Zoning File #1885 <br />November 12, 1993 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Please review Exhibit B, applicant ’s addendum provides supportive findings for fezoning <br />as follows: <br />1 There is adequate sewer capacity for 58 units as overall sewer needs for the area <br />were projected at 300-450. The recommended alternative plan showed the 1-0 acre <br />area at a maximum development density of two acres with a potential 60 units Half <br />of the 120 acres is being developed into ballfields and an elementary school. T e <br />proposed 58 units could easily be acconunodated. <br />The PUD has been designed to minimize impact on adjacent rural properties to east <br />and north by providing larger, deeper lots with more restrictive setbacks on the no^ <br />side and a natural buffer of existing weUands and open space along the east side. <br />Applicant also notes that the existing wetlands along the south side will provide a <br />buffer from the multiple residential units planned for property to south. <br />3. The PUD was specifically created for the Highway 12 corridor to encourage the best <br />development by allowing clustering and designation of open space areas to buffer an <br />protect sensitive areas. <br />4 The PUD provides efficiency as far as consolidating lots along the interior road <br />system and minimizing earthwork needed for correcting high water table problems. <br />5. The high water table and random location of wetlands require flexibility in design and <br />lot layout. <br />6 The application as proposed would satisfy the special requirements <br />the Highway 12 corridor snidy area as set forth m Section 10.52 and addressed on <br />Pages 5-12 of applicant’s addendum. <br />Review Exhibit O. Applicant ’s addendum has noted that a major retention pond at <br />approximaKWb 7 acms will £ installed as a result of the Highway 12 safety ™pravem»ts <br />I H n*fh#» next few vears The City Engineer advises that the safety plans have been <br />“d aid t retention iond area has been reduced to 4 acres. The Pond to ^n designed <br />to treat only the runoff from Highway 12 and not the developed land areas to north. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1 Will the PUD as proposed be compatible with adjacent existing and propose u«s <br />of surritmding properties .... wUl it meet the intent of Comp Plan Amendment No. 2? <br />2. WUl the special design features of the PUD layout assure fumre compatibility?
