CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request for the
reclassification of the property, based on the following findings and conditions:
1. The planned unit development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed pre -development density of 2.70 units per acre is expected to be within the 3-5
units per acre required in the Low Density Residential land use classification when
calculated with post -development numbers at final plat. The plan incorporates the homes,
trail, park and infrastructure anticipated within the site.
2. The planned development of 192 single family homes is consistent with the intent of the
RSF-2 zoning disfirict, which allows single homes. The applicant is requesting approval of
PUD zoning for design flexibility to allow for modification to the architectural standards,
provide a mix of lot sizes and reduced t a density

except that PUD flexibility is requested as noted in the staff report. In exchange for this
flexibility, the developer will provide both internal infrastructure needed to support their
development, land for the City well and water tower sites, park land, off -site improvements
on Stieg Road, turn lane improvements on County Road 116, and trunk infrastructure
improvements that will serve a larger development area and well as increased amenities
for Bellwether residents.
4. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent
phase. The project is a continuation of the existing Bellwether development and
development is contingent upon completion of trunk infrastructure improvements and
water service..

5. With the improvements required by the feasibility study, the development will not create
an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which

public trails consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and dedication of additional
City park to add to the dedication from earlier Bellwether additions.

Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and adverse impact on the
reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property. The development will be on the low
end of the 3.5 units per net acre planned for this property.
