City Planner Terwedo reported Harvey Brockman/Lyman Development Company has applied for a zoning map amendment to rezone a 77.98 acre parcel of land, east of County Road 13 North of 15" Street, from Rural Residential to Open Space Preservation District. This parcel of land has been identified on the Future Land Use Map as an Open Space development area. M/S/P Conlin/DeLapp — to adopt Ordinance No. 9719, rezonj the Brockman property, a 77.98 acre parcel of land located east of County Road 13 and North of 15 Street, from (RR) Rural Residential to (OP) Open Space Preservation District based upon the proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and zoning regulations if approved, the future land use map indicates this area as an open space development area and recommended of approval by the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 4-0). B. Open Space Concept Plan (Brockman property) Mike Gan•, McCombs, Frank Roos & Assoc., handed out a revised open space concept plan, dated 10-7-97, for the Brockman property and explained this an Open Space Development Concept Plan for 32 single family homes with the preservation of approximately 36.49 acres of land. City Planner Terwedo added that the allowable density for this development is 35 units, but 32 units are proposed. The applicant has chosen to develop 1-acre lots and therefore could not yield the allowable lots. Terwedo would like to see flag lots remain on the site plan. These flag lots are incorporated into the site plan because of the views to the northeast. These types of lots may benefit a project if properly regulated and the City does not prohibit them in the OP Ordinance. Councilor Conlin was not in favor of flag lots. They are not allowed in other districts so why is it desirable here and not in the other residential zoning districts. Administrator Kueffner will provide the background on why flag lots were not allowed in the RE Zoning District. At the September 15, 1997 meeting, the Parks Commission recommended a park land dedication of 5.45 acres. The Planning Commission raised concern regarding a possible vehicle parking area which would need to be constructed as part of the park development. This will need to be further defined prior to Preliminary Plat approval. Staff recommended that the Parks Commission further define the type of park use that they would like to see. The Council was asked as to define the type of park they would like to see. Councilor Hunt went along with the recommendation of Parks Commission, Dunn wanted a private park, Conlin and DeLapp felt there is a need for park, but decision needs to be made if it should be public or private park. Conlin added that the City should take a look at access for safety to park. In his letter dated September 18,1997, Tom Prew recommended a prepayment of assessments on 15a' Street is necessary as the City has done with other subdivisions on gravel roads. The amount would be 4RR units x $1,456.00 = $5,824.00. The 1-acre lots will be tight for placing both the drainfreld areas and wells. Stormwater pending areas will also be needed near or in some lots. The cul-de-sacs should be constructed as a landscaping island instead of paved. A traffic -calming device be placed at intersection circle with 40' radius. Per City Planner, Dan Olinger felt the snow equipment the City owns is appropriate for the cul-de- sacs and turns.
