Tollefson Development previously submitted a preliminary plat for Donnelly Farm consisting of 131 single-family lots and 135 attached townhome units on 122.70 acres located east of Dodd Boulevard, west of Holyoke Avenue and north of Heritage Drive. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee reviewed this plat at their August 4 meeting and the Planning Commission discussed the plat at their August 5 meeting. Both committees expressed opposition to the 75-foot width lots. The developer has worked with staff to revise the preliminary plat to address criteria set by the Planning Commission. Assistant City Engineer Jay Rubash outlined the revisions to the plat. This plat is zoned PUD (Planned Unit th Development). Revisions to the plat include shifting 195 Street to the north resulting in a reduction of park land dedication by .71 of an acre on the north side and increased by .07 of an acre on the south side. The resulting park land dedication is 4.13 acres and the cash contribution will be $343,661. The number of single-family homes has been reduced by three lots from 131 to 128 thereby decreasing the number of 75-foot lots. Lot widths for 6 of 20 single-family corner lots have been revised to a minimum width of 100 feet. Fourteen Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Page 2 September 8, 2004 corner lots remain with 75-foot widths. Member Goodwin expressed concern regarding the list of erosion control issues that have not been met. Mac Cafferty stated the developer would address those items after the preliminary plat has been approved. Member Volimas commented he would prefer 85-foot lots vs. 75-foot lots. 04.38 Motion by Goodwin and seconded by Volimas to recommend City Council consider approval of Donnelly Farm revised preliminary plat and CUP subject to the following statement: Given problems of more impervious surface, greater population density, due to greater number of lots, we recommend approval with the stipulation that the Planning Commission and staff recommend to eliminate the smaller lots be adhered to. In addition, the developer is required to follow the natural resources requirement detailed in the Planning and Engineering reports associated with tree preservation, grading, drainage and erosion control and further recommendations by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, if applicable.
