FINDINGS & DECISION
PUD-CUP/Preliminary Plat
APPLICATION: Request for approval of a PUD-CUP and preliminary plat for a subdivision to be known as
Hunter Hills.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: 13 July 2020
FINDINGS: Based upon review of the application and evidence received, the Otsego City Council now makes
the following findings of fact:
A. The legal description of the property is attached as Exhibit A.
The property lies within the West Sewer District and is guided for low density residential uses by the
2012 Otsego Comprehensive Plan, as amended.
C. The property is zoned R-5, Single and Two Family Residential District.
D. The preliminary plat consists of single family and single family villa lots that are a permitted use within
the R-5 District; the developer has requested approval of a PUD-CUP concurrent with the preliminary
plat related to lot requirements.
E. The Planning Commission and City Council must take into consideration the possible effects of the
request with their judgment based upon (but not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 11-4-2.F of
the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: The Future Land Use Plan of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for
low density residential uses south of future 85`h Street and low density residential uses (Large
Lot) north of future 85`h Street. Low density residential uses are defined by the 2012
Comprehensive Plan as single family development with a net density of 3.0 dwelling units per
acre or less. The single family and single family villa lots shown on the preliminary plat are
consistent with the 2012 Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: The subject site is surrounded by the existing and planned uses shown in the table
below. The character of the proposed development is similar to development of Arbor Creek
to the south of 80`h Street consistent with the Future Land Use Plan. The proposed
development will also be compatible with existing rural residential single family dwellings in
the area. The Zoning Ordinance provides for a reciprocal setback from the registered feedlot
for any new residential dwelling from farm animal buildings to minimize issues.
