Mounds View Planning Commission February 1, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 2 ________________________________________________________________________ Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 4. Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda None. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. Planning Case MI2006-001. Consideration of a Major Subdivision Request for 3049 Woodale Drive Planning Associate Heller explained that Dan Saplis has submitted an application for a major subdivision of 3049 Woodale Drive. These parcels abut the western boundary of the city limits, and are directly south of the Hidden Hollow development. Planning Associate Heller advised that the site is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and the proposed subdivision would be consistent with the existing zoning of the property. She stated that all of the lots shown on the preliminary plat satisfy the minimum lot size requirements. She noted that the proposed subdivision would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation, and consistent with the residential goals and policies as articulated in the Land Use section of the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Associate Heller stated that the project is located in the Spring Creek 4 sub-watershed, and that the homes will be constructed approximately at the 893 elevation, which is well above the 878.9 elevation in this sub-watershed. She indicated that Lot 1 would be graded so that runoff flows northeast towards the wetland area. She stated the other lots are shown to be graded in such a way as to allow swaled storm water with runoff collecting in the newly created pond along the eastern boundary of the site. She indicated that because the street will have curb and gutter, there are storm sewer catch basins that would accept all runoff from streets and driveways, and whatever storm water that does not infiltrate into the ground, piping the runoff to the pond on the site. Planning Associate Heller advised that the right of way would be sixty feet side and the street width is currently planned to be approximately 24 feet from curb to curb with the cul-de-sac being 90 feet in diameter from curb to curb. She indicated that Staff is recommending a wider street to allow for street parking. Planning Associate Heller explained that since this project will create six new lots, park dedication fees would be required. Staff is recommending the fee amount be 10 percent of the land value. The value is determined by the Ramsey County 2006 appraised land value. She stated that the utility plan shows the storm sewer piping that would be constructed on the site. She indicated that one new fire hydrant is shown on the plan consistent with the Fire Department spacing recommendations. She stated that the utilities and the street would be installed as a public project paid by special assessment levied against each of the six parcels or paid in full by the developer.
