BALD EAGLE BUILDERS, INC. (CASE FILE NO. 16-0009/LSJ) The report to the Planning Commission was presented by Lori Johnson, Associate Planner. The public hearing for Case File 16-0009 was opened at 7:22 p.m. Lynn Mokita, 1714 119th Avenue NE, expressed concern with how the wetlands would be impacted on the proposed property. Project Coordinator, Tom Scott reported wetland are protected to a certain size. He explained the developer was working with the watershed district on this issue. City of Blaine Page 8 Planning Commission Minutes - Final March 8, 2016 Ms. Mokita was concerned that the new homes would not align with the values and quality of the homes presently in the neighborhood. She believed that four homes on each side of the street was too dense. She feared the new development would adversely impact her property value. She requested the developer provide high quality homes. Maria Aranda, 1698 119th Avenue NE, opposed the proposed development as it did not keep with the look and feel of the surrounding homes. While she understood the area would develop at some point in the future, she feared the proposed homes would eliminate all existing wildlife due to the proposed density. She indicated she moved from an urban setting to Blaine to have a larger lot with trees and wildlife. She wanted to see the destruction of the wildlife and trees minimized. She requested the City require the developer to keep the same look and character in the new development, as was found in the surrounding neighborhood. Steve Mokita, 1714 119th Avenue NE, thanked the City for inviting the public to the meeting, but felt that the City was telling the residents what was going to happen instead of asking for input. He expressed concern with the speed of traffic in his neighborhood and requesting calming measures be pursued. Commissioner York reported he also lived in this neighborhood and had the same concerns with speeding traffic. He indicated he has had some of the same discussions with the City regarding additional traffic control measures. He commented the police has been increasing patrols. Assistant City Engineer, Dan Schluender discussed how the City placed stop signs throughout the community. He explained that if proper warrants were not met, stop signs could not be installed. He stated unfortunately four out of five times, the individuals speeding through the neighborhood were the neighbors. Stacy Gerrety, 11872 Isanti Street NE, stated the back of her property overlooked this wooded area. She did not believe the proposed development fit with the intent and character of the surrounding neighborhood. She indicated she moved to the Olympic Glen neighborhood in 1999. She understood this parcel would develop but was disheartened by the amount of trees that would be removed. She was disappointed that the developer was proposing eight lots when this did not fit with the surrounding properties. She feared how the wildlife and wetlands would be impacted by the proposed development. She reviewed the size of the lots surrounding this parcel. She recommended the developer reconsider his development and reduce the number of lots to four or six. City of Blaine Page 9 Planning Commission Minutes - Final March 8, 2016 Associate Planner, Lori Johnson explained the developer would be custom grading the lots, this would greatly reduce the number of trees lost on the project. Ms. Aranda asked if an environmental impact study had to be completed for this project. Assistant City Engineer, Dan Schluender reported a project of this size does not require an environmental impact study. Project Coordinator, Tom Scott explained residents could petition for a study, however, this project did not meet any of the minimum requirements. Julian Aranda, 1698 119th Ave NE, understood a small area was being developed and because of this, he recommended that eight homes not be built. He stated one of the selling points when he purchased his home was the number of trees in his neighborhood. He indicated he would be greatly disappointed if eight homes were developed on the proposed property. He urged the City to reduce the number of homes within the development. Shannon Gerrety, 11872 Isanti Street NE, encouraged the City to hear the concerns of the residents. He explained he moved to his neighborhood specifically because of the trees, wildlife and lot sizes. He discussed how quickly the homes around him were selling. He encouraged the City to keep the proposed development in closer alignment with the existing properties. He feared the integrity of his neighborhood would be negatively impacted if eight homes were to be dropped onto the proposed parcel. He understood the property would develop but requested the lot sizes more closely align with the surrounding properties. Ann Hoemberg, property owner of 1749 118th Avenue NE, stated she was both sad and confused at this time. She indicated she was not just out to make money on the development. She explained she purchased this property in 2003 and also loves the trees and wildlife in the area. She reported her husband passed away four years ago and was no longer able to keep up with the property. She believed she had the right to sell and develop the property. The public hearing was closed at 7:46 p.m. Commissioner York asked if the area had always been zoned Farm Residential. Associate Planner, Lori Johnson reported this was the case. It was noted that the new lots met all R-1A zoning requirements. Commissioner York questioned if the City could require a developer to have City of Blaine Page 10 Planning Commission Minutes - Final March 8, 2016 larger sized lots. Associate Planner, Lori Johnson stated the City could not make this requirement based on the Zoning. She advised that the applicant submitted plans that met the City zoning code requirements. Commissioner Goracke appreciated all of the comments provided by the residents. He explained he lived in this neighborhood for 22 years and just moved last May. He understood the tension in this neighborhood given the fact the area continued to develop and change. He also understood the desire of the applicant to develop her property. Chair Ouellette discussed the proposed lot sizes and believed they were pretty close to the surrounding neighborhoods. He reiterated that all R-1A Single Family zoning requirements were being met. Commissioner Ponds inquired what the price range would be for the new homes. Grant Johnson, ReMax, estimated the homes would be sold for $450,000 to $700,000. Commissioner York questioned how much smaller these lots were when compared to the adjacent neighborhood. Mr. Johnson reported the new lots would be approximately five feet smaller in width and were over one-half acre per lot. Commissioner York requested further information on how the lots would be graded. Mr. Johnson explained that each lot would be custom graded to assist with tree preservation. He stated only trees on the actual building pad would be removed. Associate Planner, Lori Johnson reported the proposed lots sizes were bigger than what was required within the R-1A zoning requirements. She stated originally the developer had proposed 12 lots on this parcel with a cul-de-sac. This proposal did not meet the character and intent of the neighborhood and was reduced to eight lots. Commissioner Ponds asked if the developer had any predictions on how the wetlands would be impacted. Mr. Johnson did not have anything final from the watershed district. However, he believed there was enough room to build a home in front of the City of Blaine Page 11 Planning Commission Minutes - Final March 8, 2016 wetland. Commissioner York understood the neighbor’s wanted trees to be preserved and he was pleased the developer was offering custom grading for each lot. Commissioner Bergstrom was pleased the developer did not pursue the cul-de-sac design for this neighborhood. Commissioner Olson saw the value of having larger lots and believed this was a unique neighborhood in Blaine. For this reason, she supported there being only six lots on this parcel. Commissioner Homan stated even if the Commission wanted to push for larger lot sizes, the City had no standing because the developer was already meeting all R-1A zoning requirements. Associate Planner, Lori Johnson reported this was the case. She explained if the Planning Commission were to make pursue this further, the City could be opened up to a lawsuit. Commissioner Olson questioned if the neighbors could provide feedback at the upcoming City Council meeting. Associate Planner, Lori Johnson indicated there would be no public hearing at the Council meeting and comments would only be taken at the Mayor’s discretion. She encouraged the neighbors to contact their City Council representative with their comments or concerns. Chair Ouellette encouraged the neighbors to speak with the developer further regarding the high quality homes that would be constructed. Motion by Commissioner York to recommend approval of Planning Case 16-0009A a Rezoning from FR (Farm Residential) to R-1A (Single Family) at 1749 118th Avenue NE based on the following rationale: Case 16-0009A: 1. A rezoning is required because the current zoning of FR (Farm Residential) does not allow for smaller lot sizes when sewer and water will serve the property. 2. The R-1A zoning district is consistent with surrounding properties to the north, east and west of this property so any proposed homes will be in character with the surrounding neighborhood. 3. The R-1A zoning is consistent with the City’s land use designation for this area of LDR (Low Density Residential). Motion by Commissioner York to recommend approval of Planning Case 16-0009B a Preliminary Plat to subdivide 4.6 acres into eight (8) single family City of Blaine Page 12 Planning Commission Minutes - Final March 8, 2016 lots to be known as Hideaway of Blaine at 1749 118th Avenue NE based on the following conditions: Case 16-0009B: 1. Park dedication will be required for the 8 new lots being proposed within the plat. The City’s current park dedication rate for single family lots is $3,744 per unit. A total park dedication fee of $29,952 would become due prior to final plat mylars being released to the developer for recording at Anoka County. 2. Developer to obtain a permit from Coon Creek Watershed District prior to any site work. Developer to analysis location and sizes of infiltration basins. 3. Homeowners shall be required to maintain infiltration basins. 4. Additional information is required to determine lowest floor elevations. 5.
