• <br />• <br />PLANNING & ZONING MEETING 9 <br />MAY 12, 1993 <br />Chairman Schaps stated that this was a very powerful tool. <br />Rich Gelbmann indicated that it will be helpful in the <br />development of wetland areas. Tom Mesich asked if zoning <br />regulations are mandated by State Statutes and Mr. Brixius <br />replied that they are. <br />After some discussion Tom Mesich moved approval of the PUD <br />Ordinance and was supported by John Landers. All voted aye. <br />Motion carried. <br />V. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A. Concept Review - Behm's Century Farms <br />Mr. John Johnson and Mr. Gary Uhde were present to discuss <br />this item. Mr. Johnson explained that the request involves <br />approximately 95 acres of land north of Lilac and west of <br />Fourth Avenue for a total of approximately 161 building sites. <br />A rezoning to R -1 Residential is being proposed. The density <br />is planned for 1.7 units /acre due to extensive wetland in the <br />area. The R -1X zoning classification provides for density of <br />2.5 units /acre. Preliminary discussion with the watershed <br />district has resulted in no major concerns. <br />Some comments from the Planner included the following: <br />a. Block 10 needs to be modified to adhere to maximum <br />1,500 foot block length requirement. <br />b. Block 5 cul -de -sac should align with street locations <br />on development plan. <br />c. Thomas Street cul -de -sac should be modified to meet <br />maximum 500 foot length requirement. <br />d. Lot area be calculated above OHWM for all proposed <br />lots. <br />e. Rezoning application be pursued. <br />f. MUSA trade be pursued. <br />g. Review by Park Board, City Engineer, and others. <br />h. Cost of extending utilities must be born by developer. <br />Mr. Gelbmann stated that he found it encouraging that <br />developers seemed to be trying to work within the constraints <br />of the new wetland laws. He asked if the land uses in the <br />area were compatible - Air Park /Residential development. Mr. <br />Robinson asked if it was feasible to extend the sewer as <br />proposed. Mr. Schneider stated that the developer and his <br />engineer are working with John Powell, TKDA, to make a <br />determination in this regard. If there are any less than 150 <br />units it may not work. Kathy Nordine asked if the MUSA Trade <br />was a real possibility and if the traded land would have to <br />necessarily include wetland. Mr. Mesich asked if there is any <br />information on the percentage of R -1 land that is already <br />developed. Darrell indicated that we do have a data base to <br />
