The site is served by existing sanitary sewer and water mains. New utility lines will be extended into the site to <br />serve the new buildings. An existing sanitary sewer and water main at the north end of the site will be relocated <br />(a public hearing will be scheduled for that at the time of final plat approval). <br />Plat <br />The site is currently one large platted parcel. A new plat will subdivide the property into lots for each of the <br />apartment buildings, the existing Church, and the townhomes. Parcel will be created for the park dedication. <br />Park Dedication <br />Park dedication will be satisfied through a combination of land and cash with credit given for certain <br />improvements. Soltice Park is located adjacent to the northwestern portion of the site. This is a neighborhood <br />park with three pedestrian connections to Cobalt, Erkium, and Fluorine Streets. There is no dedicated parking lot, <br />just on -street parking. As noted earlier, a four -space parking area will be constructed at the end of Cobalt Street. <br />A portion of land with a double pickleball court is proposed in the existing clearing at the northwest corner of the <br />site. The site plan shows a walkway between the courts and the internal private roadway. Another connection <br />will need to be made between the courts and the existing trail just north of the property line. The applicant will <br />receive credit for the construction of the parking area, courts, and the park walkways. Those costs will be <br />determined by the Development Agreement as a future step in the process. <br />The parcel shown for the Cobalt Street extension, Outlot B, included excess land extending to St. Francis <br />Boulevard. The land outside of the parking and turn -around areas is not needed. The plat should be revised to <br />show the boundary no more than ten feet from the back of curb to accommodate snow storage. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with the project are the responsibility of the applicant. The City will also collect <br />development fees and park dedication, with credit given for land and improvements. Those fees and charges will <br />be determined at the time of Development Agreement. <br />The applicant previously requested tax increment financing (TIF) for the project. That request was not supported <br />by the Council. <br />The property is currently tax exempt. The residential portions of the property will be placed back on the tax rolls. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the Haviland Fields development proposal. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Plat, and Site Plan Review <br />for Haviland Fields. <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Applicant's Narrative <br />Graphics and Renderings <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment Map <br />Zoning Amendment Map <br />Site Plans <br />Civil Plans <br />
