r <br />TO:Mayor and Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM:Michael P. Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator <br />DATE:July 7, 1999 <br />SUBJECT: Highway 12 Impacts: Additional Housing Mitigation Site for Consideration <br />Charles & Sue Van Eeckhout reside at 120 Brown Road South. The property is zoned RR-IB, Single <br />Family Rural Residential, 2 acre. The 20-acre site contains about 14 acres dry buildable. Mr. Van <br />Eeckhout was before the Planning Commission in May with a sketch plan proposal for 9 sewered <br />building sites ranging in size from 1.0 acre to 1.8 acre. <br />Plamiing Commission generally indicated this may be a site suited for clustering at the 2-acre <br />density, and that sewer might be appropriate. Planning Commission had no strong feelings regarding <br />a rezoning of the site, preferring to leave this to the Council. <br />While this sketch plan will be presented to Council for discussion at a future meeting, it has occurred <br />to staff that this site may be suited for mitigating some of the Long Lake housing to be eliminated <br />by the Highway 12 bypass, because: <br />the site abuts the City of Long Lake <br />the site abuts Long Lake sewer lines <br />the site abuts a Long Lake public street which might be extended to serve this <br />property <br />the site is somewhat remote from existing adjacent 2-acre developments, and is <br />sandwiched between Fox Ridge (1-acre lots) and a number of 1/3 acre to 1 acre <br />residential developments in Long Lake <br />the property owner wishes to develop the site <br />Council is asked to provide staff direction as to whether this site should be considered for a <br />residential development at a higher density than 1 unit per 2 acres.
