CASE #: q <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF BROOKFIELD FIRST ADDITION; <br />CASE OF OAKWOOD LAND DEVELOPMENT <br /> By: Amy Geisler, AICP, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Oakwood Land Development has applied for final plat approval to develop 49 urban single family <br />residential lots as the first phase of Brookfield Addition. The property is generally located west of <br />Nowthen Blvd. and south of Trott Brook. The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Final plat <br />c) Grading plan <br />d) Landscapin~tree preservation plan <br />e) City Council meeting minutes dated September 13~ 2005 <br />f) City StaffReview Letter dated March 9, 2006 <br />g) Dra~ Development Agreement <br />h) Final plat resolution for approval <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />In accordance with state statute, notification was made of the preliminary plat public heating. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Oakwood Land Development is proposing to create 49 lots as the first phase of Brookfield Addition. <br />The final plat complies with the approved preliminary plat in terms of lot standards, as outlined in <br />the City StaffReview Letter. <br /> <br />The applicant has applied for and received a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the subject <br />property, making it eligible for connection to municipal sewer and water. An Environmental <br />Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed for the project during preliminary plat review. The <br />City Council determined at that stage that the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement <br />(EIS) is not required for this development. <br /> <br />While thc Wetland Buffer Ordinance was not in effect at the time of preliminary plat approval, Staff <br />is recommending that the developer sign the wetland boundary where applicable within the plat. <br />Some revisions are required to the landscaping plan per the City Staff Review Letter. Staff is <br />recommending some additional landscaping along Blocks 3 and 4 to satisSy density transition <br />requirements. During their review of the preliminary plat, the Planning Commission also requested <br />additional landscaping in these areas. <br /> <br />The proposal for the first phase of Brookfield includes the construction of Limonite Street, 167t~ <br />Terrace, Olivine Street, and 170th Trail, which complies with the approved preliminary plat, but <br />results in only one access for this phase until other phases come on line.
