NorCor Properties, property owner, and Randy Kubes, applicant, have made application for Preliminary Plat of NORCOR FARM. The subject property is approximately 55.36 acres, and is located north of CSAH 16/17th Avenue, west of Windermere Way, and south of U.S. Hwy. 169.
The applicant has proposed a plat that would consist of 86 single-family residential lots on 32.56 acres and a 22.8 acre outlot that the city may purchase for future park/open space. The proposed lots would primarily be accessible off 17th Avenue, with the northern section tying into Windermere 2nd Addition and the southern section tying into Windermere South 4th Addition. The development is compliant with the requirements of the single-family residential guiding and the R-1B zoning. The developer has provided images of the proposed structures, of which there are several varieties with different design elements. There is proposed a substantial stormwater pond located just north of the trail along 17th Avenue, and another trail connection from lots along Linwood Circle to the east, with that trail proposed to run along the northerly area of this plat adjacent to the bluff, continuing along that bluff to the west, with this trail forming part of the greater greenway planned within this area of the community. The proposed accesses off CSAH 16/17th Avenue will be right in/right out only.
City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. The City has spent a considerable amount of time reviewing and discussion this rather complex development with the applicant/staff and requested additional information/modifications to the original submittal and we recently received revisions; however, City Engineering & Scott County are still requesting additional modifications/information which is necessary for them to be able to provide comments/conditions of the plat application. Based on this need for additional information, staff is recommending a continuance of the public hearing.
