Cedar Crossings Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of Mattamy Homes – Minnesota Division for the following, located west of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and north of 210th Street: A. Preliminary plat of 108 single family residential lots to be known as Cedar Crossings; B. Zoning Map amendment to rezone a portion of the property from RM-2, Medium Density Residential District to RST-2, Single and Two Family Residential District; C. Variance to allow cul-de-sac street length in excess of 600 feet. Daren Laberee from Mattamy Homes presented an overview of their request. Mr. Laberee clarified that Mattamy Homes will not be developing the site. Their goal is to get preliminary plat approval and then sell the property to another developer. He explained the reasoning behind the cul-de-sac street length variance request. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, May 5, 2016 Page 2 Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson stated that the Cedar Crossings preliminary plat consists of 108 single family residential lots and four outlots. Along with the preliminary plat, the developer has submitted an application for a Zoning Map amendment and a variance. Ms. Jenson explained that the developer is requesting to rezone a portion of the preliminary plat that is currently zoned RM-2 to RST-2, consistent with the west half of the preliminary plat. All 108 lots in the preliminary plat meet the RS-4 district lot area, width, and depth requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, which is the standard for single family homes in the RST-2 District. The proposed house pads indicate that all 108 lots in the Cedar Crossings preliminary plat meet the RS-4 district building setback requirements. There are four outlots in the Cedar Crossings preliminary plat. Outlots A, B, and C will be deeded to the City and Outlot D will be retained by the developer for future development. Outlot A will be used for a future neighborhood park and Outlots B and C contain a wetland complex that is proposed to be preserved. There is a ghost plat shown on the preliminary plat for possible townhomes on Outlot D and for single family lots on the parcels to the north of Cedar Crossings. Ms. Jenson reviewed the streets that will be included in the plat, which are described in detail in the April 28, 2016 planning and engineering reports. Ms. Jenson reviewed the 206th Street cul-de-sac variance request. Ms. Jenson stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Cedar Crossings preliminary plat, Zoning Map amendment and cul-de-sac length variance, subject to the eight stipulations listed in the April 28, 2016 planning report, and adoption of the Findings of Fact dated May 5, 2016.
