18. As part of the final plat application, common space shall be rezoned to allow for resort operation but to limit future subdivision of the common space. 3. Preliminary Plat of Wilderness Resort,Wilderness Resort Villas, LLC. Wilderness Resort proposes to subdivide their parcel into 45 parcels and one association owned parcel for common use on 32.3 acres.. Their preliminary plat application is the mechanism to subdivide the property based on the criteria set out in the conditional use application for a planned unit development. Approval of the preliminary plat application is contingent upon approval of the conditional use permit for a planned unit development. A planned unit development(PUD)must meet all setback requirements of the underlying zone; however, a PUD is more flexible in where structures are allowed and the concentration of structures. The Planning Commission recommends that you approve the Preliminary Plat of Wilderness Resort based off of the following findings of fact: 1. The property is zoned waterfront commercial. 2. The plat creates 45 commercial units plus the one remnant lot. 3. As a PUD, lot size dimensions are not factored in. Instead, overall density and density by tier is considered. This proposal meets the required density, which was considered under the PUD application. 4. No lots will require a variance for development based on the conditions of the PUD approval. 5. The land is suitable for development without significant alteration. 6. The proposed subdivision includes several private roads. These roads would be maintained by the Resort Association. 7. The properties will be served by a clustered sewage treatment system. The treatment site is shown on the survey. The drainfield at the tip of the peninsula will be removed. 8. The lot lines are at standard angles and contain no unwarranted jogs or bends. 9. There are no significant historical sites indicated on the survey. 10. There is no indication that this development, with vigorous conditions instituted as part of the PUD process, will harm the health, safety, or welfare of the community. 11. The property is zoned waterfront commercial. 12. Access to the property is off of adjacent public roadway. 13. The internal streets are privately owned and maintained. 14. No easements for utilities are required. 15. Stormwater retention ponds are indicated on the survey. A complete stormwater management plan is to be reviewed as part of the Planned Unit Development process. 16. An erosion control plan is to be reviewed as part of the Planned Unit Development process. 217 South 7th Street, Suite 114 8 Brainerd, MN 56401 (218) 828-3064 www.communitygrowth.com
