Homes Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that John Lamoureux of G.M. Homes has applied for preliminary plat approval of Sunfish Pond, a townhouse development. It was noted the subject property is located at the northeast comer of the intersection of County Roads #116 and #57. She reviewed the staff report indicating the property consists of 9.2 acres under Multiple Residential zoning (15 units per acre), and is eligible for 135 units; the developer is proposing 81 units. It was noted access is proposed ti'om 142nd Lane on the north and 141st Lane on the east. All streets within the plat boundaries will be developed as private roads but addresses will adhere to the City's grid system. The 11 lots meet minimum area requirements and the wetland in the northeast comer of the plat will be dedicated as a drainage and utility easement. The Park Commission recommends a cash payment to satisfy park dedication requirements and that the developer reserve space for a tot lot to be developed at the discretion of the homeowner's association and a trail connection to Casey's General Store or the C.R. #57 path (neither of which will be park dedication credit eligible). The Planning Commission and staffrecommend preliminary plat approval contingent upon the developer obtaining site plan approval. Councilmember Haas Steffen noted reference to dedication of a drainage and utility easement and requirement for the developer to establish "some landscaping" along the pond. Mr. Lamoureux advised he has prepared and submitted a landscape plan. Zoning Administrator Frolik pointed out the site plan for Case #2 includes additional detail on the landscaping. With regard to the transportation impact fee which will be used for the future signalization of C.R. #57 and #116, Zoning Administrator Frolik advised staff recommends the Council move the proposal and request a recommendation from the City Attomey with regard to the impact fee. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired regarding whether easement issues have been resolved. City Engineer Jankowski advised the drainage has an outlet and those issues have been resolved.
