• <br />Fox Den Acres <br />page 2 <br />We have utilized the review extension allowed by law, and we are facing a deadline of <br />November 19th for City Council action on the rezoning and preliminary plat. Therefore, a <br />recommendation by the P & Z is necessary. <br />Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer and Associates has provided invaluable assistance on this <br />project . Mr. Schoenbauer has been intimately involved in working directly with the <br />developer on behalf of the City. His project memo is attached. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Comprehensive Plan, Land Use and Zoning: The table below identifies the <br />existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area. <br />Location <br />Existing Land Use <br />Guided Land Use <br />Existing <br />Zoning <br />Site <br />vacant <br />40 acres: Low Density <br />Sewered Resid. <br />R -1 <br />North <br />radio tower and other <br />communication facilities <br />Low Density Unsewered and <br />Sewered Residential <br />R -1 <br />South <br />wetland <br />Low Density Unsewered Resid. <br />Rural <br />East <br />wetland <br />Low Density Unsewered Resid. <br />Rural <br />West <br />single family residential <br />Low Density Sewered Resid. <br />R -1 <br />The following is a summary of the of•the proposal's density: <br />Gross Site Area 50 acres <br />Upland Area 38 acres <br />Total Lots 57 <br />Gross Density 1.14 units /acre <br />Net Density 1.50 units /acre <br />The comprehensive plan guides the site for Low Density Sewered Residential land use. <br />The site is within the stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area and within the existing MUSA. <br />Public water, sanitary sewer, and a public street are stubbed to the site. This site has been <br />guided and zoned for development for many years, even previous to the current <br />comprehensive plan adopted in 2002. <br />The design fits within the Low Density range of up to three units per acre. If the areas <br />outside the MUSA, about ten acres, are subtracted from the upland, the density would be <br />about two units per acre (57/28 = 2.04). <br />Growth Management: <br />
