SUBMITTED BY: Community Development BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On December 12, 2016 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the Preliminary Plat for Rivers Bend Plat 3. During the hearing process it was determined that additional information was required; therefore the matter was tabled until all outstanding items were complete. On March 13, 2017 the Planning Commission received the final plat documents and recommended the City Council approve the preliminary and final plat to include execution of the Development Agreement. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council approved the PUD and Preliminary Plat entitled Rivers Bend in 2005. In 2006, the PUD & Preliminary Plat was amended to accommodate the construction of Kennedy Community School. In 2010, the City Council rezoned the subject property to R-4 and approved the preliminary and final plat for Rivers Bend Plat 2 to accommodate the construction of single family detached patio homes. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Applicant Information: CLC Partners, LLC, Owner/Developer Existing Zoning: R-4 Townhouse/Patio Home Residential District Location: North of CR 121/College Ave. S and northwest of Kennedy Community School Access: Access to the plat would be derived from County Road 121 (College Ave S) and Lanigan Way. A temporary paved cul-de-sac is proposed as a temporary turnaround on the east end. The future phase will require the th extension and connection of Lanigan way to 12 Avenue to CR 121 aligning with Jade Road. WCA/Wetland Setback: Wetlands have been delineated. The City has a wetland ordinance requiring buildings to be at least 50 feet from the delineated wetland and drive and parking areas to be at least 75 feet from the delineated wetland. AUAR: The property was a part of an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). An AUAR is a type of environmental review that looks at the cumulative impacts of different development scenarios. The review looks at transportation, land use, stormwater, wetlands, etc. along with mitigation measures. The proposed development must be consistent with the final AUAR, which it is. Stearns County: The submitted plat has been forwarded to Stearns County (Environmental & Highway Department) for review and comment. Stearns County indicated the original wetland delineation was still valid. Overall Plat Information: Size Use Block 1, Lots 1-7 16,147 SF – 24,465 SF Patio Homes Block 2, Lots 1-7 11,200 SF – 17,767 SF Patio Homes ROW 33,600 SF+ Right of Way Lanigan Way – 60 feet has been dedicated for purposes of public right of way. Lot Requirements would follow R-4 District. Lot Width: The minimum lot width in the R-4 district for a detached patio home is 60 feet and the minimum depth is 100 feet. The lots meet this minimum requirement. Lot Requirements for R4 Detached Patio Home - Front Yard Setback 30 feet Side Yard (interior) Setback 10 feet Side Yard (street) Setback 20 feet Rear Yard Setback 20 feet Wetland Building Setback 50 feet Maximum Building Coverage 35% Maximum Lot Coverage 50% Height Limitation 35 feet Trail and Sidewalk: Typically, a six foot wide sidewalk would be required on at least one side of the street per the current Subdivision Ordinance that was updated in 2016. The City Council waived the sidewalk requirement at the time Rivers Bend received plat approval contingent on a four foot wide shoulder and signed with no parking on the south side of Lanigan Way. A four foot wide shoulder, along with two additional no parking signs are proposed on the south side of Lanigan Way for this phase. Park Dedication Information: Parkland dedication was previously fulfilled with the parkland adjacent to the Sauk River. Drainage and Utility Easements: According to the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, drainage and utility easements are to be 6 feet on interior lot lines (12 feet total), 12 feet along roadways and over ponding areas. The plat proposes five foot drainage and utility easements along interior lot lines, and 10 feet along roadways. Easements are over the wetland areas. This is consistent with the original Rivers Bend Development Plan. ATTACHMENTS: Request for Council Action Resolution 2017-009 Approving the Preliminary Plat Resolution 2017-010 Approving the Final Plat Development Agreement Subdivision Application City Engineer’s Comments Preliminary and Final Plat REQUESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the Mayor and Administrator to execute Resolution 2017-009 approving the preliminary plat for River Bend Plat 3; execute Resolution 2017-010 approving the final plat for Rivers Bend Plat 3 and execution of the Development Agreement for the same.

(b) The As-built grading plan has been completed and all grading and erosion and control items are current and met. (c) Private utilities have been installed. (d) All sanitary sewer and water main items have been tested and approved by the City. 14 (e) Storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter and bituminous base course have been constructed to the project specifications.
