BACKGROUND: The property is generally located north of 1591h Street and east of the north City water tower. This property is just east of the approximately 40 acre park area that was dedicated with the Oneka Place development. The property is currently vacant, relatively flat, and has some site constraints due to wetlands, floodplain, shoreland and a ditch. The applicant would like to receive feedback on the project in regards to general layout, housing types, wetland replacement, and road connections. 2. SKETCH PLAN: Golden Valley Land Company is planning to develop a parcel of land that is 33.41 acres, with 6.1 acres of wetland. The plan shows 84 proposed lots, 70 villa lots and 14 single family homes along the ditch. The plan also shows stormwater ponding areas, trail connections, and road connections. A home owners association is proposed for the development. The sketch plan was completed to get comments from the various commissions and Council prior to moving forward with the formal development approval process. The plan shows the extension of Farnham Avenue, through a piece of City owned property, to access the parcel. The number of lots does not include the 10 lots shaded north of the water tower along Farnham Avenue. Staff will discuss this in more detail further in the staff report. Current Zoning The proposed parcel is located in the Future Urban Service (FUS) zoning district. The applicant intends to request flexibility on lot sizes and setbacks for the 50 foot wide villa lots
