COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 3 Application Rezoning 6903 B. The central portion of this site contains the Tributary to Six Mile Creek. Except for the far south easterly corner of the site , there is no flood plain or wetland. Areas within 300 feet of the creek are covered by the Shoreland Wetland Ordinance. The preliminary plat shows the creek area as part of a large Outlot area which would be owned by the Homeowners Association. Perhaps 60% of the area has been cropped in the past. C. One of the issues stated by the RPC staff in their comments to the Town was the lack of additional access to the project. Currently the site can only be accessed by Cobblestone Lane coming out of Carriage Ridge. Therefore, the site is proposed as a functional extension of an already long dead end street system. This situation will remain until development takes place on the adjoining property or some other access is made to the project. The preliminary plat does contemplate connections to the west and north eventually but not to the south. The lots are generally in the mid - 30,000 sq ft size which is similar to the Carriage Ridge plat adjacent to the property. The substantial outlots which include the drainage areas will be owned by the homeowners association as are the easements which largely run along the back of the lots and function as a bridal path as was also the case in the first addition. D. The Westport Planning Commission has met and approved the rezoning subject to several proposals. The Town Board is scheduled to meet on this matter on May 5th. E. See the copy of the preliminary plat and revised map of the area with USA current boundaries, Village boundaries, and boundary agreement location. III Conclusions Since an amendment to the Town/County plan will require a 60 day review prior to a public hearing, there appears to be little reason to rush action on the proposed project. Presumably, the RPC can take up these items while the 60 day review period is proceeding. Upon completion of these reviews, any additional issues relative to the project should have become evident. Applicants appear aware of these process matters. REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 6903. This proposed residential rezoning for a 40-lot plat appears premature.This site is not in the urban service area and not designated for development on the adopted town/county plan in the Town of Westport. There have been preliminary staff discussions with Westport staff about a plan amendment and request for adding this area to the central urban service area.However,to date there has been no official request from the Town of Westport for the Regional Planning Commission to schedule a public hearing and consider the requests. The plan amendment would also need to go through a 60-day review period,recommendation by the ZNR Committee and approval of the County Board before it would become part of the county plan.
