Rice Lake Reserve PUD and Preliminary Plat Page 11 Sanitary sewer will be extended from the 4" forcemain provided to this location in 2004 as part of the Goodview Avenue Improvement Project as the site was deemed to require a sanitary sewer lift station to service this area. The lift station will be sized and placed at an elevation that will allow for the extension of gravity sanitary sewer to serve the adjacent area up to and including the Hugo Public Works facility. If lift station upsizing is required, the City of Hugo would be responsible for oversizing costs. 5. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends the following revisions and additions to the plans: • The applicant shall revise the lot depth for Lot 1, Block 1, to be in compliance with the rear yard setback of 30 feet. • The applicant shall include additional coniferous (evergreen) trees along the south side of Lot 20, Block 4, to provide a buffer from Egg Lake Road (CSAH 8). • The applicant shall include additional landscaping at the entrance off of Goodview Avenue creating a defined main entrance into the development. • The applicant shall include additional landscaping around a portion of the lift station. • The monument sign location, design, and landscaping, shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to installation. • A trails shall be added to the plans for Street A. The trail shall be installed and paid for by the developer. • The applicant revise the plans to show a neighborhood gather space central to the development, including amenities. Staff believes that the layout of the proposed Rice Lake Reserve PUD general plan exceeds the City's standards for residential developments, if the staff recommendations are implemented. Fenway Land Company has offered a more creative and efficient approach to the existing constraints of the property through the site design layout. It is in staff s opinion that the applicant meets all the requirements necessary to approve the PUD and preliminary plat, subject to the conditions in the resolutions. 6.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission generally liked the layout of the development. One Commissioner stated they thought the lots were too small for two-story single family homes. The Planning Commission discussed the neighborhood gathering space and generally agreed that it would be a good amenity to the development.
