PUBLIC HEARING: Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary & Final Plat for Elliana Estates Commissioner Robbins made the motion to open the public hearing, seconded by Commissioner Ranua. Passed unanimously. Staff presented the rezoning and preliminary plat. Staff have worked with the developer and its engineer for a two -cul-de-sac development with a through road in the middle. They are preserving many of the large trees and a wetland. Trails will connect to CH 83 and to the adjacent city trail in the subdivision. The developer cannot meet the tree preplacement requirements on site and will be paying into the tree fund for any additional caliper inches that can't meet on site. Rick Osberg from James R Hill Engineering presented, representing the development and 1010 Homes. It was a very difficult project to try and preserve trees and to also preserve the wetlands. They also have to meet the three -unit density requirement set by the Met Council. Received all the city comments and resubmitted to meet all the comments. 590 inventory trees, 6300 caliper inches. 45% were damaged or ash trees or those not included as desirable. Commissioner Robbins asked the developer what homes ales prices would be. The developer responded that they are building in Whispering Waters. They would be similar in price, $750,000-$900,000. He is working on building a model first but would have people moving in 2026 and hopefully sold out in 2027/2028. Commissioner Ranua asked if they could remove one lot to save more trees and staff responded that they were right on the line for the minimum density of 3 DUA. 3 Valleycrest neighbor north of lot A was worried about tree removal for the drainage basin. Currently, showing trees in the drainage and utility easement. Engineer said they could move some of the trees back closer to the homes but can't put them in the drainage basin. Just north of Oulot A and see if trees could be placed along the trail area. Where would construction traffic come in? Staff said they would come through Thrush since they can't access off of Mytic Lake but once construction starts that will be closed off. Possibly use Mystic Lake for removal of access. Ranua asked if lots could be adjusted for tree placement. Commissioner Sepulvado asked about the neighborhood meeting. Two families attended and supported the project. Propel 500 feet from the property line were invited. Commissioner Robbins said he was gratified to hear about all the efforts made to make this a good project and saving as many trees. Homes look wonderful. First motion, amending the zoning map by Robbin to recommend to the city council the Ordinance rezoning from AG to Urban Residential R1 B. Commissioner Ranua seconded.
