Comprehensive Plan: FINDINGS OF FACT a. The proposed development must be located within both the current and the next ten year staging area, or five-year phase, or located adjacent to the current staging area. The 4.38 acre subject site is adjacent to the Stage IA (2008-2015) Utility Staging Area. The existing home located at 63 White Pine Road is currently connected to municipal sanitary sewer. The newly created parcel will be served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. b. The proposed development must be master planned. Small, piecemeal developments do not justify redefining the ten-year staging area, or five-year phase. A master build out plan (ghost plat) indicates the parcel could be furthered subdivided into 3 more parcels in the future. If subdivided, these parcels would require municipal water and sanitary sewer. A small sanitary lift station may be required for future development as well due to the depth of the main. c. The proposed, master planned project must provide discernable public values. Per the Comprehensive Plan, Goal #1, Policy #5 of the Land Use Plan defines the following discernable public values. i. Preserving open space, providing park dedication and trails, and/or providing stormwater management areas, in excess of minimum standards to implement the Resource Management System Plan, as amended, and Rice Creek Watershed District's Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan, as amended ii. Restoring/enhancing ecological systems iii. Providing infrastructure that benefits community beyond the project site that would otherwise not be financially feasible. Erickson Estates will preserve open space and enhance the ecological system by dedicating a conservation easement over the wetland management/greenway corridor. Park dedication fees will be collected. Right-of-way will be platted and drainage and utility easements will be dedicated to preserve a corridor to extend public utilities in upon future development. d. Adequate infrastructure must be available to support development. Appropriate analysis will determine if adequate infrastructure is available and what utility extensions and transportation improvements are required to support new development. The City Engineer reviewed the existing infrastructure and determined it is adequate for the addition of one single family home. White Pine Road and Baldwin Lake Road are classified as minor collector roads and can adequately handle capacity for one more single family home.
