It is understood that as part of the Shade~ree Cottages plat, located immediately to the west of Rum River Meadows, that the new Potassimn St. would be constructed, l~t is also been verbally agreed that the City, would pay for 50% of the cost of securing the necessary right-of-way and construction of Potassium St. that will serve both Shadetree Cottages and Rum River Estates. The developers of d~ese two snbdivisions will pay for the remaining 50% of these costs. As the final plans for Shadetree Cottages and Potassium St. have not been approved as of yet, any approval that the Council would want to consider for Rum River Meadows would need to be contingent on the construction of Potassium St. The final plat and site plan show a total of 23 detached townhome in the same number and locations as indicated on the preliminary plat. Overall the submitted final plat is consistcnt with the approved preI[minm¥ plat. Staff is continuing to review the street, utility, grading, and drainage plan and may have future comments as indicated in the Staff Review letter. As indicated in the Stal'f Review Ietter, the applicant must receive ~pproval from the Lower Rum River WMO regarding the wetland sequencing and mitigatio~ plan. As part of the preliminary, plat discussion, the City Conncil passed a motion for Staff to begin negotiation with property owners to the north for the City to receive a "right of first refusal" on the f~.~ture sale of their land in order for the City to potentially create a second ingress/e~'ess to ?,urn River Meadows. Stai-Thas identified several parcels located in the River Pines subdivision that could serve as a future second access to and from the Rum River Meadows subdivision and will soon be contacting the identified property owners. The City Council adopted findings of fact suppod-ing the rezoning of the parcel to Plmmed U~St Development. The Rum River Meadows PUD will allow for the 3.3 net density as sl~own on the plat as well the following deviations ii'om City Code: 1) A lesser structure setback between units (15 feet instead of the required 20 feet), and 2) the use of detached townhome units as part of the development. Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the final plat subject to the following: 1) Compliance xvith City Staff Review Letter dated May 19, 2006 2) The City and the Developer entering into a Developmeut Agreement 3) Approval of the Shadetree Creek final plat. 4) Construction of Potassimn St. as pm't of the Shadetree Creek plat.
