CASE #: • REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF BROOKFIELD TBIRD ADDITION; CASE OF OAKWOOD LAND DEVELOPMENT By: Amy Geisler, AICP, Associate Planner Background: Oakwood Land Development has applied for final plat approval to develop 45 urban single family residential lots as the third phase of Brookfield Addition. The property is generally located west of Nowthen Blvd. and south of Trott Brook. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Cover sheet c) Final plat d) Landscaping/tree preservation plan e) City Council meeting,minutes dated September 13, 2005 D City Staff Review Letter dated May 3, 2007 g) Draft Development Agreement h) Final plat resolution for approval Notification: • In accordance with state statute, notification was made of the preliminary plat public hearing. Observations: Oakv,7ood Land Development is proposing to create 45 lots as the third phase of Brookfield Addition. The final plat complies with the approved preliminary plat in terms of lot standards, as outlined in the City Staff Review Letter. Staff would note that the final plat shows 2 additional lots on the south side of 170 Trail, compared to the approved preliminary . plat. Given the large size of the plat (241 lots on 156 acres), and the applicant's effort to create space for a neighborhood playground, staff does not consider this a substantial deviation from the approved preliminary plat. The applicant received a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the subject property, making it eligible for connection to municipal sewer and water. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EANkD was completed for the project during preliminary plat review. The City Council detennined at that stage that the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required for this development. The proposal for the third phase of Brookfield includes the extension of 170 Trail and Marble Street. Construction of this phase will be coordinated with the construction of the 2" Addition, Which was approved in March 2006. Staff is recommending that Lot 6, Block 4 be included with a future phase of Brookfield rather than the 3 Addition, to avoid complications with grading and drainage on the site. • The landscaping, grading, and utilities plans are acceptable.
