safety concerns about adding thirteen(13) driveways directly on to 181st Avenue. <br /> Alternatives <br /> Alternative 1: Motion to adopt Resolution#25-003 approving the Preliminary Plat for Emerald Estates, contingent <br /> upon compliance with Staffs review comments. All thirteen(13) lots meet the bulk standards for the Rural <br /> Residential District. As proposed,there will not be any direct impacts on wetlands and floodplain areas, and tree <br /> loss should also be fairly minimal(since each lot will be custom designed and built). The Applicant has provided <br /> a reasonable option(driveway turn-arounds)to address the safety concerns raised by ACHD. Furthermore, if a <br /> road of any sort were required, it would result in greater impacts on existing natural resources, including <br /> additional tree loss and likely wetland impacts as well. Staff supports this alternative. <br /> Alternative 2: Motion to adopt Resolution#25-003 approving the Preliminary Plat for Emerald Estates,with <br /> modifications identified and specified by City Council. <br /> Alternative 3: Do not approve the Preliminary Plat for Emerald Estates based on specific findings. The lots meet <br /> the bulk standards for the zoning district and this configuration appears to have the least impact on natural <br /> resources on the Subject Property. Staff does not support this alternative. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this application. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> The Planning Commission recommended City Council approve the Preliminary Plat(4-1 vote). <br /> Outcome/Action: <br /> Motion to adopt Resolution#25-003 approving the Preliminary Plat for Emerald Estates. <br /> Attachments <br /> Site Location Map <br /> Preliminary Plat <br /> Tree Inventory <br /> Grading Plan <br /> Applicant Memorandum about Driveways <br /> Anoka County Highway Department Review Comments (both on Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat) <br /> Plan Sheets with Staff s Redlined Corrections <br /> DRAFT Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Dated December 19, 2024 <br /> Resolution#25-003: Pre Plat <br /> Form Review <br /> Inbox Reviewed By Date <br /> Brian Hagen Kathy Schmitz 01/09/2025 03:48 PM <br /> Form Started By:Chris Anderson Started On:01/03/2025 12:59 PM <br /> Final Approval Date:01/09/2025 <br />
