<br />8. #04 -3016 HENRY LAZNIARZ OF WAYZATA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, 120
<br />BROWN ROAD SOUTH — PRD SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT
<br />Gaffron reported that this item was tabled at the June 14 meeting to allow the developer to provide
<br />additional detail regarding proposed house locations, relationships to lot lines, setbacks, etc. While
<br />Council indicated support for the concept of creating an outlot for the areas to be preserved, they
<br />were concerned about the clustering, building separation, and intensity of development in the
<br />portion of the property being developed. Gaffron indicated that staff would recommend approval
<br />of the proposed preliminary PRD, subject to the 9 general and specific conditions noted within the
<br />staff memo dated June 24, 2004, and direction to draft a resolution for preliminary plat approval.
<br />Gaffron pointed out that staff feels development of this site as PRD is an appropriate zoning and
<br />win -win situation for the City and the developer, since otherwise the 14 dry buildable acres might
<br />put one of the homesites south of the creek next to the Luce Line. In addition, the PRD allows the
<br />City to impose a higher standard to mitigate any negative impacts of the clustering while
<br />preserving substantial areas of wooded `dry buildable' land as open space that might otherwise
<br />have become homesites. He pointed out that in all 7 lots, it would be reasonable to require any new
<br />construction to meet a 30' setback from the lot lines.
<br />With regard to accessory buildings, Gaffron suggested the Council determine a standard that could
<br />be put in place for this development concerning setbacks, buffers, etc. In addition, Gaffron stated
<br />that staff would recommend that no structures, no fences, no non - domestic animals (horses, sheep,
<br />chickens, etc..) no tree or vegetation removal except by specific permit for maintenance, no •
<br />excavating or earth movement, be allowed; except for the maintenance of walking paths,
