This is not necessary, since the 3.7 acres is adequate. Growth Management, Units/Year: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of dwelling units of residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). The goal is 147 per year. The City Council has the flexibility to exceed the limit by 20% (29 units) in a year without amending the comprehensive plan. The table at the end of this report shows the status of the staging plans for final platting new residential units. The goal for 2004 has been exceeded. However, one more lot for 2004 would put the total at 22 over the target, or 15% over (it is at 14% now). This would fall within the allowable 20% range. The option is to deny the application because it exceeds the 147 limit. This would prevent the property owner from selling a lot until 2005. Preliminary Plat Lots: The minimum lot size in the R -1 zone is 10, 800 sf of upland. As listed above, all lots meet this minimum. (The minimum 10,800 sf is 0.25 acre.) The original preliminary plat reviewed in December included a lot width variance. The new plat no longer needs this variance. Shoreland: Baldwin Lake is a "recreational development" lake under the shoreland overlay ordinance. Minimum lot size is 20,000 sf (0.46 acre) with an 80' lot width. The proposed lots are large enough. Structures on sewered lots must be set back 75' from the ordinary high water level of 883.1. The proposed house pad meets this requirement. Streets, Access: No new streets are needed. A new driveway will be needed for Lot 1. The driveways must be five feet from a property line. Parks: The subdivision ordinance includes park dedication requirements. Park dedication is $1665 per residential unit, less any land dedication. There is no land dedication needed, so the park dedication will be $1665. Anoka County owns property that abuts the road on the west side of Rohavic Oaks 2nd Addition. The Anoka County trail map shows a future trail connecting to White Pine Road west of the site of the proposed plat. The proposed new house lot will not affect that future trail. Utilities: The existing house is connected to city water and sanitary sewer. The new house will connect as well. Grading and Stormwater Management: Wetlands cover the northern portion of the site. Drainage and utility easements will cover the wetlands. Easements also will be platted along all the property lines that do not run into wetlands. The Rice Creek Watershed District has issued a
