PLANNING FILE 15-010 170 Request by Art Mueller for approval of a PRELIMINARY PLAT of property 171 addressed as 2201 Acorn Road 172 Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for Planning File 15-010 at 6:28 p.m. 173 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd briefly reviewed the request as detailed in the staff report 174 dated September 2, 2015; and displayed the proposed site plan (Attachment A) 175 subdividing the property into four lots with a private street off Acorn Road. Mr. Lloyd 176 reviewed the history of this subdivision and various proposals over the years, as detailed 177 in the staff report, and denial of previous proposals for one reason or another; with one 178 proposal approved in the past, but due to the documents not being recorded with 179 Ramsey County before deadline, that approval had expired. 180 Mr. Lloyd noted that the 2014 plat similar to this submittal had been denied by the City 181 Council for the reasons noted in the staff report, after which Mr. Mueller had met with the 182 City Council with a sketch plan addressing the City Council’s expressed concerns and in 183 order to receive their feedback at that time based on the previous denial and prior to 184 making this application, which had attempted to satisfy those deficiencies as seen by the 185 City Council and changes proposed accordingly. 186 As detailed in the staff report, Mr. Lloyd reviewed the various components of this latest 187 proposal as it related to a 32’ wide private street with parking on both sides; four 188 proposed lots that met or exceeded relevant requirements for corner and/or internal 189 parcels; and subdivision code requirements for easements for stormwater drainage and 190 utilities. Mr. Lloyd advised that elements of the proposed Preliminary Plat included 191 engineering items with street width, location and lot sizes, as well as addressing 192 stormwater management for the proposed development, and displayed a topographical 193 map with drainage basins highlighted and attempting to consolidate stormwater more 194 locally on the property and directing it to larger basins. 195 Mr. Lloyd addressed the tree preservation requirements as part of the Preliminary Plat to 196 avoid damage or removal as part of grading and/or stormwater management on the site, 197 resulting in a tree inventory list for review by the City’s consultant arborist as part of the 198 City’s plan review and calculations for required replacement in accordance with current 199
