The conditions have been satisfied unless otherwise noted in this report. Subdivision Ordinance Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The Erickson Estates final plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of the Resource Management System, Land Use Plan, Housing Plan, and Transportation Plan. The property was rezoned to R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential by Ordinance No. 01- 17. The proposed development is not considered premature and meets the performance standards of the subdivision and zoning ordinance. Density and Land Area Calculations The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density. Per staff’s discussion with Met Council on March 16, 2017, density calculations can be based on the 5 lot ghost plat and the subtraction of the utility transmission easement. Erickson Estates meets the land use goals of low density residential development by creating a 2 lot subdivision with Lot 1 containing the existing home and the Lot 2 intended for the construction of another single family residential home connected to municipal utilities. The proposed 1.62 units per net acre are consistent with low density residential development that allows for 1.6 to 3.9 units per net acre.
