Applicant seeks approval ot one acre density. The property consists of 58.6 acres after the exclusion of the dedicated road right-of-ways for Willow and County Road 6. The code will allow credit for the wetland areas as property will be sewered. The PUD format of development allows for an area credit of the access roads and open space areas along with the area of the residential lots. Based on the 58 lots, the City must be assured that there is a minimum of 29 acres of dr>' buildable area for development e.xcluding all designated or protected wetlands, retention ponds and drainageways. Review Exhibit F. the recommended alternative for development of this area was for two acre single family residential development to be served with municipal sewer and water. Municipal services are located on the north side of Highway 12 at the Willow Drive intersection. The developer would be responsible for extending municipal services north to the subdivision. The developer claims it is not economically feasible to provide municipal services to two acre lot development. The rezoning from two acre to one acre is a major issue for the City as the area was to serve as a buffer to the surrounding rural residential neighborhoods to the east and north from the more intensely developed properties to the south. The applicant has provided a strong argument in support of the rezoning. Lundgren Brothers has asked for the sketch plan and rezoning to be scheduled before the Council be ">re formal plans are tiled by applicant. Staff will review the rezoning issue first. If members object to rezoning and '•ecommend denial, they need not proceed any further with the remainder of memo which will deal with the issues ot the development plan. Rezoning The applicant lias applied for a PUD rezoning at a one unit per acre density. The subdivision is plannee in two phases; the first or southern half to be developed in 1994 and the second phase to be ceveloped in 1995-96. Section 10.53, Subdivision 5 (D), the PUD code, provides additional protection to the City it development has not been realized. Zoning may revert back to the original zoning district.
