PUBLIC HEARING: <br />A public hearing was posted in the Stillwater Gazette on April 3rd, 2026, and a notice was mailed to property <br />owners within 500’ of the outermost property boundaries on March 30th, 2026. It was also added to the City’s <br />Push Notification list. At the time of writing this report, no comments have been received by the City on the <br />requests. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve the preliminary plat and requested variances; or <br />2. Approve the preliminary plat and two of three variances with conditions as recommended by staff; or <br />3. Deny the preliminary plat and requested variances. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the above review, City staff find the proposal to be generally in line with the City’s adopted ordinances <br />and policies. Staff is therefore recommending conditional approval of the preliminary plat, setback and sidewalk <br />variances, and rezoning. Example Motion: <br />“Move to recommend the City Council approve the rezoning, preliminary plat, and setback and sidewalk <br />variances requested by Rachel Development on the subject property based on the findings of fact and <br />recommended conditions of approval listed in the staff report.” <br />Staff finds that the number of disturbed acre plantings does not meet the required criteria for approval of a <br />variance and therefore recommend denial with the findings in this report. Example Motion: <br />“Move to recommend the City Council deny the variance for disturbed acre plantings requested by Rachel <br />Development on the subject property based on the findings of fact listed in the staff report.” <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1. Application and Narrative <br />2. Preliminary Plat Plans <br />3. Engineer Memo 3/24/2026 <br />4. Fire Dept Memo 3/24/2026 <br />5. LSA Memo 3/31/2026 <br />
