Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) establishing a residential Planned Unit Development (PUD)
with the following conditions to satisfy the standards set forth in

1. A PUD agreement shall be approved by the City Council and

for any building within the project area.

Background/Discussion
The applicant has proposed a multi-family residential development
south of Kliever Lake Fields. The application includes a Zone Change
(ZC 22-05) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and a preliminary
plat (P 22-10) to create a detached townhome development consisting
of 43 lots.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Traditional Single-
Family Residential which predominately consists of single-family
detached homes occupying moderately sized lots. This land use, while predominately single-family detached,
should accommodate single-family attached and townhomes.
Site Plan
The 43 lots are laid out along two through streets and one cul-de-sac with access from Fillmore Street to the east
and Hoover Street to the south. Each home will have driveway access to public streets.
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity.
Updated: August 2020
There is a strip of wetland traversing east to west near the middle of the north half of the parcel. The applicant is
proposing minor impacts to the wetland. This wetland complex and the overhead power lines will be located
within outlots and will not be developed in the future.
Engineering and Utilities
The applicant is proposing a private lift station for the lots in Block 4. Lift stations associated with public services
shall be public and all watermains shall be looped.
Landscaping
The proposal does not include a landscape plan, but staff review, and approval of a landscape plan meeting the
city ordinance requirements, is required.
