Request for:
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2 acres; Planned Unit
Development District Review with waivers on 2 acres; Zoning District
Amendment within the R1-22 District on 2 acres; Preliminary Plat of 2 acres into
one lot.
Jerry Steiner, attorney for applicants, Jeffrey and Karen Leu, presented the
proposal. He showed a preliminary plat of the property. He stated in 2004 the
Point of Lake Riley Plat was approved for 4 single family lots. One of these lots
has been built. What the applicant would like to do for the 2nd Addition on the
Point of Lake Riley would be to combine the 3 undeveloped lots into one lot. Mr.
Steiner pointed out the applicants do not yet have a specific plan put into place.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen said the Staff
recommends approval based on page 3 of the staff report.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
Pitzrick asked if the access points to Lake Riley would then be combined. Mr.
Steiner confirmed they would be combined. He said it would be one single path
which would be 16 feet wide with a 2 foot buffer on each side. He also pointed
out all of the wetland areas would be preserved.
Pitzrick asked how much on-grade parking would be allowed on this property.
Franzen said this would not be an issue with this property; they conform to the
ordinance requirements.
Stoelting asked if the low area of the driveway would be a concern for storm
water run-off. Steve Kleinman, of SKD Architects, said the low area would be
built up.
MOTION by Rocheford, seconded by Seymour, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 8-0.
MOTION by Rocheford, seconded by Kirk, to recommend approval of the
