The Buckbees proposing to sell their property and <br />the purchaser is interested in developing the property as an R-2. This zoning designation <br />allows for the construction of single family, detached dwellings and single family, . < <br />attached dwellings, with two units. The intent is to develop this property into a mixed <br />residential project, incorporating single family housing with twin home-style housing, <br />similar to the Eagle Pass project. To get the densities that they need, they may also <br />request that this property, once the rezoning is approved, be developed under a POD. <br /> <br />The developer understands that it will be their responsibility to extend water and sewer to <br />this property. In researching the rezoning request, the Staff found that the Buckbee <br />property is eligible for inclusion in the City's MUSA according to the City's . <br />Comprehensive Plan. . <br /> <br />Road easements currently exist to the property. One is already named as the Peltier <br />Circle and the other easement is unnamed, but platted and recorded with Anoka County. <br /> <br />The City received a letter from St. Paul Water Utilities advising that the northern portion <br />of the Buckbee property adjacent to Clearwater Creek has recorded restrictions. This <br />portion was purchased by the Buckbees from S1. Paul Water Utility and at the time of <br />sale, the Buckbees agreed to leave this land structure free. This land is intended to be <br />continued as a wetland. <br /> <br />In checking with the City Attorney about this restrictive covenant, Mr. Hoeft agreed that <br />the land has to remain structure-free but the restriction will not prevent the Buckbee <br />property from being rezoned. <br />
