Nicholas Estates Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of KRB Development IV, LLC for the following: A. Preliminary plat of 44 single family residential lots to be known as Nicholas Estates; B. Zoning Map amendments for the following: 1. Rezone a portion of the property from RS-2, Single Family Residential District to RS-3, Single Family Residential District: 2. Rezone a portion of the property from RS-3, Single Family Residential District to RS-4, Single Family Residential District; C. Variance to allow cul-de-sac street length in excess of 600 feet. Bill Ryan, with KRB Development IV, LLC, and Rick Osberg, with James R. Hill, Inc., were in attendance at tonight’s meeting. . Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson stated that the preliminary plat application and plans for Nicholas Estates that have been submitted by KRB Development IV, LLC consists of 44 single family residential lots and one outlot located north of 183 rd Street and west of Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9). Along with the preliminary plat, the developer has submitted an application for a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the northerly portion of the property from RS-2 to RS-3 and the southerly portion of the property from RS-3 to RS-4, as well as a variance application to allow cul-de-sac length to exceed 600 feet. Ms. Jenson identified on the preliminary plat the two areas the developer is requesting to be rezoned. Ms. Jenson reviewed the Nicholas Estates preliminary plat, including the lot requirements for the RS-3 and RS-4 districts, setbacks, buffer yard requirements, sidewalks/trails, tree preservation, wetlands and Shoreland Overlay District. She reviewed the proposed streets with the Nicholas Estates preliminary plat and explained the justification of the reduced right-of-way width for 179th Street and Icon Court as allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance for environmentally sensitive areas. The developer has requested a variance to the maximum length for both 179 th Street and Icon Court as both exceed the 600 foot maximum length established by the Zoning Ordinance. The length of both cul-de-sacs is impacted by adjacent wetlands, tributaries, and development. Ms. Jenson stated that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee reviewed the Nicholas Estates preliminary plat at their March 16, 2016 meeting. Their draft minutes and recommendation for approval were distributed at tonight’s meeting. A neighborhood meeting was held on March 1, 2016. Three neighbors attended the open house with questions primarily focused on the style and type of homes proposed to be built, how construction traffic would access the site and whether Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, March 17, 2016 there would be any impacts to the wetland or tributary. None of the neighbors attending the meeting expressed opposition to the proposed development. Ms. Jenson stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Nicholas Estates preliminary plat, Zoning Map amendment, and variance subject to the 10 stipulations listed in the March 9, 2016 planning report. Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment. There were no comments from the audience. Motion was made by Maguire, seconded by Drotning to close the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes – unanimous Chair Swenson asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion centered on connectivity between the lots in Nicholas Estates located on either side of the wetland complex. Staff stated that a street connection (Idawood Path) between the two areas is not proposed with this development in order to minimize impacts to the wetland complex that bisects the subject property. The Planning Commission asked staff to consider the possibility of a trail connection between 179th Street and Icon Court following the proposed sewer and water lines, which will cross the wetland at its narrowest point between Lots 4 and 5, Block 3 and Lots 5 and 6, Block 4. Staff stated they will discuss this possibility, along with the cost of a trail connection, prior to City Council consideration of the final plat. The Planning Commission requested, if the trail is proposed to be constructed at a future date and not with the Nicholas Estates plat, that “future trail” signs be placed in the side yards of the impacted lots. The Planning Commission also expressed their desire that the school district construct a trail within the Eastview Elementary School property to connect the trail to be constructed within Outlot A, Nicholas Estates and the trail connection to the school from Impala Path in the Andersons Century Farm neighborhood. The 600 foot maximum cul-de-sac street length requirement and the reduced street width allowed for cul-de-sac streets in environmental sensitive areas were discussed. Mr. Morey pointed out that the street width for cul-de-sacs in environmental sensitive areas is reduced from 32 feet to 28 feet but the turnaround radius remains the same to accommodate emergency service vehicles. Motion was made by Maguire, seconded by Drotning to recommend to City Council approval of the Nicholas Estates preliminary plat, Zoning Map amendments for the following: Rezone a portion of the property from RS-2, Single Family Residential District to RS-3, Single Family Residential District and rezone a portion of the property from RS-3, Single Family Residential District to RS-4, Single Family Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, March 17, 2016 Residential District, and variance to allow cul-de-sac street length in excess of 600 feet, subject to the following stipulations and adoption of the Findings of Fact dated March 17, 2016: 1. The recommendations listed in the March 9, 2016 engineering report. 2. The recommendation of the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee. 3. The developer shall construct five-foot wide concrete sidewalks along one side of 179th Street, Idawood Path, and Icon Court and an eight foot wide bituminous trail within Outlot A. 4. The driveway access for Lot 14, Block 4 and Lot 9, Block 5 must be off of Icon Court. 5. Outlot A shall be deeded to the City with the final plat. 6.

Once these designs are collected, a neighborhood meeting will be conducted for resident feedback on the playground plans. Staff is still working on the design and bid package for the dog park at Ritter Farm Park, and with a contractor to determine where the well will be located in the park. The exact timeline has not yet been finalized however installation of the dog park is still expected to take place this year. Bid requests went out for the Oak Shores basketball and tennis court replacement with the goal to complete this work by mid-June. The Easter Egg Scramble events held on Saturday, March 12 were a success; there were two sessions due to its popularity this year with over 137 people attending the event.
