Planning Director Daryl Morey presented the Berres Ridge preliminary plat, which includes
366 single family lots and nine outlots on approximately 151 acres of land located north of
202nd Street (CSAH 50), west of Hamburg Avenue and east of Highview Avenue. Three areas
are proposed to be rezoned; 21 acres from RA, Rural/Agricultural to RS -3, Single Family
Residential, 44 acres from RS -3 to RS -4, Single Family Residential, and a small piece of
property from P/OS, Public and Open Space, to RS -3, Single Family Residential.
Mr. Morey explained that this plat will dedicate 80 feet of right of way for 200th Street to be
developed as an urban street with sidewalks on both sides. The project will include
intersection site visibility improvements at 202nd Street (CSAH 50) and Hamburg Avenue
with left and right turn lanes to improve safety. There will be no driveway access allowed on
Hamburg Avenue between 2001 Street and 202nd Street. Corner lots on Hamburg Avenue
north of 2001 Street and corner lots along 200th Street will be required to have driveway access
off of the adjacent local streets. The developer will be required to pave 200th Street between
Hamburg Avenue and Cedar Avenue before construction of the 2001 Street/Hamburg
Avenue intersection, which is proposed in Phase 3. The initial phase of the Berres Ridge
development will be constructed just to the east of St. John's Church.
Council Member Swecker asked about disbursement of traffic from this development and
whether the current transportation system in this area can handle the additional traffic. Mr.
Morey explained that traffic will be disbursed as much as possible. He pointed out that while
202nd Street is the higher classification roadway and is assumed to take the majority of the
trips from this development, improvements to Highview Avenue, Hamburg Avenue and 20011
Street will help to disburse traffic. He further stated that future development to the north will
also help with traffic disbursement.
Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Swecker to approve the following:
a. Preliminary plat of Berres Ridge
b. Findings of Fact and Resolution No. 15-04 approving an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to bring property into the MUSA and to re -guide property from
Public and Quasi -Public to Low Density Residential
c. Ordinance No. 932 rezoning property
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Davis, Little, Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau
