An extension to Apple Glen required crossing a questionable wetland basin. Long Lake is now being asked to comment on the issue of access. No additional requests for comments from Long Lake had been made until the feasibility of the wetland crossing had been determined. As stated previously, the TEP concluded they are comfortable with the wetland boundaries as presented by Svobota. The findings agree with the applicant's position that the proposed road does not enter the wetland boundaries. Mr. Van Eeckhout has stated he would be submitting drainage area information, storm sewer and ponding calculations for review prior to a formal preliminary plat approval. Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission last reviewed this application on August 21,2000 and recommended denial on a vote of 6 to 0. The denial vote was based on two primary concerns: 1.The four lots located on the north end of the proposed development should be reduced to three. By reducing the number of lots the average lot size would increase. The total number of lots would be 6, not 7. 2.The Planning Commission requested additional information regarding wetland determinations within the development. Council Action Requested: Council can provide direction to the applicant regarding the lot layout and number of lots. The development as proposed under a PRD would meet the one unit per two acre densit> that is required in the Comp Plan. The Council does have discretion regarding lot layout and density under a PRO. Final number of lots and lot layout are issues that should be resolved before the City of Long Lake could complete a full review of the impacts on the proposed use of Apple Glen Road.
