PLANNING
Plan Reviewer: Jean E. Dolan, AICP, CFM
Status: Resubmittal Required
1. Planning and Zoning is not the agency that will sign off on the lake expansion proposal. Please engage with engineering and utilities on that issue. The City is questioning why the project can’t provide their own lake on private property rather than encroaching on public property. Concerns about contamination of the City's lake due to connection to the project's stormwater system will need to be addressed.
2. The Applicant has committed to paying the in-lieu fee of $10,300 per unit (which escalates 3% annually on January 1st) for the affordable housing requirement per the LUPA which applies to 100% of the units in the development based on the fee at the time of building permit. This will be translated into a condition of approval on the site plan.
3. Both the 2 Future Wells and all underground infrastructure including the electrical and future raw water mains must be shown on the Site Plan with appropriate setbacks. As previously stated, the LUPA and Rezoning won’t be considered ready for hearings until Utilities generally approves the locations and protective measures for the above and below ground existing and future utilities particularly related to the City’s wellfield.
4. The rezoning will go to hearings when the LUPA Application is deemed complete and ready for hearings.
