2.48 CITY COUNCIL MEETING PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY HYLAND JUNE 27, 1994 Consideration of Final Plat, Fox Trace - Ms. Wyland explained that she would like this item tabled until the July 11, 1994 City Council meeting. A public hearing is scheduled for 6:45 P.M. to vacate a portion of easement on the southern boundary of the plat. A four-fifths City Council vote is required to approve the vacation. Since only three (3) Council members are present, the vacation of the easement item must also be tabled. Since vacating the easement is a condition of the final plat, the City Council cannot take action on the final plat this evening. Council Member Elliott moved to table this item until July 11, 1994. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Letter from Hokanson Construction Regarding Trapper's Crossing - At the June 8, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, the Board denied a request by Mr. Hokanson to allow a Planned Unit Development (PDO) for the development known as Trappers Crossing. Since that time, Mr. Hokanson has submitted a letter to the City requesting that the City Council direct his proposal back to the Planning and Zoning Board. His intention is to show an R -1X development compared to the submitted PDO development. The denial of the PDO by the Planning and Zoning Board has not been submitted to the City Council this evening because action would require a four-fifths vote of the City Council. Mr. Kirk Corson and Mr. Roger Hokanson were in the audience and Mr. Corson present both the proposed R -1X development and the PDO development. Mr. Corson noted that the plat contains approximately 140 acres. Because of the large amount of wetlands, only 72 acres can be developed. Some of the 72 acres is also considered wetlands and development will take place around the wetlands. Mr. Corson explained that his planner felt a PDO development would fit the area and this idea was supported by City staff. The PDO concept shows 119 lots on 72 acres. Some of the lots are very large and four (4) lots do not meet the R -1X standards. The R -1X concept shows 104 lots on 72 acres. It also shows more road surface and smaller lots facing the exterior wetlands. Mr. Corson explained that the R -1X concept would increase the cost to develop each lot about $10,000.00. Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Corson to send each Council member a copy of the two (2) concepts for their review. Council PAGE 3 1 1
