Planning staff: conditional approvals for Meadow Branch subdivision and self‑storage; Wakefield Valley amendment forwarded with conditions
Summary
Planning staff told the council that conditional approval was granted for preliminary Subdivision M24007 (Meadow Branch Industrial Park 5) to divide 15.75 acres into three lots, and conditional approval was granted for a 66,490-square-foot Meadow Creek self-storage facility; the Wakefield Valley development plan amendment (DP2401) proposing 35 new density rights and dedicating Parcel X to Carol Lutheran Village for open space was forwarded to council with conditions.
Planning staff updated the council on recent planning commission decisions and next steps for development items in the Meadow Branch and Wakefield Valley areas.
Planning Director (Miss Gerhardt) reported that the planning commission granted conditional approval for preliminary Subdivision M24007 for Meadow Branch Industrial Park 5, a request to subdivide 15.75 acres into three lots at the intersection of Meadow Branch Road, Meadow Creek Drive and Buckshot Road. The planning commission also granted conditional approval for the Meadow Creek self-storage facility, a 66,490-square-foot building north of Meadow Creek Drive.
On the longer-range item, the Wakefield Valley development plan amendment (DP2401) covering Parcel W (about 38.29 acres) and Parcel X (about 16.06 acres) was continued at the commission but the commission decided to forward a favorable recommendation to the mayor and common council with conditions; the amendment proposed adding 35 new density rights to Parcel W to construct 35 detached dwelling units and dedicating Parcel X to Carol Lutheran Village for open space.
Council members asked about traffic and the State Highway Administration’s earlier investigation in the area; planning staff said the subdivision work helped clarify property ownership and that staff would follow up with a report on traffic and intersection improvements.
The planning commission’s written recommendation and conditions will return to the planning commission for a final written recommendation and then proceed to the council for further consideration and any action.
