Approve Minutes March 9, 1993 AGENDA REPORT Planning Commission Regular April 13, 1993 3. Public Hearing Preliminary Plat Dakota County Estates 8th Addition Dakota County Estates 8th Addition is the next to last phase of the original P.U.D. It contains 86 single family lots on 18.4 acres for an overall density of 4.6 units per acre. While lot sizes range between 6,000 and 12,600, most are close to the minimum size as illustrated in the P.U.D. plan. One element of the P.U.D. plan not reflected however, is a stub street which is 550 feet from the southeast corner of the plat on the southern property line of Dakota County Estates. This places it on the lot line between lots 15 and 16 in block 3. Corner lots should be approximately 15 feet wider than interim lots to provide the same size building envelope. In order to accommodate this reality, both lots 15 and 16 should be eliminated and the lots in the rest of the block adjusted accordingly. It should be noted that the Stegmaier Farm has been purchased by a developer and he has already submitted a concept plan which makes the connection with Dakota County Estates. A response has been received from the DAkota County Soil and Water Conservation District. There are no wetlands involved in this plat and comments are restricted to construction precautions for run off and street surface clutter. The Fire Chief has asked that the plat be approved subject to comments from the City Fire Marshall regarding the location of hydrants. The Fire Marshall will return from vacation just after the Planning Commission meeting. The City Engineer has not yet reviewed the plat but the staff anticipates that comments will be limited to engineering detail. Like the other phases of Dakota County Estates, the plat will be built with 429 financing and the City Engineer's office will be responsible for construction drawings. Recommendation Approve the preliminary plat subject to the addition of a stub street to the south and comments from the City Engineer, Fire Marshall and the Soil and Water Conservation District. 4. Discussion Metropolitan Council Response to MUSA Swap Request The first part of the letter amounts to a fill in the blanks recommendation to the City Council. The staff Development Committee will review and provide a possible draft to work with. The last requires some answers from the Council staff regarding their change in attitude about dealing with borrowing MUSA land area.
