Council approves Reagan Addition final plat and PUD rezoning with phased access requirement
Summary
The Kasson City Council approved the final plat and PUD rezoning for the Reagan Addition, clearing the way for 116 housing units across single‑family and townhome lots and setting phasing conditions tied to an eastward secondary access.
The Kasson City Council on April 1 approved the Reagan Addition final plat and a companion PUD that rezones the property, allowing a mix of single-family and multifamily housing under a PUD overlay.
Staff said the final plat covers 29.14 acres and lists 12 single-family lots and 14 townhome lots; staff characterized the overall project as 116 housing units and said that yields a density of about 3.98 units per gross acre, which meets the city’s low-density residential standard in the comprehensive plan. All streets in the subdivision will be public and built to city standards with sidewalks, staff said.
The development agreement included a specific provision that no building permits for phase 2 will be issued until Thirteenth Street Northwest is connected to Highway 57 (or an approved secondary connection exists). Staff and the developer explained that the developer purchased adjacent parcels to “control his own destiny” and plans to stub Thirteenth Street out to Highway 57; staff noted past discussions with MnDOT about turn‑lane requirements and potential funding through a Local Partnership Program (LPP) to improve Highway 57 intersections.
Council and staff also discussed infrastructure items including a stormwater basin (Outlot A), undergrounding an existing overhead electric line along property lines, and the city engineer’s plan-review comments. The city engineer said comments were largely cleanup items to the construction plans and did not expect major changes to the final plat.
Staff said the PUD approval constitutes rezoning of the property from development holding to R‑1 for single-family lots and R‑3 for townhomes, with a PUD overlay describing lot sizes, setbacks, landscaping and trail connections. The development agreement also includes a requirement that the developer report annually on units that are income‑restricted; staff said that requirement is tied to the project’s tax‑increment financing and that the percentage requirement applies to units that are built in any given phase.
Councilmember Paul moved approval of the final plat and PUD; Councilmember Brian seconded. The council voted in favor and the motions carried.
