SUMMARY
Thomas Von Bische of Heritage Development
'/4 mile east of Biscayne Avenue between the Biscayne Pointe development and
135 Street west.
Gerald Abbott
Approximately 30
68 single family (detached) lots
Urban Residential
R -1, Low Density Residential
Recommendation of denial (2 -1)
This single - family residential concept review was requested by the Developer to identify design concerns and
revision needs prior to investing in the detailed engineering design that goes into a preliminary plat.
Ultimately, the intent is a variance -free plat that will go through the preliminary plat process without the need
for Planned Unit Development.
Development of the property is made possible by the St. Joseph Church and Educational Center to the west and
the anticipated construction of Connemara Trail. However, many design issues relating to access to Connemara
Trail and interconnections to surrounding properties suggest that portions of the concept area may have to be
redesigned, or may be premature altogether.
The attached memo provides further detail.
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION
Three neighboring property owners expressed their reservations regarding the development. The concerns
ranged from additional traffic and the design to impacts on the recent and undeveloped land. The Planning,
Commissioners were cautioned about redesigning the concept, even though they were willing to discuss broad -
ranging revisions. Subsequently, two of the Commissioners present supported the recommendation to deny the
concept as premature rather than entertain an indefinite tabling. The dissenting Commissioner was willing to
recommend in favor of the indefinite extension.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to direct staff to prepare findings of fact in support of denial of the concept for Biscayne Pointe
Fourth Addition.

Public Hearing: Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition- Concept PUD
Vice- Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file
with the City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and
Affidavit of Publication concerning the public hearing on the Concept PUD for Biscayne
Pointe Fourth Addition.
Mr. Pearson presented the concept plan for Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition, located
north of Biscayne Pointe development, '/a mile east of Biscayne Avenue and east of the
proposed site for St. Joseph's. Connections to Connemara Trail were reviewed. The
Parks & Recreation Commission feels that two lots in the southern portion of the
development should be absorbed into the existing park. Several issues remain
unresolved, including street alignment and ponding. These issues cannot be resolved
within the 60 day statutory period. Staff believes this concept plan is premature .
Discussions continued concerning the Connemara Trail location and spacing between
intersections.
Vice - Chairperson Weisensel opened the meeting to the applicant. Tom Von Bische
addressed issues related to the location of Birchwood Avenue and suggested that it run
along the property line. Because the drainage pond also services the church property, he
suggested that the pond be moved to the western boundary. Because his development
will be assessed for Connemara Trail, he feels the development should have the right to
access onto Connemara Trail
Mr. Pearson explained it is too early to comment on Mr. Von Bische's suggestions.
Extensive design changes cannot be accomplished in a meeting.

RE: Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition
BACKGROUND

This property lies east of the St. Joseph's site and has been under option by Heritage
Development for over a year. Staff's position in the past has been that development has been
premature. The construction of Connemara Trail is integral to the development, and will provide
primary access in and out of the development. Issues remain to be solved, especially intersection
alignments on Connemara Trail which may or may not occur on this property.
CONCEPT REVIEW
The Developer has asked for a concept review to stimulate discussion regarding this area given
the complexity of issues that need to be resolved. Connemara Trail will not be built until next
yer, and therefore, the preliminary plat package including all of the engineering of grading,.
utilities and detailed street design will come later.
The proposed land use is single family lots consistent with all applicable standards. Park land
contiguous with land dedicated with Biscayne Pointe and a storm -water pond will also be
included.
STREET DESIGN
The property is long and narrow, with the streets generally forming a grid oriented north and
south. Connemara Trail is shown close to the location recommended by W.S.B., the Cities'
Engineering consultants. Access from Connemara occurs both north and south but off -set about
300 feet. The north half of the development has connections to the north and west for future
development continuity. No connections other than Connemara Trail occur to the east.
The southerly half of the property has a connection into the Biscayne Pointe development as
planned, with potential for access into the southeast corner of the St. Joseph's site. Two cul -de-
sacs are shown on the south half with some lots that align with a four acre park that includes the
storm -water pond.
ENGINEERING STREET CONSIDERATIONS
The Interim City Engineer has recommended that the concept be modified to shift and
consolidate the street connections to Connemara Trail. The westerly connection is 450 feet from

an anticipated connection with the St. Joseph's site. Minimum separation of streets and
driveways is.600 feet. Connections to the future easterly neighborhoods is also recommended to
be consistent with established City Council policy. A resulting re- design may have lessor no
direct connection to Connemara Trail, with access occurring through adjacent properties.
PARK AND PONDING CONSIDERATIONS
The Parks & Recreation Director has indicated that the park does not completely correspond with
the land dedicated with Biscayne Pointe. Therefore, the two adjacent lots on the end of the cul-
de -sac should be converted to park. The lots could shift elsewhere — for example, the street
could go straight through to the east and one or two more lots could be on the north side of the
street.
The Parks and Recreation Commission will be discussing the park issue at their meeting on
Monday evening.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Generally, staff believes that this entire area should be examined in further detail and decisions
need to be made about access to Connemara Trail. Designing this property without relating it to
the two adjacent properties could be problematic. Since Connemara Trail will not be built until
next year, there is time to work through these issues.
Unless the Developer / Applicant is willing to indefinitely suspend the 60 day review period for
extensive plan refinements or revisions, then a recommendation to deny the concept because it is
premature would be appropriate.
