• <br />• <br />Planning & Zoning Board 2 Feb. 10, 1993 <br />- Generally the subdivision design appears well - conceived <br />however the number of lots proposed may be optimistic <br />- Street configuration needs some modifications including <br />orientation of lots on Cedar Street which is classified <br />as a collector street, double frontage lots off Otter <br />Lake, future consideration to western triangle not a part <br />of this plat, access to the property on to the south and <br />east, preservation of trees on site <br />- Expansion of utilities must be approved by City <br />Engineer <br />In response to these concerns, Mr. Kolstad stated that <br />they would be willing to work with the City in <br />redesigning the plat to conform with suggestions raised. <br />A sewer trunk is available on Cedar Street and should not <br />create any hardship for the City in connecting to it. A <br />well could be installed to serve the development. The <br />DNR and FEMA have indicated that an amendment to the <br />flood plain map may be possible changing the flood <br />elevation from 920' to 916'. There are 4 to 8 acres of <br />wetland and the developer would be willing to have these <br />areas delineated at this time. <br />Darrell Schneider indicated that the wetland delineation <br />is very important at this time. In regard to a question <br />from Kathy Nordine, Darrell questioned the feasibility of <br />a well to serve the site and indicated that a system <br />would need to be designed to serve the entire area adding <br />that cost may be prohibitive at this time. <br />John Landers asked what school district would be involved <br />here and what the procedure was in notifying them. Staff <br />advised that the property is in the White Bear School <br />District. <br />Chairman Schaps closed the discussion by indicating that <br />although many concerns were expressed there was a <br />favorable response to the proposal. <br />B. CONCEPT REVIEW - Country Lakes Estates, Rich Granger <br />Planning Consultant Brixius reviewed preliminary staff <br />comments concerning this 40 acre plat. The property is <br />Zoned R -1 and 67 lots are proposed. Some modifications <br />have been made based on previous discussion with Mr. <br />Granger. Generally this plat appears acceptable. The <br />cul -de -sacs proposed are longer than required but <br />alternatives do not appear available. Consideration of <br />buildable area is questions as to whether to consider <br />that area above the OHWM or the 100 year flood elevation. <br />Staff will be discussing this matter further. <br />Mr. Schneider explained that development of this plat is <br />
