Council tables Belle Maple Farms subdivision amid utility, park and easement concerns
Summary
City staff presented a proposal for a 15-lot subdivision at 750 Kings Road. Councilors raised feasibility and access concerns — including a 25–40-foot grade change, need for a lift station and potential Carver County permissions to cross the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail — and voted to table the preliminary plat, related easement vacations and a comprehensive-plan amendment while staff and the developer address specified conditions.
The Victoria City Council voted to table three related actions on the proposed Belle Maple Farms residential development after staff and the developer’s engineer explained technical constraints and nearby residents raised concerns.
City planner (presenting) said the applicant proposes a preliminary plat and comprehensive-plan amendment for a roughly 8-acre parcel at 750 Kings Road, adjacent to Chanhassen. The proposal would create 15 single-family lots with a temporary turnaround, a lift station and a stormwater basin; staff said the lots meet the city’s bulk requirements and flagged Shoreland Overlay rules because the site lies within 1,000 feet of two lakes. Planner noted that DNR-area hydrologists had not expressed concern and that the Metropolitan Council must approve any comprehensive-plan amendment.
