Item 7 - Donnelly Farm 3rd Addition
Mathew Weiland, representing Wyatt Pudel Pointer I, LLC, requested
Council approval of the Donnelly Farm 3rd Addition preliminary and final
plat and amendment to the Donnelly Farm Planned Unit Development.
The PUD amendment is being proposed to allow the replatting of 73
vacant townhome lots and portions of three common area lots into 41
single family residential lots based on the RS -4 zoning standards. The
project is located south of 194th Street and east of Dodd Boulevard. All
existing drainage and utility easements from the undeveloped townhome
lots are proposed to be vacated, and new easements will be established
that reflect the proposed single family lot design. Mr. Weiland stated all
lots within the preliminary and final plat meet the minimum requirements
of the City's zoning ordinance. The project will utilize most of the existing
infrastructure. He further stated that these single family lots will not be
covered by the existing homeowners association for the townhome units.
Associate Planner Allyn Kuennen explained that in 2008 the City
completed an update of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. During this
process, the City received a request to consider design standards for
smaller single family lots. City staff met with several residential developers

to receive feedback regarding design standards for smaller single family
lots. The City ultimately adopted a zoning ordinance amendment that
included the new RS -4 single family lot design standards, providing for
smaller single family lot sizes and reduced front and side yard setbacks.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously
recommended approval of the Donnelly Farm 3rd Addition preliminary
and final plat, PUD amendment and easement vacation.
In response to Council Member Little's question, Mr. Weiland explained
that due to foreclosures and the existing housing market, the demand has
shifted from townhomes to single family homes, as they have become
more affordable.
Council Member Swecker asked about the architectural design standards
for the single family homes. Mr. Weiland stated they plan to continue the
design standards that were adopted for the existing single family area of
the Donnelly Farm development.
Council Member LaBeau asked if the existing homeowners association
supports the project. Mr. Kuennen stated the Donnelly Farms
Homeowners' Association has submitted a letter of support for the project.
Council Member LaBeau asked about the cash fee of $1,000 for each
abandoned water service. Mr. Mielke explained that most of the single
family lots will utilize existing water services previously installed for the
townhome units with the Donnelly Farm Addition. The City and developer
agreed to a fee of $1,000 to be paid by the developer for each existing
water service that will need to be permanently abandoned. That fee was
deemed reasonable to cover future maintenance and repair costs that
may be incurred by the City.
11.28 Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Rieb to approve the
following:
a. Resolution No. 1 1 -40 approving the preliminary and final plat of
Donnelly Farm 3rd Addition, including Addendum "C" to
Development Contract and Planned Unit Development Agreement
b. Resolution No. 1 1 -41 vacating public drainage and utility easements
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous.

Item 8 - Stone Borough 4th Addition
Warren Isrealson, representing KJ Walk, Inc., requested Council approval
of Stone Borough 4th Addition, which involves the replatting of vacant
townhome lots to single family residential lots under the RS -4 standards.
He stated that representatives of the existing homeowners association
have indicated support for the project.
Mr. Kuennen explained that Stone Borough 4th Addition is centrally
located within the Stone Borough development on the east side of Dodd
Boulevard, north of 215th Street. The development meets the minimum
requirements of the zoning and subdivision ordinances. All existing
drainage and utility easements within the area to be replatted are
proposed to be vacated, and new easements will be established that
reflect the single family lot design. The preliminary plat includes 44 single
family lots and the final plat includes 28 single family lots as
recommended by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the
preliminary and final plat and easement vacation.
11.29 Motion was made by Rieb, seconded by LaBeau to approve the
following:
a. Resolution No. 1 1 -42 approving the preliminary and final pat of
Stone Borough 4th Addition
