Date (Revised Plan) Application Received: 12/26/18 Date Application Considered as Complete01/14/19 120-Day Review Period Expires: 05/14/19 To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members Dustin Rief, City Administrator From: Melanie Curtis, Planner mcc Date: 22 January 2019 Subject: #LA18-000062, Stonewood LLC, 387 Orono Orchard Road S, REVISED Preliminary Plat Public Hearing Background/Update This application is a modification of the preliminary and final plat reviewed and approved in 2018 (same application number LA18-000062). The developer recently sold the northern lot and completed a boundary line adjustment between the two properties. The boundary line adjustment created a more substantial building area on the sold lot (385 Orono Orchard Rd S), and to facilitate the revised preliminary plat to create only one additional buildable lot from the subject property (387 Orono Orchard Road S). The previous plat was approved for 5 lots. Many of the previous review comments still apply, the proposal conforms to the RR-1B zoning district and continues to be less dense than the prescribed minimum density contemplated within the 2020-2040 comprehensive plan. The property is outside the MUSA boundary and septic system designs have been submitted for each lot. The existing driveway access point will continue to serve the separate northern lot (385 Orono Orchard Road S) which is not part of this subdivision. A new private driveway access is proposed to serve both of the properties as shown on the grading plan attached as Exhibit B. The preliminary plat drawing illustrates the proposed building pad areas for each new lot; the existing home on the property (shown on Parcel A) is proposed to remain at this time. The RR- 1B setbacks will be met; both lots are shown meeting or exceeding the minimum 200-foot lot width measured at the front setback. Relationship to Surrounding Development Properties in the immediate neighborhood consist of 4 to 21 acre lots; the City’s golf course is to the north of the property. The proposed subdivision is consistent with respect to the rural character of the surrounding neighborhood. Application Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of a revised preliminary plat. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval contingent upon meeting the MCWD and City Engineer’s recommendations and permitting requirements of the MCWD.
