Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to provide staff and the applicant non-binding comment on a proposed 5 lot subdivision. 2. Minnesota Statutes 15.99 Deadline. Not Applicable to sketch plans. 3. Background/ Summary. The applicant is proposing to subdivide 1400 Bracketts Point into 5 buildable lots. The current improvement on the property includes the former Pillsbury House and several accessory structures. The house will remain, but the structures will be removed. The project has been proposed to meet all minimum development standards, including lot size, width, etc. The plan proposes to relocate Bracketts Point Road from the waters edge on the west side of the parcel, and run it along the interior of the site. The public Brackets Point Road will terminate in a cul de sac at the south end of the site, then a private drive will connect to the existing private Brackets Point Road to serve the three lots at the southern end of the point. The existing sanitary sewer easement within the road will remain, and be protected by an easement. The city engineer has offered preliminary support on the designs of the surface treatment for access. The attached (Exhibit C) staff report to the Planning Commission outlines the project in greater detail. 4. Planning Commission comment. Planning Commissioners questioned grading, housing sizes and styles, and questioned the issues related to relocating the road. The Commissioners did not identify immediate red flags. 5. Public Comment. To date, staff has received no comments for or against the proposal. The Planning Commission advised the applicant to reach out to other residents on the point, which they are in the process of doing. One of these conversations resulted in the modification of the cul de sac, depicted on Exhibit A. The original layout was depicted on Exhibit B. 6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council provide feedback on the project. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Provide non-binding feedback to developer and staff regarding proposed subdivision. Exhibits Exhibit A.
