City Council meeting of September 16, 1991 Page 6 Use Permit (SUP) to construct a Planned Unit Development (PUD) east of Geneva Avenue and north and south of 145th Street. The property in questions is currently zoned SFE, and the proposal is for 120 residential lots. The City Council reviewed this request at their August 5, 1991 regular meeting, at which time said matter was tabled until seven areas of concern were addressed. The developers now feel that the areas of Council concern have been addressed and reviewed by the City Engineer. The property in questions is described as the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 20, T31N, R21W, Washington County, MN., and the East 1,321' of the N 1/2 of Govt Lot 2, Section 20, T31N, R21W, Washington County, MN. The site contains approximately 60.27 acres, more or less. The developers are approaching their proposal from a density stand point, taking into account the Council's previous concerns regarding the number of dwelling units that would be allowed if the property were rezoned to SFU. The density approach being used is predicated on the position that duplexes are allowed in SFE zoning districts by SUP, and that if density is a real concern to the Council, two dwelling units per acre should be an acceptable proposal. The City Engineer was present to review his report with -the City Council, and answer any questions regarding this project. Mayor Stolt man indicated concerns with the ditches leaving the ponding areas. Engineer k::uusisto stated that those ditches would be walked as soon as the ground was dry enough, and a majority of the concerns raised by the Council would be addressed in the Development Agreement. Two letters were read by the Mayor, from residents, indicating no objection tr the project. Ms. Floreen Meyer spoke against the project. McAllister made motion, Stolt man seconded, to approve the request of Martin and Sandra Wegleitner for a Special Use Permit to construct a Planned Unit Development for 120 residential lots. The property is legally described as the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 20, and the East 1,321' of the N 1/2 of Govt Lot 2, Section 20, all in T31N, R21W, Washington County, MN.
