VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 15. #04 -3016 HENRY LAZNIARZ OF WAYZATA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH — PRD SUBDIVISION — PRELIMINARY PLAT . Gaffron presented the proposed PRD Subdivision with 14 acres dry buildable and 6 acres in wetland with Long Lake Creek meandering through the property. He illustrated the subject property's site location, noting its proximity to Kallestad Acres and the 40' corridor owned by the Dunn's that provides access to the subject property as well as another 10' of easement on the edge of Lot 1 of Kallestad Acres. After reviewing several possible layouts in Sketch Plan review, the Planning Commission concluded that this site lends itself to clustering of lots as opposed to lots spread out over all the dry buildable areas. The PRD proposes a 7 -lot residential plat with an overall density of 2.0 acres, with some lots smaller than 1 acre, clustered around the cul -de -sac. The existing house is proposed to remain. Setbacks proposed would meet the Zoning Code 1 -acre setback requirements. Due to the Long Lake Creek course, Gaffron noted that the shoreland setbacks would apply, as well as wetlands. The OHWL affects only two proposed lots. The steep slopes are not determined to be bluff areas. Gaffron advised that revised grading plans were received last week; said documents were provided to the City Council. Referencing the May 21, 2004 Planning Commission recommendation for areas to be preserved via conservation easement or similar open space dedications covering multiple individual properties rather than within one or more platted outlots, Gaffron strongly recommended that the open space be preserved as an outlot. He explained staff's rationale (included in the staff report), including: • Page 14 of 22
