CASE #: Public Hearing REQUEST FOR PRELIlVY.INARY PLAT AND PRELIlVIINARY STTE PLAN FOR PINE PRAIRIE: CASE OF TRI-COR DEVELOPMENT, LLC By: Breanne Dalnes, Associate Planner. Background: _ Tim Boe submitted a preliminary plat application to develop 9 attached townhome units on the _ property located to the west of Nowthen Boulevard and north of Iodine Street N.W. The following items are enclosed for~your information: a) Site location map b) Preliminary Plat c) Grading Plan d) Utility Plan e) Landscape-Plan fj Tree Preservation Plan g) Building Elevations h) Planning Commission minutes from June 1, 2006 (GAO's Prairie proposal) i) City Council minutes from June 26; 2006 (GAO's Prairie proposal). j) City Staffreview letter dated January 26, 2007 Notification: In accordance with Gity Code, property owners within 700. feet of the subject property were notified of the public hearing. Observations: The subject property is approximately 1.7 acres in size and is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential, which allows up to 7 units per acre. The plat is proposing 9 attached units, with Z additional outlots to be re-platted at a later date. The plat proposes access off of County Road 5 (Nowthen Boulevard). Helium Street is indicated as a public street, with a service road right-of--way of 45 feet instead of the typical 60 feet. The pavement width is proposed to be the standard 24 feet. Staff is comfortable .with the reduced right-of--way because the proposed Helium Street right-of--way is adjacent to existing right-of= way for the County Road. The .plan. for access is the same as originally proposed in the GAO's Prairie development. This plan poses the similar access constraints: However, Helium Street terminates in a temporary cul- de-sac that may be extended at a later date. It is anticipated that Anoka County will provide comments on this plat early next week.. If so, a verbal report will be available at the .meeting. 3
