Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 : UU L-- l ] ;../ Dear Ms. Kansier: The City Council annexed the Schiltz and Schneider properties in June 2003 and approved the Comprehensive Plan to Low to Medium Density Residential (R-L/MD) in September 2003. Currently this property is not zoned. Weare requesting an amendment to the City Zoning Map (see attached application materials) to an R-I designation. This is consistent with the adjacent property and with the Comprehensive Plan for the area. We would like to develop the property for single-family residential use and possible town- home mix keeping under the density requirements set forth in City Code and the OA area. This site consists ofa total of approximately 35.6877 acres of unplatted land. There are two separate parcels of land involved and one parcel is occupied by a homestead. The site is quite flat and the area has been used as cropland and pasture. Much of the northerly edge abuts a wetland. Most of the property is in the shore land area. Access to the site is from County Road 17 and through the Stemmer property to the east which will be developed simultaneous to this project. Sewer and water services will then be made available to this site upon completion of the Stemmer property . We propose to grade this site in the fall of 2004 and complete utilities and streets in Spring of 2005. This will be our connection for a future master planning project on the west side of County Road 17. This will be a quality development that meets City Code requirements and will respect the goals/objectives of the City as it relates to the surrounding natural environment and its land uses. Please consider our request for an Amendment to Zoning Map for an R-I designation. If you should have any questions, please contact me.
