i 11. The applicant has not indicated whether there will be any exterior lighting in the IN, development, and if so, where that lighting will be placed and what that lighting will look like. 12. There are no significant historic features located on the site. There is a bluff and steep slopes leading down to the waterfront,but the proposed structures would be located outside of this area. The property is otherwise wooded and contains no other significant natural features. 13. The applicant has not yet submitted any plans for stormwater management for the proposed development. 14. The applicant has indicated an erosion control plan that includes stabilization plans for disturbed ground, silt fencing areas, and vegetation maintenance. 4 On the Suitability for a Planned Unit Development 1. The proposed development is located on Sibley Lake, a General Development lake with high levels of recreational use in the summer months and a highly developed shoreline. The applicant has indicated plans for seven continuous mooring slips to be included with the development. Due to the previous use of the property being recreational campground the proposed use is unlikely to generate an increase in boat traffic or surface water usage. 2. The proposed development will place all structures outside of the bluff-impact zone of 20 feet from top of bluff. The applicant also proposes to preserve 10.94 acres of open space which should reduce the physical and aesthetic impacts of the increased density on the property. 3. The land is suitable for development without significant alterations to accommodate the construction associated with the proposed development. No delineated wetlands exist on the proposed development site. 4. Much of the shoreline properties along the Pequot Lakes portion of the Sibley Lake shoreline have been platted and many of those properties have been developed. In the immediate vicinity of the subject property, the proposed development would unlikely conflict with the character of adjacent properties. 5. Most undeveloped land exists to the north of the proposed development. This land is platted, however remains undeveloped with the exception of a few homes. Properties to the east and west of the proposed development are developed with single-family homes each located on roughly 2-acre lots. 6. This property measures 15.34 acres and has approximately 475 feet of shoreline. 4 On the Density Calculations for a Planned Unit Development 1. The development propos es three tiers of development from Sibley Lake.

A vegetative buffer of at least 50 feet is proposed along the entire PUD site area. There are no units or impervious surfaces proposed within this buffer. The applicant has not indicated the type of vegetation within the buffer area other than what currently exists on the property. 2. The applicant proposes to preserve 71% of the property as open space, exceeding the 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 Baxter, MN 56425 (218) 828-3064 www.communitygrowth.com
