PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Sketch Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Variance to Minimum Lot Size for Cedar Acres (Project #22-136); Case of Tom Dehn Public Hearing Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. Presentation City Planner McCann presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the variance to minimum lot size as well as the Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat for Cedar Acres. Chairperson Bauer asked and received confirmation that the drainage would be proposed south of the cul-de-sac and the cul-de-sac would then line up. He asked if the proposed cul-de-sac would be at the same elevation as the partial cul-de-sac that exists. City Planner McCann stated that it would appear to be about the same elevation. Chairperson Bauer referenced the property to the north and asked if that is vacant. City Planner McCann replied that there is a home on that property. Planning Manager Larson provided additional details on the elevations. Commissioner VanScoy referenced the low area designated as stormwater and asked if that is wetland. City Planner McCann replied that there is not verification but believed it to just be open land and not wetland. Citizen Input Tom Dehn, applicant, commented that the water from the cul-de-sac would go south to the retention area. He noted that they previously considered connecting to the Lennar development which would have included a request to include the property in the MUSA but instead have submitted a request for rural subdivision. He commented that they have verified that there are no wetlands on the site. Planning Commission/ October 27, 2022 Page 2 of 10
