STAFF REPORT TO: Chair Schwalbach and Members of the Planning Commission FROM:Corrin Wendell, Community Development Director DATE: December 9, 2021 RE: Preliminary/Final Plat & Variance – 3000 Labore Road – Case #1407 ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Preliminary/Final Plat and Variances for Front Yard Setbacks, Lot Widths, and Cul-de-sac Length for the property located at 3000 Labore Road, PID 04-29-22-24- 0015, within the R-1, Low Density Residential District as stated in the staff report. BACKGROUND The City has received a Major Subdivision and Variance application from Nathan Faire, the applicant from Landmark of Little Canada, LLC for the parcel located at 3000 Labore Road. The applicant is requesting approval for a major subdivision and variance for the development of (15) new single-family homes. At the Planning Commission meeting on November 12, 2020, the applicant presented a Concept Plan/Preliminary Plat and Variance to the Planning Commission. The Variances at that time included Cul-de-sac Length, Lot Width, Lot Size, Front Yard Setback, and Side Yard Setbacks. The Planning Commission reviewed the case and recommended approval to the City Council. Due to adjacent land being potentially available to expand this proposal, the applicant paused the application and pursued the adjacent land. This item did not see the City Council at that time, however after not being able to add additional land, the applicant decided to continue pursuing approval for this development. The application returns to Planning Commission as a Preliminary/Final Plat and Variances for Cul-de-Sac Length, Lot Width, and Front Yard Setbacks. Due to the adoption of the new zoning code, Lot Size and Side Yard Setback Variances are no longer necessary. Current Use of Property: The property currently has one single-family home located on it. Applicant/Owner: Nathan Faire, Landmark of Little Canada, LLC. 13432 Hanson Blvd. Andover, MN 55304.
