Planning & Zoning Board February 13, 2001 Page 6 put their store on. However, she was concerned about the access off of 77th Street to the Target Store. She stated Target Corporation had indicated the City wanted the access. She indicated she did not want access off of 77th Street into Target. Mr. Powell responded the City wanted some sort of a connection from 77th Street to Target Store; not from Target Store to 77th Street. He stated they originally had discussions for an access for emergency vehicles only, not for traffic to go from Apollo Drive to 77th Street. He stated the way the development was proposed, they were looking at Target Corporation's proposal for another access, but the Target Corporation was still revising their plans and nothing had been decided on. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to continue the public hearing until such time as the EAW process was completed and wetland fill and mitigation plans were approved by Rice Creek, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 5 -0. C. PUBLIC HEARING, Land Holding Group, 12th & Holly, Preliminary Plat Chair Schaps declared the public hearing opened at 7:14 p.m. Staff presented the application by Land Hold Group for a preliminary plat for the northwest corner of 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. Staff presented its analysis of the request, noting the site was zoned for residential development. The site was within the existing MUSA, and all of the lots met or exceeded the minimum lot size. The proposed lot widths were compliant with the minimum standard of a width of 90 feet for interior lots and 115 feet for corner lots. The minimum lot depth was 135 feet. All of the lots, except Lot 8, complied with this standard. Lot 8 had a depth of 127 feet, which required a variance. The Planning Commission could consider the site was impacted by wetlands and it was located at the intersection of two collector roads thereby limiting design options as a basis for granting the variance. Staff stated applicant had not submitted information about what house styles were being considered. The grading of the site must accommodate the housing styles. Staff indicated an existing shed and pole building were located within the new street right -of- way and must be removed. Utilities existed on both 12th and Holly, and an extension of utilities down the proposed cul -de -sac was proposed. The water main needed to be looped to 12th Street. The utilities plan was subject to City Engineer review and approval. The number of lots fronting 12th Avenue had been reduced from five lots in the concept plan to one lot in the preliminary plat. The number of lots fronting on Holly Drive had increased from zero to one. The rest of the lots were proposed to front a new cul -de -sac street. Based on modifications to the plan, which reduced the number of accesses, staff approved the layout. Staff indicated a trail was envisioned along Holly Drive, but had not been designed yet. It had not been decided whether the trail would be on the north or south side of Holly. It would be within the road right -of -way. Park dedication for this new development would be cash. Although boundaries of wetlands were shown on the preliminary plat, a wetland delineation report would need to be submitted. Wetland review should determine if the filling of the created pond that was proposed to be built in the southwest portion of the • •
