RESIDENTIAL SKETCH PLAN REVIEW — SOUTHEAST CORNER OF PRAIRIE ROAD AND ANDOVER BOULEVARD Mr. Carlberg explained the applicant Mark Smith is requesting a review of a residential sketch plan for a 75 -lot single family urban residential development to include all of the outlined properties shown on the map included in the packet. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mr. Carlberg noted he received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Johnson who wanted to make the Council aware that they had concerns and wanted to make sure that they were considered in the design of this area for future road access. Mayor Gamache asked Mr. Berkowitz about how the road could be lined up with a possible future road. Mr. Berkowitz indicated they did look at this to determine what is the most reasonable connection point on the west side of the development. Staff's preference would be to have it as far away from the Prairie Road /Andover Boulevard intersection as possible. Mayor Gamache asked based on a staff review comment if there will be a private road within the development. Mr. Berkowitz indicated there is not and this is just standard verbiage provided on staff reviews. Mayor Gamache indicated review Item 11 is for a variance that may be required on the cul-de- sac on the south end of the sketch plan, he asked if there is a long cul -de -sac in Shadowbrook on the south side of the Coon Creek. He wondered if they had to have the same thing done. Mr. Carlberg indicated if anything exceeds 500 feet for a permanent cul -de -sac, a variance would be needed. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March S, 2013 Page 3 Councilmember Trade asked on the floodway issues if that is an Army Corp of Engineers responsibility or Coon Creek Watershed jurisdiction. Mr. Berkowitz noted the jurisdiction is through FEMA. Councilmember Trade wondered if people will need to buy flood insurance if they build a home in the flood fringe, even if it is filled flood fringe. Mr. Berkowitz stated a letter of map amendment from FEMA is typically required so once a developer or builder proves out through the grading plan before final construction of the home it can be proven that the property is outside of the flood plain. Councilmember Trade asked if staff could be looking at a different sketch plan or the preliminary plat could change based on the flood fringe. Mr. Berkowitz indicated that would be something the developer would have to decide. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed with the Council the process of determining flood elevations. Councilmember Trade asked if someone can clear cut the area or are there restrictions. Mr. Berkowitz read an FAQ from the DNR regarding flood ways. Councilmember Trade noted she lives on a long road and thought the small curve to the road and elevation changes in the sketch plan are calming and did not think the street would be a speed way. Mr. Mark Smith, Developer, 2120 Otter Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, appeared before the Council and offered to answer questions. Mayor Gamache asked why Mr. Smith changed the road from the original ghost plat to the sketch plan. Mr. Smith stated the first plans showed Hickory Meadows farther to the east and now that Hickory Meadows was developed, they needed to work with what is in place. Mayor Gamache asked if the area Mr. Smith initially had for a park could be used in the development. Mr. Smith indicated he can increase the size of the lots if the City did not want such a large park. Mayor Gamache wondered if a decision has been made regarding berming along Prairie Road and Andover Boulevard because he thought homeowners would still put up a fence regardless. Mr. Carlberg indicated nothing would prevent a resident from building a fence but when there are double frontage lots, there are specific placement requirements. He reviewed the requirements with the Council. © Councilmember Trade wondered if it was Mr. Smith's intent to keep as many of the natural features as he can on the property. Mr. Smith indicated it was and he would like to save as many trees as possible. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 5, 2013 Page 4 Councilmember Howard would like to see a shorter cul -de -sac because it will have a big impact on the floodway. Mayor Gamache indicated for the most part, he is happy with the layout because it is very similar to what was presented in 2006. Councilmember Trude appreciated Mr. Smith working to create some type of attractive back yard for the homeowners along with an attractive streetscape. She suggested when developing some of the deep lots, Mr. Smith look at doing some that are one hundred feet wide in order to allow a big spacious walkout rambler because Andover has an aging population.
