Background/Discussion
Case No. CR 19-05
The applicant, Prime Investment Group, is requesting feedback
regarding a rezoning of 11.67 acres of the 24-acre subject parcel
(Wapiti Campground) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a
41-lot subdivision. The proposed lots would be 50’ wide (65’ for
corner lots) and 160’ deep. The existing zoning (R-1c) requires 80’
wide lots (100’ for corner lots).
The city has approved numerous small lot subdivisions in the past -
West Oaks, Kliever Lake Fields, Tall Pines, and Miske Meadows.
Staff would work with the developer to address potential concerns
through setback, façade, and landscaping standards if the council is
in favor of the current proposal.
The proposal provides right-of-way running north/south through
the development to Camp Cozy. They are also proposing a right-of-
th
way connection to the east, aligning with the existing 186 Avenue
connection in the Riverplace subdivision. City utilities would also be
extended to the north end of the subdivision, in close proximity to
the main building for Wapiti Campground, which is required to be
connected to city services prior to re-opening.
Environmental
The wetland delineation for this project site was submitted on October 1, 2019, and will be reviewed later
in October. The report indicates that no wetlands were identified within the project area but this will need
to be evaluated by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). A formal Wetland Conservation Act (WCA)
Notice of Decision (NOD) will be required before the boundaries will be considered finalized.
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity
The majority of the site is also within the Shoreland Management District, which limits total hardcover to
25% maximum for the site. This may also need to be reviewed by DNR staff if the proposed plans do not
meet those requirements. It appears approximately 15 lots are within this area on the northern portion of
the project area. Additionally, there may be some floodplain areas on the project area.
