RESOLUTION 1997-
A RESOLUTION FOR DENIAL OF
AN AMENDMENT TO THE
GERONIME POND RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
REQUESTED BY HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT OF MINNESOTA,INC.
BASED UPON FINDINGS OF FACT
WHEREAS,the Planning Department received an application for an amendment to the planned
unit development intended to substitute detached townhouse housing types for attached twin
homes from Heritage Development of Minnesota,Inc. on August 27, 1997 to be located within
Outlot C, of Geronime Pond; and,
WHEREAS,the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing as required by the zoning
ordinance on September 23, 1997; and,
WHEREAS,the Pla.nning Commission adopted a motion to recommend that the City Council
deny the amendment because of inadequate separation between the detached housing units along
with a stated preference for the PUD as approved; and,
WHEREAS,the City Council reviewed the proposed PUD arnendment on October 7, 1997 and
adopted a motion to direct staff to prepare findings far denial of the amendment to the residential
planned unit development.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT R.ESOLVED,the City Council of the City of Rosemount hereby
denies the amendment for a change in housing types within the approved Geronime Pond
residential pianned unit development based upon findings of fact:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The subject property has been included in an approved residential planned unit
development and preliminary plat involving twin home and single family detached
development.
2. The approved planned unit development and preliminary plat including twin homes was
acceptable because of the relative lazge size of the twin home atta.ched dwellings and the
anticipated minimum separation between buildings of twenty feet.
3. The proposed housing is inconsistent with the planned unit development and preliminary
plat. The proposed amendment for detached townhomes would have building segarations
of as little as thirteen feet. The Developer offered to revise the plan to allow for fifteen
feet of sepazation between individual units,but also stated an unwillingness to eliminate
� ;.
any dwelling units or lower density. Modifications to the preliminary plat and additional
variances will be needed to achieve the proposed density of development with the fifteen
feet of separation between each dwelling unit.
ADOPTED this 4th da.y of November, 1997 by the City Council of-the City of Rosemount.
