y' • r RESOLUTION 2003-19 APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING FOR HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT FOR "EAGLE SHORES" ON PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF 122ND STREET AND WEST OF EVERTON AVENUE WHEREAS, Heritage Development has requested reclassification of the zoning from R-1 (large lot single family residential) to PUD (planned unit development) for a 12.16 -acre parcel, legally described as follows: Outlots C, H, I and J, Lake Estates, Washington County, Minnesota WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends approval, and; WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from R-1 to PUD; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by Heritage Development for the reclassification of the zoning from R 1 to PUD for the 12.16 -acre property, based on the following findings: 1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other City policies and plans. The development would allow single-family detached homes at a net density of 0.9 units per acre, which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements. 2. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by providing smaller lots served by sanitary sewer where septic systems would be allowed while maintaining a net density of approximately one unit per acre. The sanitary sewer would reduce potential negative impacts on the nearby Bald Eagle Lake that could be caused by a concentration of septic systems. 3. The PUD will allow a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the City. The PUD allows the developer to provide smaller lots --while maintaining a net density of one unit per acre --in exchange for extending sanitary sewer to serve the site and providing an oversized storm sewer system that could be used to address the existing drainage issues east of the subject site. Additionally, the PUD allows the developer to place the public street in the center of site, rather than on the east property line as originally proposed. Construction of the road in the middle of the site would allow the developer to plat the property without creating double frontage lots in the adjacent Lake Air Estates.
