peck stated that his <br />engineer is working to resolve Lots 11 and 12 in a way that the homes would not have to be set <br />back from the front property line any further than 80 feet. If the setback is limited to 100 feet, <br />they should be able to meet the 160-foot lot width requirement at that point. Mr. Peck stated that <br />he will supply erosion control data to the City Engineer. There are no living trees on the <br />property, but each lot will be required to do substantial plantings by the builder. Historically, <br />street names in this area of Northfork have been associated with British links. <br /> <br />Larry Koshak - 15700 St. Andrews Lane - Stated that there is a history in this development and <br />there was supposed to be a lake called North Fork Lake and it appears that North Fork Lake is no <br />longer a concept. It was supposed to be a combination of the existing manmade lake to the east <br />that was supposed to extend onto this plat. <br /> <br />Mr. Peck replied that there will be no continuation of the two lakes because of the golf course; <br />there is no way to connect the two lakes. In 1989, there was a concept plan for a 3rd lake but at <br />this point there has not been any discussion of one big lake for a long time. <br /> <br />Larry Koshak - Stated that he objects to calling the street St. Andrews Court as it could be <br />confusing. The grading plan calls for some exportation of materials and he doesn't want that <br />traffic on residential streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Peck stated that there is a grading plan that has been submitted to the City. At this point, Mr. <br />Peck reviewed an overhead of the entire Northfork P.U.D. and identified the subject area. The <br />original grading plan called for exporting 800,000 yards of material and that has been eliminated <br />because there is no market and North Fork is trying to reach finality of this phase. There is 30 <br />acres south of 153rd that the draft comprehensive plan targets for residential multiples. It is a low <br />area that could use some fill. The City has an interest in taking some of the fill material from St. <br />Andrews Addition for the extension of 153rd Avenue N.W. Additional fill may also be needed <br />elsewhere within the P.U.D. And, 60,000-100,000 yards may go to Elk River this winter.
