P.C. Minutes - October 23, 1996 Page 3 ANDERSON SUBDIVISION Karen Anderson, 15149 Everton Ave. North, is proposing to subdivide 22.1 acres into two residential lots of 12.2 acres and 9.9 acres. The applicant submitted a 1973 survey of the 39 acre piece with the NSP corridor property shown. Mr. Elliott recommended that Ms. Anderson resolve the issue with NSP regarding easements and property ownership as a benefit to herself. Ms. Anderson provided a current soils report and pert test for the proposed lot. Rice Creek Watershed District will review the request on November 13th. Dale Hebeisen of Hult Surveyors recommended moving the proposed north property line to create a 10 acre lot which would not require a variance to lot size for the southern most lot. The applicant pleaded with the Planning Commission for a recommendation to expedite the closings of 3 real estate transactions. Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Peltier to recommend approval of the request of Karen Anderson, 15149 Everton Ave. North, to subdivide 22.9 acres into two parcels subject to the following conditions: 1. A current survey containing the 22.9 acres be provided to the City Council prior to consideration. 2. Both parcels created meet the minimum lot size requirement of ten acres each. All aye, motion passed. CONCEPT REVIEW - CRAIG SMITH The applicant is proposing to subdivide 39 acres into 6 residential lots using a cluster development PUD. Mr. Smith was previously before the Planning Commission with this property and subsequently rearranged the subdivision to meet cluster development standards. The property is accessed via the 66 foot driveway easement to the Garden from 132nd St. North. The site is open on the east, wooded with a wetland area on the west. The proposal keeps the eastern half of the property open. The residential lots are clustered on 3 to 4 acre lots in the woods on the east. A perimeter 30 foot easement is shown to accommodate an equestrian trail. The cluster development standards in the draft comprehensive plan call for a 25% density bonus for aesthetic design, retention of open space and public amenities. The proposal requests a 50% bonus, similar to the Washington County recommendation. The applicant's principal reason for the 6 lot request is the cost of the road construction —500 feet along the Garden's easement and the additional 400 foot curie-sac. The proposed road would be built to city standard on the northern 600 feet and cul-de-sac segment. Outlot B would remain gravel. The Planning Commission supports the 50% bonus for clustering and the amount of open space proposed. Motion made by Peltier, seconded by Malaski to move the regularly scheduled meeting of November 27, to November 20, 1996. All aye, motion passed. After review of the proposed Day Care Ordinance, Malaski made motion, seconded by Schumann to recommend approval with the following changes: B Class to read, "seven or more clientele children being cared for". A Class to read, "six or fewer...".
