Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, June 10, 1985 Page four Case No. 85-2, Ed~ewater Estates - Gerald McGuire Council was referred to Planning memo (5/30/85) and Planning Commission recom- mendations (minutes of meeting of 6/5/85). Miller reported that the Concept Plan of Edgewater Estates was approved in April, 1985; explained that the concept procedure is for the developer's benefit in determining issues related to land use, density and preliminary site design; explained that the applicant is now requesting General Plan and PUD permit approval of Phase I (8 single-family lots and the 37-unit apartment bUilding on Lot 14), Preliminary Plat approval of the entire Edgewater Estates site (including townhouse area) and Rezoning of Lot 14 from R-1 to R-3. Miller explained that the townhouses are proposed as Phase II and will also require rezoning from R-1 to R-3. In review of the Preliminary Plat, Miller explained that the existing house . will be removed; therefore, 8 lots, instead of 7 lots, are now proposed; noted that all lots meet or exceed the dimensional and area requirements, except Lot 6 which has an average depth of 125' (130' required). Miller said Lot 6 has an adequate building envelope, and is adjacent to a flowage easement which will remain as open space, so no problems are anticipated. Miller reported that the park land dedication is reduced by .88 acre from the approved concept plan; noted that the remainder of the park dedication will be in cash in lieu of land, which, according to Parks Director Buckley, is acceptable to the Parks Committee. Miller reported that the Planning Commission held the Public Hearing; the primary issues were: - Parkshore Drive extension. - Time of conversion from rental to condominiums. - Impact of USFWL easement on single family lots. Miller reported that the applicant desires to pursue vacation of a portion of the USFWL Service easement, as shown on the Preliminary Plat, which would be desirable, but USFWLS has said in the past they would not vacate, but would allow building on the easement above 890' elevation. Miller noted that the plan proposes a minimum basement elevation of 892.3. Miller reported that the densities meet those of the approved concept plan and were not an issue; reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Phase I General Plan, Preliminary Plat of the entire Edgewater Estates parcel and the rezoning of Lot 14, to R-3 from R-1; noted that the vote was 3 in favor, I opposed, 1 abstention. Miller listed the recommended contingencies of approval - Refined exterior lighting and landscape plan. - Recordable document allowing buildings on the flowage easement, to be recorded with the Final Plat. - Resolution of the Parkshore Drive right-of-way. - Reduction of length of Parkshore Drive to SOD', adding the remainder to the park land dedication. - City Engineer approval of water storage and drainage. - Resolution of park dedication. - Resolution of Fire Chief's request that garage area of apartment building be sprinklered. McGuire referred Council to a rendering of the building elevation, as seen ... from the east; noted that the building will be of high quality construction. In discussion, the size of the penthouse in relation to the building was queried. It was described to be about 10%; is recessed 10' - IS' from the front of the building and about 35' in width. It was noted that McGuire talked about a 4 - 5 year conversion time, at the time of Concept Plan consideration; asked McGuire's response to this. McGuire said it is 9till his plan; stated it was presented exactly this way from the begin- ning - "they will be converted when it is feasible - this is still my plan."
