Pl anni ng & Zo ni n g B o ar d <br />Mar c h 10 , 20 04 <br />Page 2 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />Staff stated the preliminary plat for Ce ntury Farm North was approved by the City <br />Council on April 28, 2003. The approval includ ed a phasing plan as required by the <br />growth management ordinance. The final plat for phase 1 (56 units) was approved in <br />July. The developer has submitted the final plat for phase 2. <br /> <br />Staff stated the submitted final plat included individual lots for units in phase two of the <br />approved phasing plan. This included 65 un its: 22 single family detached townhomes, <br />42 single family lots, and one single family lo t for an existing house. This existing home <br />was not expected to remain when the phasing plan was approved. In order to comply <br />with the approved phasing plan, this lot must be counted as a new unit. <br /> <br />Staff presented their analysis and noted the P&Z included as a condi tion of approval that <br />the building exteriors should be reviewed wh en the final plat for these townhomes is <br />considered. Building materials on townhomes is an important issue, and was discussed <br />during the consideration of the preliminary plat last year. The zoning ordinance was <br />adopted March 10, 2003. The preliminar y plat was approved on April 20, 2003. <br />Additional attention to building exteriors is needed regarding the materials. <br /> <br />Staff indicated the title commitment must be approved by the City Attorney; the <br />homeowners association decl arations must include city enforcement authority; <br />development agreement; and power line easemen t issues must be resolved, including the <br />park trail. <br /> <br />Staff recommended tabling this item a nd return it to staff with direction. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle asked what was resolved with respect to the dedicated parkland. Mr. Smyser <br />replied that was a long negotiation and discus sion. He stated the land dedication was <br />sufficient and they met the requirements. He noted the land that was shown previously <br />was 10 percent for land dedication on the pr oject, with no cash dedication being made. <br /> <br />Chair Schaps invited applicant to make comment. <br /> <br />John Johnson, on behalf of Mr. Uhde, stated it was their intent to meet the exterior <br />requirement. He stated the title docum ent would be resolved. The homeowners <br />association had no problem making the change. With respect to the power line, he had a <br />letter from the power company, Great Rive r Energy, approving a partial release and the <br />improvements as proposed. He stated the document from the power company would be <br />finalized in a few days. He handed the Board a copy of the letter. Mr. Smyser replied <br />this would need to be review ed by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated in the original plans, they had not included th e existing homestead on <br />the property, assuming it would become part of some park usage and after discussion <br />with the Parks Board, it was determined it wa s not feasible. He stated the existing <br />homestead would be improved and sold and as a result they had another unit. He noted <br />taking one of the townhomes and adding it to the next phase would resolve the phasing <br />issue. He indicated they would end up with 250 units, rather than 249 units. He asked <br />the Zoning Board which phase they wanted that unit to be placed in.
