Hopkins Farm Concept Plan The Commission considered the application of J&B Development, LLC, 2994 Rice Street, Roseville, for a rural preservation development sketch plan review for a development to be known as Hopkins Farms. The development would consist of 29 single family homes located on a 97.12 acre parcel owned by William and Ellen St. Sauver and located on the east and west side of Jeffrey, north of 152nd Street North. The CD Intern provided background to the Commission on the previous application considered by them and the Council on July 27th and August 21, 2006. She reminded them of the concerns they had regarding the previous plan and explained how the applicant had addressed them. The homes would be located on approximately one half (1/2) acre lots. Community well and septic systems would serve the development and the applicant would retain 72.89 acres as permanently preserved open space that would be owned and maintained by the homeowners' association. She explained how the density bonuses were being met and showed where the proposed open space would be located. The plan showed the lots clustered on the east and west sides of the property with open space in the center of the property. The plan still showed a gravel trail that ran east to west through the development and had dead ends on each side. The CD intern said a visit was made to the site to determine if there would be issues with sight distance where the road was proposed to connect to Jeffery Avenue. It was concluded there would be a problem with the hill on Jeffery Avenue.
