The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing at their December 19, 2024,meeting. One resident spoke on the project, and his comments focused primarily on concerns about potential degradation of the natural features (wetlands)resulting from development. By a 4-1 vote, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat, contingent upon compliance with Staffs review comments. The opposing vote was cast due to safety concerns about adding thirteen(13) driveways directly on to 181 st Avenue. The City Council reviewed and approved the Preliminary Plat at their January 14, 2025 meeting. Alternatives Alternative 1: Approve the Final Plat. The Final Plat mirrors the Preliminary Plat. All lots meet the bulk standards for the Rural Residential zoning district. The custom design/build approach should provide an opportunity to minimize impacts to natural resources on site. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2: Approve the Final Plat with modifications. This action would be based on City Council discussion. Alternative 3: Do not approve the Final Plat,based on certain findings. As noted,the Final Plat matches the Preliminary Plat and thus, Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this application. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the final plat of Emerald Estates. Outcome/Action: Motion to adopt Resolution#25-048 approving the Final Plat for Emerald Estates.
