r Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9B City Council April 18, 2006 Agenda Item: OP Development Stage Plan/Prelinunary Plat and CUP — "Hidden Meadows" Background Information for April 18, 2006: The Planning Commission considered this OP Plan/Plat/CUP to create 26 single family lots (25 new and 1 existing) at meetings March 27 and April 10, 2006. The Official Public Hearing was conducted on March 27, and the applications were then tabled pending resolution with the City Engineer of several infrastructure design issues, and submission by the applicant of a screening plan along the east site boundary to comply with OP standards where a 100 foot OP buffer is proposed. The majority of the infrastructure design issues were resolved with the City Engineer by April 10, and the applicant presented the screening plan at the April 10 Commission meeting. Following substantial discussion the Commission decided to recommend the applicant's proposed screening plan to be compliant with the intent of the OP buffer standards. Public Hearing testimony focused on a request by an adjoining (at the extreme southwest comer) property owner for a public street extension to the south plat boundary. That neighboring 20 acre parcel is accessed via an easement to Keats that was created when a 40 acre parcel was divided, with City approval, into 2 "shotgun" 20's several years ago. The property owner advised the Commission that he desires a direct public street access through this plat to eliminate a long easement driveway and enhance the potential to further divide the 20 acre parcels (perhaps to 10's) in the future. The Commission does not recommend the street extension be required. A second adjoining property owner requested that the trail along the west perimeter of the plat be moved away from the property line. The applicant has agreed to do so. The Commission has unanimously recommended that the OP Plan/Plat/CUP be approved.
