notification of a public hearing, but due to the absence of plans, the request was required to go to the October meeting. Residents who attended the meeting were notified of the changed date for the public hearing, and Staff followed up with those individuals to answer any questions or concerns they may have had about the request. Public Comments: Public comments received regarding the request are attached to this case. Most of the correspondence received, and public comments at the public hearing with the Planning Commission, were regarding the drainage of surrounding properties. The approving resolution attached to this case includes City Staffs current revisions in ProjectDox which includes the necessity of a storm sewer pipe installation under the street, subject to construction and design approval by the City Engineer.. The Preliminary Plat plans will still need to be fully approved by City Staff before the Applicant can proceed with the Final Plat. Planning Commission-10/27/2022 The Planning Commission approved a Variance to the minimum lot size requirement of 2.5 acres for all three (3) lots in the proposed subdivision (5-1 vote). They also recommended approval of the Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat (5-1 vote) with the Variance tied to the plat, and compliance with Staff review comments. Staff review comments of the plans are attached to this case. Alternatives: Alternative 1: Approve the Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres. The Applicant's proposal meets most of the minimum standards of the Zoning Code, is consistent with other properties in the neighborhood, and is a reasonable request. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2: Approve the Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres with modifications, based on discussion. Alternative 3: Deny the Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres based on certain findings. The extension of the cul-de-sac would have benefits for surrounding property owners, and the City for snowplowing in the winter. The City's Engineering Staff has stated the project can be completed with appropriate stormwater and drainage plan modifications, at the request of the Planning Commission and the City Council. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. Recommendation: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adopting Resolution #22-233 Approving a Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres with the contingencies in the approving resolution. Action: Adopt Resolution #22-233 Approving a Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres Attachments Site Location Map Public Hearing Notice Mailing Map - 700 Feet Public Comments Received Narrative Preliminary Plat - Plan Set Draft Planning Commission Minutes - 10.27.2022 Approved Variance City Staff Review Report ACTION - Resolution #22-233 Preliminary Plat
