| | | | | | | | Discussion:
D.R. Horton, Inc. - Minnesota has made application for Final Plat of Windermere South 5th Addition. The subject property is approximately 39 acres, and is located north of CSAH 78 and west of Zumbro Avenue.
The applicant has proposed a final plat that would consist of 57 single-family residential lots and an outlot for future residential construction. The proposed lots would be accessible off Zumbro Avenue. 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 the 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 outlot was part of the approved Preliminary Plat, and will provide additional residential lots and a future access off CSAH 78 as a new right in/right out intersection in a future phase of development.
City departments, Scott County, SPU 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 meeting.
