General Business 8.01) Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Variance for"Elm Creek Meadows"for Property located at 16910, 17010, and 17210 County Road 47 (The Jarvis Company—2016014) Senior Planner Drill reported on the application. The plan includes 59 townhome lots and the minimum side yard setback regulation would be met or exceeded. The proposed density of 3.7 units per acre would remain within the allowable density range of between three and six units per acre. Senior Planner Drill and Park and Recreation Director Evans provided the following comments in response to questions raised by the Council: The retaining walls within the development range from two feet to nine feet in height. The highest wall is located along the wetland and is nine feet in height and between 200 and 250 feet long. Boulders will be used for the retaining wall. Currently, there will only be a trail on one side of County Road 47. An easement will be in place so that when the road is reconstructed, a trail will also go in on the other side. There are just a few units along the curves in the development that require the variance for a 25-foot setback instead of the 20-foot setback. The units could not be pushed back any further because they would encroach on the backyard buffer setback with the attached decks. In reference to the park, the developer is providing one acre of land and over$200,000 in park dedication fees. This park is placed in the corner so that when the land next to it is developed, additional land will be acquired from that property owner in order that an appropriate sized park can be continued on to the new parcel. There will be access off County Road 47 with the construction of a new road. Ash trees are not eliminated from the count of trees in the development. If they are eliminated because they are considered a disease prone tree, then many other types of trees would also need to be eliminated because they are disease prone as well. Peter Jarvis, applicant, clarified other details of the development: Adopted Minutes Page 3 of 5 Regular Meeting of June 14, 2016 The variance request is for the units that have a side load garage. The 25-foot setback will be maintained for all garages that face the street. The developer will be giving 1.05 acres of land and$266,000 to the City for the park dedication fee. The retaining wall is made up of a variety of sizes of boulders. The townhomes consist of two and three unit, one-level walkouts, not row houses. Steve Schwieters with Wooddale Builders, provided renderings of the design options. Motion was made by Councilmember Wosje, and seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt an Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to Classify Certain Land Located at 16910, 17010, and 17210 County Road 47 (2016014—Res2016-18), Resolution Approving Findings of Fact for the Rezoning of Land located at 16910, 17010, and 17210 County Road 47 (2016014— Res2016-201), Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat and Variance for The Jarvis Company for"Elm Creek Meadows" for Property located at 16910, 17010, and 17210 County Road 47 with an amendment to condition No. 3 to state, "a variance is approved to allow front yard setbacks of 20 feet for units with a side-loaded garage, where 25 feet is specified, with the finding that the applicable variance standards would be met" (2016014—Res2016-202), and a Resolution Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 2016-18 (2016014—Res2016- 203). The suggestion was made to accept park dedication funds in lieu of parkland and eliminate the mini-park in this development and relocate the park to the parcel to the east. Motion was made by Councilmember Beard, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to amend the main motion to eliminate the mini-park in this development as proposed. With Willis and Beard voting yes, and Slavik, Carroll, Wosje and Prom voting no, the motion failed. Motion was made by Councilmember Wosje, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to amend the main motion to amend condition No. 11 of the Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat and Variance to state, "the required safety fence to be installed at the top of the retaining walls shall be a minimum of four feet in height, instead of three feet in height." With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
