Request:
Revised master plan for all remaining vacant, unplatted land in Parkwood Knolls
Mr. Larsen informed the Commission in December 1994, the City Council
approved a master development plan for all remaining vacant land in Parkwood
Knolls. The approved plan contained 91 lots and comprised 53 acres. Since
the master plan was approved, the proponents have platted 49 of the lots for
development. The proponents have now submitted a revised master plan for the
balance of the property.
Mr. Larsen explained the unplatted area is approximately 41 acres and
contains 49 lots in the master plan. The proponents are proposing a revision to
the master, which reduces the number of lots from 49 to 48. The plan alters the
street layout. Kelsey Terrace ran north south along the eastern portion of the
site in the old plan. In the new plan Kelsey angles toward the center of the site
and runs southeast to connect to the existing street. The other significant
change is the removal of the connection between Ridge Trail (Cougar Trail on
the old plan) and Malibu Drive. The grading plan shows the elimination of five
small wetland areas, and the enlargement of two other wetlands. The watershed
district is currently reviewing the plan.
Mr. Larsen concluded staff recommends approval of the revised master
plan. The new plan is slightly less dense than the earlier plan. The change in
alignment of Kelsey will likely reduce speed on the street because it will not be a
straight shot. The wetland review by the Watershed District may impact the
number of lots. One or two lots could be lost. Approval is conditioned on:
1. Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Permit
2. Army Corp of Engineers
The proponent, Mr. Carl Hansen Jr. was present to respond to questions.
Commissioner Byron informed the Commission he will abstain from the
vote.
After a brief discussion Commissioner Lonsbury moved to recommend
preliminary plat approval subject to staff conditions. Commissioner McClelland
seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 7 to 0 with one abstention.
