CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />05/12/2026 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Promote economic growth and development. <br />5. 7. <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #26-076 Approving the Site Plan and Development Agreement for Serenity at Rivers Edge <br />(Project No. 26-101); Case of Rivers Edge Development LLC <br />Purpose/Background: <br />On March 10, 2026, the City Council approved the Final Plat for Serenity at Rivers Edge, a single family <br />residential subdivision located on the south side of Riverdale Drive, between Dolomite Street and Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard (the "Subject Property"). However, the Subject Property is located within the Mississippi River <br />Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA), which requires approval of a Site Plan (in addition to the Final Plat). On April <br />14, 2026, the City Council approved a variance allowing Rivers Edge Development LLC (the "Applicant") to <br />utilize an alternative methodology for completing the tree inventory and preservation plan. The Applicant has <br />now submitted the tree inventory data, which is a required component of a Site Plan. Thus, the City Council can <br />now take action on the Site Plan and the Development Agreement for Serenity at Rivers Edge. Approval of the <br />Site Plan and Development Agreement are the final actions necessary for this project. <br />Notification: <br />Notification is not required. <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />Since the Subject Property is located within the MRCCA, and because there are Significant Existing Vegetative <br />Stands on the Subject Property, a Vegetation Permit Application will need to be submitted with each Building <br />Permit Application. The Vegetation Permit Application will need to identify specifically which trees will be <br />removed to accommodate development. That information will be crossed referenced against the tree inventory <br />data to verify that no more than 60% of the significant tree diameter inches are removed (or, if removals do exceed <br />60%, reforestation is included). <br />Funding Source: <br />The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this project. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approving the Site Plan and Development Agreement. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #26-076 approving the Site Plan and Development Agreement for Serenity at Rivers <br />Edge. <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Site Plan <br />Development Agreement <br />Resolution #26-076: Site Plan and Development Agreement <br />
