| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:

| | | | | | | | Recommendation:

| | | | | | | | Discussion:
D.R. Horton, Inc. - Minnesota has made application for Preliminary Plat of Windermere South 5th Addition. The subject property is approximately 72.5 acres, and is located north of CSAH 78, west of Zumbro Avenue, and east of CR 69/Old Brick Yard Road.
The applicant has proposed a plat that would consist of 101 single-family residential lots and an outlot for future residential construction. The proposed lots would be accessible off Zumbro Avenue and CSAH 78. The development is well within the requirements of the single-family residential guiding and the R-1B zoning. This subdivision will look generally similar to the other D.R. Horton projects in this area (house designs, setbacks, etc.). There is proposed a substantial stormwater pond that partially encroaches on Shakopee Public Utilities water tank site to the north of this development, which has been agreed to by both parties. There will be a significant landscape buffer proposed in the rear yards of the proposed neighborhood along Zumbro Avenue and CSAH 78.
The proposed access off CSAH 78 will be a new right in/right out intersection.
The developer will work with the City and County on the design of this access, as well as development of a trail along CSAH 78.
City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. City Engineering, Scott County, and SPUC support the request, provided the proposed plat complies with the conditions noted in their memos (attached to this report). Conditions noted in those memos will be incorporated into a draft resolution for the City Council’s consideration at their May 18, 2021 meeting.
