PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Revised Preliminary Plat for Riverstone; Case of Capstone Homes

The purpose of this case is to consider a revised Preliminary Plat for Riverstone, a 293 lot residential subdivision. Primarily, the intent of this revision is to satisfy contingencies of original Preliminary Plat approval. Of note, plans for pedestrian crossings at Alpine Drive are included. Secondarily, the Developer (Capstone Homes) desires to slightly revise lot widths on two (2) blocks to slightly widen lots, resulting in the net reduction of approximately two (2) lots. Overall, the project is significantly the same as originally approved. Finally, the Developer proposes a slight modification to topsoil standards to address stormwater and drainage.

Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property. The Public Hearing was also published in the Anoka County UnionHerald.

Specific details are included in the Staff Review Letter.

All costs associated with processing the request are the responsibility of the Applicant. There are no City funds associated with this current request (it is noted that the City previously participated in the cost of upgrading infrastructure for Puma Street to facilitate this and other adjacent projects).

Staff recommends approval of the revised Preliminary Plat.

Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the revised Preliminary Plat.
