Commission approves final plat for 40‑unit Providence Lakes townhome development
Summary
The planning commission voted to recommend final plat approval for Providence Lakes (Common Interest Community No. 113), now a 40‑unit, 20‑building townhome project, subject to watershed and land‑disturbance permits, an acceptable common‑interest declaration, and required utility easements; MnDOT access was addressed with a bypass lane.
The Detroit Lakes Planning Commission recommended approval of the final plat for Providence Lakes (Common Interest Community No. 113), a 40‑unit townhome development now laid out as 20 buildings with two units each.
Larry, a city staff member, told commissioners the original plat had contemplated 48 units but the developer revised the design to 40 units to better fit the site. He said staff recommended final‑plat approval subject to four conditions: a required Pelican River Watershed District permit, a city land disturbance permit, an acceptable common interest community declaration to the city's satisfaction before the city signs the final plat, and acceptable utility easements.
Commission discussion confirmed MnDOT access issues were resolved by adding a bypass lane. A motion to approve the final plat per staff recommendations was made and seconded; the commission approved by voice vote. The chair said the recommendation will be forwarded to the community development committee and then the city council, where the council will take final action.
The transcript records the approval by voice vote but does not provide a roll‑call tally or the name of the seconder.
