Public Hearing: Prairie Hamlet Open Space Development Planner Dillerud reviewed the historical developments that occurred regarding the Prairie Hamlet project. He said that the developer's consultant has requested an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit which would allow the two family structures to be single-family attached units, rather than duplexes. He said that since the plat configuration would also be changed by an affirmative action on the request to amend the CUP, both the Development Stage/Preliminary Plat and the Final Plat would require amendment as well, to be consistent with the amended CUP. He noted that a variance was also necessary since most of the single family attached lots resulting from the foregoing amendments would be less than the OP Ordinance minimum of % acre. 1-Ie said the developer proposed to increase the number of units from 17 to 18. He said one new single family detached lot is proposed to be created from existing Outlot C. He said the developer is requesting a variance to the front setback requirements from 30 feet to 10 feet for one lot. The proposal is to locate the structure 20 feet from the lot line on lot 1. Roger Tomten Representing Prairie Hamlet OP Development Mr. Tomten stated he generally concurred with the points presented by the Planner's Report. Mr. Tomten then suggested that the developer would be willing to substitute a single family detached structure for the proposed duplex on the lot immediately west of OutlotC if the City would permit creating a new single family detached lot from a portion of Outlot C. Mr. Tomten also stated that the backup wetland treatment site was not in Outlot C, but elsewhere in the open space outlots. Chairman Armstrong opened the comment portion of the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Monday, March 8, 1999 page 1 Sherry Pederson 9896 57th Street North She expressed her concern regarding the reduced lot size, which she feels does not meet the requirements of the OP Ordinance. Her suggestion was to take the four duplex lots and create two new single family lots from them.

Len Juran 9784 57t'' Street Mr. Juran said he was concerned about the reduced size of the lots where the proposed duplexes would be located. He said he was concerned about the variance to the setback requirements regarding the proposed lots for the single family attached units.
