Per the Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan, approximately 37% of the Significant Tree DBH inches <br />will be removed. This percentage would likely be lower, but the Applicant did not inventory trees within the floodplain <br />areas because they were outside the limits of disturbance (meaning a greater number of trees are actually being preserved). <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Environmental Policy Board recommended approval of the natural resources aspects of this project. Additionally, the <br />Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance to lot depth (Lots 1 and 2, Block 2) and the Preliminary Plat, <br />contingent upon compliance with Staffs review comments. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #26-187 granting a variance to lot depth for Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, Rum River Retreat; <br />-and- <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #26-188 approving the Preliminary Plat of "Rum River Retreat." <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Project Narrative <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Plan Sheets with Changemarks <br />Public Comments Combined <br />Draft Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Dated August 27, 2026 <br />Draft City Council Meeting Minutes Dated September 8, 2026 <br />Resolution #26-187: Variance to Lot Depth for Lots 1 & 2, Block 2 <br />Resolution #26-188: Rum River Retreat Preliminary Plat <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Kathy Schmitz 10/08/2026 03:45 PM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 10/05/2026 10:31 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 10/08/2026 <br />
