Centex/Minea Preliminary PlatCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING DATE: July 9, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Centex / Minea Preliminary Plat issues PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner ATTACHMENTS: Preliminary Plat reductions — � L 4 G y SUMMARY Staff is processing the preliminary plat for the Minea property. The first Planning Commission review is /was the public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, July 8. Two significant issues have come to light that have caused staff to request this agenda item: 1. The preliminary plat falls short of total compliance with the conditions of concept approval – primarily, the requirement for common parking. Staff understands how requiring 1/2 space per unit might seem high, especially when some on -street parking will be available. The standard was written at a time when all townhouse developments had private internal streets that were narrow (no room for parking) and setbacks of only twenty feet. In addition, the Fire Marshal will accept fire sprinklers in the large townhouse buildings in lieu of the looped private streets. However, there may be other good reasons for looping or connecting some or all of these private streets – trash pick -up being one of them. 2. Landscaping the pond / wetland buffer zone and open space. Council direction was to create something special for these spaces. A lot is riding on how these spaces are treated, because the concentration of density through the townhouses is what the Developer gets in return. There is no formula or specification to give direction on what would be acceptable. The Developer has proposed some plantings, trails and even bird - houses in an attempt to respond the direction. The wetland area is protected by a 75 ft. buffer - zone, an area that prohibits any impact. In addition, there is a 150 ft. setback for buildings, essentially doubling the buffer -zone, although this area is available for back yards. The plan has been revised to create an outlot that generally corresponds to the wetland buffer- zone. Council direction is requested to enable the Developer and Staff to ensure that Council expectations are met with the revised preliminary plat. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Intended for discussion and direction only. i t i _ E: 1 r MEW _ . • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ W-CENTEX V HOMES MINEA PROPERTY R O S E M O U N T M I N N E S O T A ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ r ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ r ■ NORTHERN PARK &OPEN SPACE CENTEX Westwood HOMES POND .............. --,x 7N ZOPOSED PEDESTF ., TRAIL AND FIEF (BX OTHERS) _ �` NATIVE TURF AR]EA' _ -(LOW MAINTENANCE) ... - BACARDI AVENUE A -4N> v NOT TO SCALE MINEA PROPERTY R O S E M O U N T MINN E S O T A c�► '10 �6 F Lid' vs/ \ii ' — Oki w F / , 0010 1p lu4_09-77 IV lk , Ad ,� � - ��S- =16 mpvw AmmL— - r4jV Q 4. -il. .1 r T 4* i it 1 lFw— ,o& 0 -,0 11 ), ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The Vineyard Collection The Vineyard Collection reflects the next generation of traditioanl one -level style townhomes.
