Noting that the developer is planning to build modestly priced and sized homes, does <br /> Planning Commission have any concerns about imposing the 15% lot coverage standard on <br /> this development? The RPUD standard 50% FAR would likely allow for much larger <br /> homes to be constructed if no 15% limit is in place. <br /> 7. The developer should define how he plans to meet the 10% recreation area requirement. <br /> 8. Similar to the discussion with the recent preliminary plat on Northern Avenue, Planning <br /> Commission should consider whether there is value in placing the wetland and tree <br /> preservation areas within an Outlot rather than within individual properties. Especially if <br /> the tree preservation area becomes the 10% recreation area with a trail system, there need <br /> to be provisions for neighborhood access to it... <br /> 9. Developer should advise as to whether he still intends to pursue municipal water from <br /> Long Lake, and advise staff and Planning Commission as to any recent discussions he has <br /> had with Long Lake in regards to this plat proposal. <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Discussion of the above issues and any conclusions reached by the Planning Commission should <br /> provide applicant and staff with direction as to whether or how the proposed plat should be <br /> revised. Any remaining topics left unaddressed to date should be brought up for discussion. <br /> Options for action include: <br /> - Table for further revisions and consideration (provide applicant direction). <br /> - Recommend approval or conditional approval for the preliminary plat and rezoning to RPUD. <br /> - Recommend denial, stating reasons. <br /> - Other <br /> Any recommendation for approval should address the issues noted above and be subject the <br /> current and forthcoming comments of the City Engineer and Fire Marshal. <br />
