APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING OF "SAWGRASS" FOR PEACHTREE
PARTNERS, LLC ON THE 103 -ACRE SCHENDEL PROPERTY AT 20400 COUNTY ROAD 10
(PID 23- 119 -23 -42 -0003) (CITY FILE 14 -027)
WHEREAS, Peachtree Partners, LLC ( "the applicant') has requested approval of a rezoning
from Urban Reserve (UR) and RMF -3 (High Density Residential) to PUD (planned unit
development) for a 103.32 -acre parcel legally described as follows:
See Attachment A
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends approval, and;
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from Urban
Reserve (UR) and RMF -3 (High Density Residential) to PUD;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by Peachtree
Partners, LLC for the reclassification of the zoning from UR and RMF -3 to PUD for the 103-32 -
acre property, based on the following findings:
The planned unit development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed density of 3.5 units per acre is within the 3 -5 units per acre expected in the
Low Density Residential land use classification and the plan incorporates the trail,
infrastructure and street connections anticipated within in the site.
2. The planned development of 246 single family homes is consistent with the intent of an
underlying RSF -3 zoning district, which allows a mix of single and two - family homes.
The applicant is requesting approval of PUD zoning for design flexibility to provide a mix
of lot sizes for this neighborhood at a density consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning
ordinance, 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 and trunk infrastructure improvements that will serve a
larger development area and well as increased amenities and better neighborhood
design than might be expected in a standard subdivision.
4. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent
phase. The project has a 3 -5 year phasing plan and development is contingent upon
completion of trunk infrastructure improvements. The initial phase will include the
construction of the primary project infrastructure, lift station and other key public
infrastructure improvement.

5. The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets
and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development. The developer is providing public trails consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and a strong pedestrian connection to the existing City park. The
development includes the construction of all public infrastructure needed to serve this
site at the developer's expense.
6. The planned development is a residential neighborhood developed consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and adverse impact on the
reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
7. The quality of the site design proposed by the PUD shall substantially enhance the
aesthetics of the site, install and provide more efficient use of streets, utilities and public
facilities than may otherwise be expected and create public benefit that is greater than
would otherwise be achieved due to the construction and financing of all related
infrastructure improvements. The development will meet the City's density goals while
preserving 38% of the site as preserved open space maintained by the homeowner's
association (much of it wetland and ponding areas, but wooded areas and public trails
as well).
8. Adequate infrastructure is available to serve this site if the conditions of PUD preliminary
plan and preliminary plat are met.
