Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to consider a preliminary plat request that would replat an existing 3 lot parcel into 2 buildable lots and one outlot for access. 2. 15.99 Deadline. The application was deemed complete on July 19, 2017 and a decision must be made by November 16, 2017. 3. Background/ Summary. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval of a proposed two -lot subdivision of a vacant property located at the northerly end of Ivy Place on Casco Point. The property consists of 3 existing tax parcels, which the applicants propose to reconfigure to result in two residential building lots, each exceeding the 1/2 -acre minimum lot size of the LR - 1 C district. The lots meet requirements to size, area, provide adequate building areas within setbacks including average lake shore and lake yard on three sides. A conservation design study has been completed. Ancillary actions are necessary to support this proposed development including, vacating a utility easement that does not correspond with the actual location of the pipe, variance from the wetland setback in the SW corner of the site to allow the extension of the access drive, issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to allow filling to elevate the houses above the flood elevation, vacation of a driveway easement that terminates in a cul de sac that will not be utilized and clouds the title. It is expected that these actions and Fire, Engineering, and Watershed District comments be addressed prior to Final Plat approval. The attached staff report to the Planning Commission (Exhibit D) provides greater detail on the proposal. 4. Planning Commission vote and comment. The Planning Commission reviewed the application on August 21, 2017. The Commission recommended approval 7-0. The Commission requested additional information regarding the amount of fill, (they anticipated 1,300 cy of fill being brought to the site) and wanted to verify the condition of Ivy Place prior to construction. 5. Public Comment. At the public hearing, there was substantial comment received, generally in opposition to the development due to potential negative impacts of the development. Concerns include additional stormwater entering the lake from Ivy Place and impacting adjacent parcels, the location of the driveway being too close to the lake, lack of turn around for the traffic within the existing right of way for Ivy Place, safety of traffic on Ivy Place due to its narrow width, and wetland impacts. Written public comment has been received regarding the view easement, attached is attached as Exhibit E. Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: J. Barnhart Approved By: _Sb
