July 10, 2018 Centerville City Council Page 3 of 9 Bay View Villas-Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Planned Unit Development,&Preliminary Plat a. Rezoning The applicant is requesting approval to rezone both parcels from B-1 and R-3 to R- 2A High Density Single Family District which allows a mix of residential uses up to 12 units/acre. The current R-3 zoning district would not allow the proposed single- family homes and the proposed density matches the requirements of the R-2A. b. Conditional Use Permit The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP for a Planned Unit Development. This is required so the project can meet use and density standards. c. Preliminary Plat The applicant is requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat for nineteen single-family residential properties. A new roadway would connect to Main Street at an intersection with Peltier Lake Drive to the north. The new roadway would end in a cul-de-sac in the western section of the property. d. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Once the development applications are approved, the City will need to file a Comprehensive Plan Amendment of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council on behalf of the developer. The amendment should request both parcels in the subject property be guided for Low Density Residential instead of the current Commercial and High Density Residential. 3) Shoreland provisions The property is subject to Section 156.133 of the zoning code because it is located within 100 feet of Centerville Lake and Peltier Lake. In particular, each lot is required to be a minimum of 15,000 square feet, not less than 100 feet in width, and locate buildings no closer than 75 feet from the ordinary high water level of the lake. Additionally, each parcel needs to conform to the shoreland standards for removal or alteration of vegetation, particularly limiting vegetation clearing within 50 feet of the ordinary high water line. The homes on the lots adjacent to Centerville Lake do not meet the 75-foot setback, minimum lot size, and minimum width. They average 50-60 feet from the ordinary high water line, are 10,000 square feet, and 62 feet wide. However, most other existing homes adjacent to the lake do not meet the 75-foot setback so this development would be in keeping with the shoreline's existing character. The preliminary plat indicates significant grading and elimination of most mature vegetation within 50 feet of Centerville Lake's ordinary high water line. Runoff directly to the lake is primarily from rooftops and yards (and not driveways), so this is better than if the street and driveways drained to the lake and may be acceptable to the watershed district, but the plan still does not meet the spirit and letter of the Shoreland standards. wiih r„ �?rnrnunii,/ in rri'in1
