Request for Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 4.55 acres, and Preliminary Platting of 15.31 acres into 15 single family lots, 1 outlot, and road right-of-way. Location: Northwest quadrant of Valley View Road and Duck Lake Road. A public hearing. Bob Smith, representing the proponent, stated that the proponent had been before the Planning Commission and the City Council in 1989 to receive concept approval for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from low density to medium density. Smith reviewed the zoning for the surrounding properties. Staff had recommended that the proponent look at alternate plans from those originally proposed because of concern regarding the number of double fronted lots. Smith reviewed 3 alternative plans devised by the proponent. The proposal being recommended for approval consisted of a total of 44 lots. Phase I • would consist of 15 lots on 4.5 acres with the remainder of the parcel to be designated as "green acres" and was not being rezoned at this time. The utilities would connect from Valley View Road. A sidewalk system would be provided on the north and west side of the through road. The plan will be revised to increase the lot frontage on Lot 5, Block 1 to 70 feet. The tree replacement for Phase I would be placed along the street boulevard. Duck Lake Road would be platted and dedicated. A bituminous trail to the school will be constructed as part of Phase I. Bye asked if the neighbors understood that this would be a temporary cul-de-sac. Zachman replied that the cul- de-sac was proposed as temporary in the marketing information given to prospective buyers. Hallett believed that it was important that a sign be posted which would mark the cul-de-sac as temporary. Kipp stated that this requirement could become part of the Developer's Agreement. Kipp reported that the proponent would be platting 15 lots as Phase I, Phase II of the project would remain zoned Rural. The lot sizes proposed and the density of the project were similar in character with the existing neighborhood. Kipp stated that alternative designs for the development had been reviewed to try to eliminate some of the double frontage lots, but because each alternative either added more cul-de-sacs, poor sight vision distance, and did not eliminate more than two double frontage lots, the proposal as submitted should be used. The trail was to be constructed as part of Phase I. Kipp stated that the architectural diversity plan had been submitted. Staff recommended approval of the project based on the requirements outlined in the Staff Report. Ruebling asked Kipp to clarify the need for a landscape buffering plan for noise mitigation noted on Page 3 of the Staff Report. Kipp replied that the noise issue would be reviewed during Phase II due to the railroad tracks and Duck Lake Road traffic. Smith replied that a berm would be created. Ruebling asked if the main noise would come from the railroad tracks. Kipp replied that approximately 4 trains currently used this section of track. Ruebling stated that at the previous meeting in 1989 there had been concern because this development was higher than some of the neighboring homes. Smith replied that the homes in this proposal would be higher in elevation than the homes to the west. Ruebling then asked how much distance would be between the homes. • Smith replied that homes would be approximately 110 feet apart. MOTION 1• Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0-0. MOTION 2 • Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to recommend to the City Council approval of the request of Zachman Development Corporation for rezoning from Rural to R1- 9.5 on 4.55 acres for Round Lake View, based on plans dated February 28, 1990, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated March 9, 1990 with the Addition of Item 6 to read: The temporary cul-de-sac shall be posted with a sign. Motion carried 7-0-0. MOTION 3• Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to recommend to the City Council approval of the request of Zachman Development Corporation for Preliminary Plat of 15.31 acres into 15 single family lots, one outlot, and road right-of-way to be known as Round Lake View, based on plans dated February 28, 1990, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated Mach 9, 1990 with the addition of Item 6 to read: The temporary cul- de-sac shall be posted with a sign. Motion carried 7-0- 0. V. OLD BUSINESS Kipp reported that he had meet with owners of Ochs Brick Company regarding the grading along Highway #5. This grading will help buffer some of the outside storage from the views from the highway. As part of this review, Kipp stated that he will work with the State to try to get some landscaping planted along the Water Products site to help buffer their outside storage as well. Bye stated that the Planning Commission as a City Body would help support the recommendation for the additional landscaping. VI. NEW BUSINESS Kipp reported that the Comprehensive Guide Plan map had not been graphically updated since 1982, and Staff had developed a new map. Kipp presented the map for the Planning Commission's review. All City and Met Council approved guide plan changes that had been added in addition to Schools and Churches. Some water classifications changed to be consistent • with the DNR, and the Highway 212 alignment would be changed to reflect current approvals. The City needed to advise the Metropolitan Council of the major changes and present the map for its approval. Bye asked if the revised map would be presented to the Metropolitan Council and then come back to the City for further review. Kipp replied yes. Hallett asked if any of the land had changed and been designated as park land. Kipp replied that the park areas were basically the same as before, but some existing neighborhood parks were added to reflect existing parkland.
