60-Day Review Period: Not Applicable – Sketch Plan <br />To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members <br />Dustin Rief, City Administrator <br />From: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Development Director <br />Date: September 17, 2018 <br />Subject: #LA18-000065, Jim Koch o/b/o Christopher Morgart; 1003 Wildhurst Trail, <br />Sketch Plan <br />Background <br />The subject property consists of 4 parcels and unimproved right of way. The project proposes to <br />combine all parcels into one, to be subdivided with the vacated right of way. The first policy <br />question for the Planning Commission and the Council is to determine the appetite to vacate the <br />right of way necessary to support the development. <br />The total project area, including rights of way, is 14.8 acres. <br />Right of Way Vacation. The right of way forming the north portion of planned Lot 5, and the <br />eastern portion of lots 5, 6, and 7 may connect to Lake Minnetonka. The DNR will be included in <br />the formal review process. Generally, the City avoids vacating right of ways that serve as lake <br />access. Further review is necessary, but perhaps a portion of the right of way should be <br />retained to provide that access, and remaining sections vacated. <br />Application Summary: The applicant is requesting comments related to the review of a sketch <br />plan for a proposed eight lot single family subdivision at the north end of Wildhurst Trail. <br />Staff Recommendation: While no formal action is required, this memo will serve as a <br />foundation for discussion of issues to be addressed when a formal preliminary plat application <br />is submitted. <br />PID Comp Plan Zone Area <br />711723210002 Rural Residential RR-1B 10.09 <br />711723210007 <br />Low-Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR-1B <br />1.66 <br />711723210016 <br />Low-Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR-1B <br />1.26 <br />711723210006 <br />Low-Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR-1B <br />0.41 <br />LA18-000065 <br />Exhibit B
