COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2003 APPROVED 909 plat. He indicated that a regular plat typically addresses only one zoning type, and it becomes more .910 of a development plat when several uses are combined. 911 912 City Planner Smyser presented some of the elevations, showing the different styles that would be 913 used, even on the attached townhomes, with different doorways, roof lines and garage loading 914 options. He indicated an issue raised by the Planning and Zoning Board were the end units, which 915 look fairly blank. They requested visual variety be added to the end units. He reviewed the street 916 layout, indicating that an existing home on the corner of the property has a driveway going to Sunset, 917 and redesigning that driveway will have to be worked out before construction starts, as it is too close 918 to the new intersection. He noted the Planning and Zoning Board recommended Carl Street not 919 connect, and a section of Carl Street will need to be vacated, with the first reading of that ordinance 920 scheduled for May 12. He reviewed the remainder of the report, highlighting the design standards for 921 the PUD and the airpark layout. He advised that the developer will be marketing a section of the 922 development as an airpark now, however if they are unable to sell them with that use they may want 923 to convert to regular single-family homes. Staff has advised that they may have to come back for a 924 new preliminary plat if that is the case. He addressed hangar design standards and parking issues 925 within the townhome section, and reviewed the wetland plans, indicating they were subject to Rice 926 Creek Watershed District approval. He noted approval of the wetland plan is tied directly to the park 927 dedication, so it is critical to the project that the proposed wetland plan is approved. He indicated 928 they have not finalized the park dedication acreage and fees, but explained the formula used and 929 indicated it will be finalized prior to final plat. 930 931 City Planner Smyser explained that a lift station is necessary, and a utility study is being done. He w32 indicated the Environmental Board had many recommendations, most of which are now standard City 33 procedures, however one of their recommendations cannot be accommodated, as it concerns an area 934 of meadow that is not part of the plat. He stated the one unresolved issue from the work session was 935 the phasing plan, which is within the parameters of the Growth Management Ordinance, and all other 936 issues have been resolved. He indicated staff recommends approval of both the Ordinance and the 937 Resolution. 938 939 Councilmember Reinert stated that with the Growth Management Ordinance, City Planner Smyser 940 mentioned the number of units per year and the MUSA allocation, but he thought they also have a 50 941 units per developer limit, +/- 20%, and it appears phase 2 is over that limit. City Planner Smyser 942 indicated that was not a strict requirement. He does not remember the exact language, but it does not 943 specifically say you cannot go over 50 units. 944 945 Councilmember Reinert indicated one developer could then get 147 units, and he thought they had a 946 restriction to prevent that. City Planner Smyser stated one developer cannot get one year's allocation. 947 Councilmember Reinert indicated his memory was 50 units a year and they could go up 20% on 948 MUSA and the 147 per year, so phase 2 may need adjusting. 949 950 Councilmember Reinert asked if there was additional parking for the attached townhomes. City 951 Planner Smyser stated that in addition to the driveways and garage, there are parking clusters around 952 the development, a total of 49 additional guest spaces. 953 954 Councilmember Reinert clarified the park dedication would be approximately 6-7 acres and �55 $190,000. City Planner Smyser indicated it was somewhere in that range, they still need to finalize 56 the numbers. He reiterated the watershed plan has to be approved or the park dedication falls apart. 20
