STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council FROM: Corrin Wendell, AICP, Community Development Director DATE: Wednesday, November 30, 2022 RE: Preliminary Plat and Variance – 0 Edgerton Street (PID 052922340061) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To consider approval of a Preliminary Plat and Variance application for the property located at 0 Edgerton Street (PID 052922340061) to subdivide the parcel into seven lots. A Variance is requested for a reduction in the rear yard setbacks and lot depth of each lot. BACKGROUND At the Planning Commission meeting on July 14th, the Planning Commission reviewed the application and recommended approval (5-1) with additional guidance to the City Council. At the City Council meeting on July 27th, the City Council reviewed the application as well and listened to input from the public during the public comment period. The City Council tabled the discussion until their August meeting and referred the application back to the Planning Commission to review changes that have been made to the Preliminary Plat site plan given new information from the watershed district, input from the residents, and recommendations from the Council meeting. At the August 11th Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the updates to the Preliminary Plat and recommended approval to the City Council. At the City Council meeting on August 24th, the City Council reviewed the application and tabled the discussion to have the application provide more detailed information from the watershed district. For the revised Preliminary Plat, the following items have been modified: • One lot has been eliminated on the north end of the parcel, total lots decreased from 8 lots to 7 lots, which decreased the overall density of the site. • An outlot has been created on the north end of the parcel to accommodate stormwater management. • All 7 lots now meet the R-1 district requirement for lot area, (min 10,000 sq ft), which eliminates the need for the request for a lot size variance. • The watershed district reviewed the application for compliance with their requirements and have issued a letter of compliance with conditions. The City Engineer is working closely with the watershed district in evaluating the site. • The road width of the development may change from 28 feet in width to 26 feet in width to reduce impervious surface and stormwater management. This will be evaluated by the City Engineer.
