FILE #23-000067 <br />January 16, 2024 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />18 Building Permits Expected. <br />19 General regulations applicability Expected. <br />20 Lighting Lighting plans not yet developed. <br />21 Trails Sidewalks proposed. <br /> <br />Analysis: <br />The current zoning, RR-1B, is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan; the zoning must be <br />changed per state statute. Typically, in lieu of creating a brand-new zoning district, the city <br />rezones these types of developments to RPUD, a district established for this purpose. <br /> <br />Noted above, a variance may be necessary to meet 250’ setback requirements. Previous <br />approvals for this site were granted setback flexibility; (Eisinger Flats 16-3822). This setback and <br />external setbacks are the only identified flexibilities requested. <br /> <br />Overall, the development does not meet the density requirements. More units are required to <br />meet the City’s overall density standards. <br /> <br />City Engineer: The development is within the MUSA and the property will be served by City <br />Water and Sewer. <br /> <br />Water: The water will need to be extended down Wayzata Boulevard to access the site. <br /> <br />Sewer: The Metropolitan Council has a high-pressure sewer line that runs in front of the parcel. <br />The applicant should coordinate with the Met Council to determine feasibility of connecting <br />directly into the Met Council Line. If connecting to the Met Council line is not an option, the <br />development can be connected to City infrastructure. Further analysis will be needed to <br />determine the best way to extend the sewer service to the site down Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> <br />Fire Chief: The Fire Chief noted that two standard cul-de-sacs should be installed to support fire <br />services for this size of development. The hydrants will need to follow normal spacing and the <br />each of the buildings will require fire suppression systems. Additionally, a more detailed <br />analysis will be required for the street sizing and on-street parking as it pertains to emergency <br />services. <br /> <br />MCWD and DNR: The applicant noted they are working with the MCWD to reaffirm the wetland <br />boundary approvals and any wetland buffers that will be required. Additionally, a large area of <br />the property has a 1% annual chance of flooding (aka area below the 100-year flood elevation). <br />The 100-year floodplain is classified as Zone A which does not identify a specific elevation. The <br />developer will need to determine the 100-year floodplain elevation and verify all improvements <br />will not impact the area. The MCWD and/or DNR may be able to provide assistance to the <br />developer in this determination. Any impacts to the area at or below the 100-year floodplain <br />elevation may trigger additional approvals and/or mitigation. <br /> <br />MPCA: The developer has initiated a review process with the MPCA regarding the landfill <br />cleanup including the proposed grading work and capping of the contaminated materials on <br />site. <br /> <br />Hennepin County: Regarding the impacts to Wayzata Boulevard, Hennepin County has provided <br />238
