I had asked them 7 questions <br />as part of my staff report. Below are their comments. I understand you wish to create additional buildings sites for <br />your family. Based on the comments below, I recommend identifying locations for these lots further at the point, <br />and presenting a revised plan to the City Council. If you wish to receive Council’s comments based on the current <br />plan, the Council will discuss the project on December 9, 2019. It is expected that the Council will largely echo the <br />Commissions comments. The Planning Commission meeting is recorded and available for viewing on the city <br />website. <br /> <br />1. Does the Planning Commission support the lot layout as presented? The Planning Commission <br />was uncomfortable supporting the layout, recognizing that stormwater, proximity of the road, and <br />the buildability of the lots will influence alterations of the plan. Generally, the Commissioners felt <br />that lot 2 is not a buildable lot and should be incorporated into one lot, and shifter further into the <br />point. <br />2. Does the Commission generally support a variance from the lot area requirements? <br />Commissioners will not support creation of a plat that requires variances from the lot size <br />requirements. Lot area is defined: <br />a. “… In urban areas served by sanitary sewer, each lot must contain contiguous dry buildable <br />land equal to the minimum areas as prescribed in chapter 78 or half-acre, whichever is less <br />(exclusive of public and private rights-of-way, vehicular or pedestrian easements, surface <br />areas below the ordinary high water mark of any surface water wetlands or areas at or below <br />the floodplain elevation for a specific property), and have legal access to the building site <br />without encroachment of a wetland or floodplain area.” The lot areas will need to be <br />confirmed. <br />3. Does the Commission generally support a variance from the 75’ lake yard setback? <br />Commissioners will not support a variance from the 75 lake yard, requiring the lots and building <br />pads to shift further to the end of the point. <br />4. Does the Commission support a waiver from the cul de sac length standard? Commissioners will <br />support a waiver from this standard. <br />5. Does the Commission support a waiver for the new Baldur Park Road to be consistent with the <br />existing Baldur Park Road? Commissions will support a waiver from the standard, to be consistent <br />with the existing Baldur Park Road. <br />6. Does the Commission support a waiver from the conservation design requirement? <br />Commissioners do not support a waiver from this requirement. Conservation design requirements <br />can be found starting in section 82-300.
