Spring Lake Dark, MN 55432 Re: Preliminary Plat- Brookfield Addition [)car Mr. Peterson: Wc arc lin receipt of your preliminary plat for Brookfield Addition consisting of six (6) sheets prepared by Passe Engineering, Inc. dated May 2, 2005, revised August 26, 2005. We offer the t~>l[owing comments: General: Thc submitted major subdivision proposes to plat approximately 156 acres (including poi-tiaras ol~ Westby 1 st Addition and Now and Then Estates) to create a total of 241 urban single- f'am ily lots. The subject property is generally located west of Nowthen Blvd and south of Trott [kook. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Residential. On March 22, 2005, the City Council approved your request I-'or Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the property's land use designation fi-om Rural Developing to Low-Density Residential. The Metropolitan Council has also approved the request. The portion of the property adjacent to Trott Brook is also subject to Scenic River and Shorcland Management requirements. Lot Sizes: The current minimum lot size in the R>I MUSA is 10,800 square feet with a minimum width of 80 feet (comer lots: 90 feet), as measured at the building setback tine. The re-,vised preliminary plat complies with these requirements. Lots 5 and 12, Block 3, Lot 3, Block 1, and Lot 3, Block 2 meet lot size and width standards, but may have some difficulties accommodating homes with a large foundation size. The ~ading plan indicates that a standard house pad will fit on these lots. Care should be taken to ensure that access to these lots does not conflict with traffic entering and exiting the development at this corn~gr.
