1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />4 <br />COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 <br />be acted upon: <br />1. The proposal conforms to that last two (2) Comprehensive <br />Land Use Plans and the area is designated as Rural <br />Expansion. <br />2. Existing land use is low density residential as is the <br />proposed plat. <br />3. The proposed concept plan meets all of the current R-1 zone <br />design and performance standards of lot area and size above <br />the above the flood plain. The average lot size is over <br />24,000 square feet, with minimum lot size over 10,800 square <br />feet. <br />4. The proposal may be accommodated by existing municipal <br />services and not over burden city service capacity. The <br />existing sewer and water main have adequate capacity and <br />depth to serve this project. The developer will bear cost <br />of utilities to the proposed plat. <br />5. The proposal does provide fiscal benefit to the City as <br />outlined earlier. The 135 new homes will generate <br />additional building permit fees, park dedication, property <br />taxes and new residents. New residents are the life blood <br />of a growing community. The extension of utility services <br />will allow existing residents to connect when they choose. <br />6. Traffic generated by the plat is within the capacity of the <br />streets serving the plat according to the County Highway <br />Traffic Engineer. The Anoka County Highway Traffic Engineer <br />has indicated that there are no plans to upgrade Lilac <br />Street or Sunset Avenue within the next 10 to 15 years. <br />The plat will generate 150 peak hour trips upon full <br />development. The County may require turn lanes and if so <br />the developer will construct them at his own cost. <br />Mr. Uhde said he feels that he has met all of the requirements <br />outlined by the City staff that are necessary for a rezone <br />approval. <br />Council Member Bergeson referred to the planned extension of <br />Thomas Street and another new street and noted that they do go <br />relatively close to existing houses. He asked if the right-of- <br />way for these two (2) streets has been planned for a long time. <br />Mr. Uhde explained that these two (2) streets were platted with <br />the original plat in about 1976. <br />Mayor Reinert asked how many surface water acres will be platted? <br />PAGE 11 <br />
