<br /> <br />DNR Shoreland Overlay: <br />After meeting and working with the DNR, we have designed the Shoreland Overlay District area (300’ <br />from County Ditch #3) to meet the DNR requirements for the Residential PUD requirements. We are <br />proposing 25 single family Villa lots and maintaining 50% open space, see DNR residential PUD Analysis <br />spreadsheet below. <br /> <br /> <br />These lots will meet all DNR PUD Shoreland Overlay District standards for single family Villa lots. <br /> <br />Our proposed PUD maintains, restores and creates a significant amount of wetland area, natural <br />environmental features, and public open space. We designed an internal trail system that will connect <br />to the future trails in the City park property to the west. <br /> <br />Our PUD will connect to Farham Ave. N. to the southwest with a public road through the City park <br />property. Per our discussions during Sketch Plan approval, we will pay for the site grading and road <br />improvements on the City park land, and for the City to pay for the utility improvements on the park <br />property. The Preliminary Plat also shows two future street connections to the north, that will <br />ultimately connect to 165th St. N. We are not showing a street connection to the east as this property is <br />zoned Business Park (BP) and guided as Industrial (IND). <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment: <br />As shown on our Preliminary Utility Plan, we are proposing to connect to the Metropolitan Council’s <br />interceptor sewer at our northwest property corner. We would then extend the City’s 36” trunk <br />sanitary sewer line to our northeast property corner. This would require an update to the City’s 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />This project proposes to amend the comprehensive plan to gain access to trunk utilities (Sanitary Sewer <br />and Water) for this project as well as the future extension of trunk utilities to this area of the City. The <br />current comprehensive plan shows connections to trunk sanitary sewer at 165th Street (one parcel north <br />of our proposed connection point. Through conversations with City staff, it was determined that our
