ITEM 12 Dan Licht of Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. presented a proposal by US Homes Corporation for the preliminary plat of Prairie Lake, which consists of 77 single-family lots and 252. attached townhouse units. The developer is also requesting a comprehensive plan amendment to change. the land use • designation of a portion of the subject property from medium/high density residential to commercial; rezoning CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 19, 2002 PAGE 5 portions of the subject property to single-family residential, two-family residential, and office residential.; a variance to allow a cul-de-sac street-length greater than 600 feet; and. a planned. unit development conditional use permit to allow townhouses within the Lake Marion Shoreland Overlay District. Mr. Licht explained that the cul-de-sac length of Street C is justified due to environmental constraints and the subdivision designs of adjacent properties that preclude street extensions. He also explained the justification for the. proposed zoning and transition with adjacent property. The proposed twin homes, he stated, do not create conflict with the existing Bracketts Crossing Townhome PUD-CUP. However, an amendment of the Bracketts PUD-CUP will. be required prior to final plat approval of these lots to allow this portion of Outlot E of the Bracketts Townhomes plat to be converted from open space to twin home use. The number of proposed units within the Shoreland Overlay District is consistent with the density allowances provided in the Zoning Ordinance. The submitted plans calculate the open space at 63%, and the estimated impervious surface coverage. is 18%. The overall density within the Shoreland Overlay District is well within the ordinance allowance (137 units) and the applicable open space and impervious surface requirements. Mr. Licht explained that the developer is proposing to save 35% of the existing significant trees on the site, as well as 38% of the existing oak trees on the site.. The developer is dedicating approximately 10 acres in the center of the development for a neighborhood park. This satisfies the City's park dedication requirements. Trails are being. provided along Kingsway Path, and sidewalks will be constructed to match the existing sidewalks in Lake Villa Golf Estates. Sidewalks will also be provided along one side of the local through streets., which exceeds the City's requirement. The developer is also. proposing a private recreational facility, which requires a conditional use permit. This will be processed with the final plat application. Mr. Licht pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan amendment • and rezoning are subject to approval by the Metropolitan Council due. to the proposed change in land use from residential CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 19, 2002 PAGE 6 to commercial. The Planning .Commission held a public hearing on the preliminary plat of Prairie Lake, and there was no public comment at that time. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval subject to 12 stipulations listed in the July 25th planning report. Mayor Johnson asked about a proposed build-out phasing plan. Mr. Licht stated the project is .expected to be completed in four years, not including Outlots 0 and P. The city park project is included in Phase 1. Mayor Johnson asked if any additional sewer capacity is needed. Mr. Nelson stated one additional lift station is needed to serve this development, a future development to the west and, ultimately, the area south of 185th Street. The lift station would be constructed with a 15-year design. Mr. Erickson pointed out that the area residents have been. patiently waiting for this park, which is the last major • component of the City's 1994 park bond referendum. Mr. Morey explained "that the Planning Commission supported the 0-R (Office-Residential) zoning of the Mallory-property, located directly east of Outlot P, consistent with Outlot P. If he so chooses, Mr. Mallory .would :pursue the application for rezoning and the corresponding Comprehensive Plan amendment, and the City would support Mr. Mallory in that endeavor. Council Member Bellows asked what measures are being taken to protect the wetlands within this development. Mr. Brett Weiss of WSB & Associates identified the wetland areas and several sites that are designed for infiltration basins or storm water ponding. Silt fencing will be installed adjacent to the wetlands. prior to commencing construction, with dual fencing in some areas. Mr. Weiss stated there is an immense amount of storage on the site that can be used for storm water purposes. These areas will. hold the water back as much as possible, infiltrate and clean it before discharging into Lake Marion. • CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 19, 2002 PAGE 7 • 02.101 Motion was made-by Mulvihill, seconded by Rieb to approve the following fbr Prairie Lake: a.
