Dan Jochum, City Planner addressed the Commission and gave a brief overview of the project. Mr. Jochum then covered the staff report. Chairman Lofdahl commented on the setbacks and that the building would fit the parcel. There was discussion regarding setbacks from residential property. Roland Ebent, 472 Hwy 7 E, concerned that some of the soil borings that were taken were not on the actual parcel in question, so does the City have different plans for the easement area? Wondering what the setbacks are for the zoning, He noticed that there are large overhead doors on the building and he is not sure what the access in needed for those doors? Concerned about water shed as there are currently some issues and wondering if any storm sewer would be added. Mr. Jochum noted that 1 acre of development would need to be added in order to add stormwater. The City may be looking at some ponding in the area in the future. City Staff does not feel that what is planned for the future use of the area will create an added issue to the area. Mr. Jochum also noted that the soil borings are taken from the “area” to see what is out in the general area. The applicant will need to bring in fill for the building and needs to see what is currently on site. Mr. Jochum noted that the setbacks are all met and that cross easements are also available for access if needed. Motion by Commissioner Hacker, Second by Commissioner Jansen to close the public hearing at 6:13 pm. Minutes Hutchinson Planning Commission September 20, 2022 Page 3 Motion by Commissioner Garberg to approve with 4 staff recommendations. Second by Commissioner Lofdahl. Item will be on City Council new businesson 09/27/2022 (this will require 2 readings). C. CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 154.142 (E) AND (F) REGARDING DOWNTOWN SIGNAGE REVIEW COMMITTEE AND MURALS. Dan Jochum, City Planner addressed the Commission and gave a brief overview of the amendment. Chairman Lofdahl asked if we need the definition of Mural. There was discussion. Motion by Commissioner Hacker, Second by Commissioner Sebestato close the public hearing at 6:24 pm. Motion by Commissioner Hacker to approve with staff recommendation. Second by Commissioner Jansen. Item will be on City Council new businesson 09/27/2022 (this will require 2 reading). D. CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE SECTIONS 154.064 AND 154.067 REGARDING MINIMUM LOT DIMENSION REQUIREMENTS. Dan Jochum, City Planner addressed the Commission and gave a brief overview of the amendment. Vice Chairman Hacker questioned why we don’t change the one-acre size requirement? Mr. Jochum noted the expense right now is the width of the project for Engineering fees. By having a shorter lot width, the parcel is financially easier to develop. If a lot is smaller than one acre than a variance can be granted if conditions are met. If needed in the future we could always change the ordinance to less than one acre. Motion by Commissioner Garberg, Second by Commissioner Jansen to close the public hearing at 6:31 pm. Motion by Commissioner Jansen to approve with staff recommendation. Second by Commissioner Garberg. Item will be on City Council new businesson 09/27/2022 (this item will require 2 readings). 5. NEW BUSINESS A. NONE 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. None.

The remainder of the property will be platted into an Outlot. The preliminary plat the City approved for this area was for the entire area of Block 2 Lots 2 and 3, however, the developer is only moving forward with the final plat for four lots at this time. The four lots proposed for final platting have utility services available off Bluejay Drive SW. Final Plat – Ravenwood South Planning Commission – 10-18-22 Page 2 GENERAL INFORMATION Existing Zoning: R-3 PD (Medium-High Density Residential District) Property Location: Block 2 Lot 3 Ravenwood Lot Size: ~12 Acres Existing Land Use: Vacant Adjacent Land Use And Zoning: R-2 (Medium Density Residential District), R-3 (Medium-High Density Residential District), R-3 PD (Medium-High Density Planned Development Residential District) Comprehensive Land Use Plan: Medium Density Residential Neighborhood Zoning History: Originally platted as Ravenwood 11/16/1999 in the R-3 Zoning District. Applicable Regulations: City Code of Ordinances Sections 153.50 – 153.51 Transportation: The lots will be accessed off Bluejay Dr. SW. Physical Characteristics: This area of the development is adjacent to Bluejay Dr. SW and was pre-graded with the original development to accommodate housing. Analysis: The final plat as presented appear to meet the requirements of the subdivision and zoning ordinances. The minimum lot area for this district (R-3) is 5,000 square feet, of which these lots will meet. For twin homes, of which these will be, the minimum lot width is 40 feet per side or 80 feet total per twin home building. All of the lot sizes appear to be appropriate and consistent with the zoning ordinance. It should be noted that this Final Plat consists of four lots and an Outlot (Outlot A). As Outlot A is further developed it will need to conform to the Preliminary Plat the City approved in June of 2022. The developer is starting with the four lots that already have sewer and water connection and street access available. Utilities will be located in the front yard of the proposed lots within the street. Storm sewer lines are in place and the drainage flows to the existing stormwater pond to the southwest. The attached construction plans show all of the details related to utilities (please only refer to construction plans for the proposed 4 lots). Driveways and access will be off Bluejay Dr. SW. Lastly, it is important to note that Zone A of the Airport Zoning District touches lot 1. No portion of any building may be within Airport Zone A, including roof overhangs. The line of Airport Zone A should be staked during construction to ensure nothing is built within this area. Final Plat Review Criteria After the submittal of the final plat, the Planning Commission shall recommend approval or disapproval of the plat. Failure of the Planning Commission to act upon the final plat shall be deemed a recommendation of approval Final Plat – Ravenwood South Planning Commission – 10-18-22 Page 3 of the plat.

A plat shall not be recommended for approval unless it: (a) Conforms to the preliminary plat; (b) Conforms to the design standards set forth in this chapter; (c) Conforms to the adopted Comprehensive Plan; and (d) Is in accordance with all requirements and laws of this state.
