12 <br />The site is located in a Shoreland Management Overlay district. Rice Lake is a Natural <br />Environment Lake with an 883.1 OWHL elevation. A setback of 150 feet from the <br />OHWL is required for all primary and accessory structures. Impervious surface coverage <br />of 30% applies to all lots within the overlay district. <br />Previous Comments: <br /> <br />1. Lots 7-10, Block 1 are subject to the 150 foot setback requirement. <br />a. These lots meet lot width and size requirements but builders should be <br />cognizant of the setback and design accordingly for decks or future <br />additions. <br />b. Lots 8-9, Block 1 have limited area above the OWHL for accessory <br />structures. <br /> <br />These corrections are noted under Recommendations. <br /> <br />Growth Management Policy <br /> <br />Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3-27), an annual average of 230 units per year over <br />each 5 year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end <br />of the 5 year phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years. <br /> <br />St. Clair Estates will be developed in one phase. Grading of the site is anticipated this <br />summer with potential home construction in the fall. <br /> <br />Final Plat <br /> <br />A land use application for final plat shall be required. <br /> <br />Environmental Board Meeting <br /> <br />The Environmental Board reviewed St. Clair Estates on June 29, 2016 and recommended <br />approval with conditions as summarized in the attached letter from the Environmental <br />Coordinator. <br /> <br />FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> <br />Section 302.03(1)(h) states the minimum length of a cul-de-sac shall be 500 feet. The <br />proposed cul-de-sac in St. Clair Estates is approximately 1,200 feet. A variance shall be <br />required. <br /> <br />Cul de sacs are limited in length due to concerns regarding access for emergency <br />services. This concern is being addressed because the City is requiring an emergency <br />access trail as recommended by the City’s Public Safety Department. St. Clair Estates is a <br />35 lot low density residential development. Sioux Lane existed as a 1,500 foot cul de sac <br />from 2001 to 2012 (11 years) and Hokah Drive existed as a as 2,000 foot cul de sac from <br />1979 to 2012 (33 years) without an emergency access trail and without issue.
