Summary

The commission unanimously recommended approval of the Rush Pointe Preliminary Plat, creating four lots (1.93± to 10.18± acres) and specifying conditions on wetlands permits and final-plat filing deadlines; the church CUP is tied to the recorded Final Plat.

Planning staff presented the Rush Pointe Preliminary Plat on April 2 and the commission recommended approval 6-0. The proposed plat divides a 24.24± acre parent parcel into four lots; proposed Lot 3 (10.18± acres) is the site intended to contain Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church and associated cemeteries.

Beth Gervais said soils and wetland delineation had been reviewed and that the plat drawing demonstrated compliance with the County's Home Site Area Standard. The Highway Department asked that the Final Plat show controlled access from the County State Aid Highway and any wetland permits be obtained prior to development. The commission’s recommendation included conditions that require permits for wetland impacts and that a Final Plat application be submitted within one year unless an extension is granted.

Because the CUP for the church is based on the 10.18± acre Lot 3, staff included a condition recognizing that the CUP approval is contingent on Final Plat approval and recording; if the plat is not recorded, the Department is authorized to revise the legal description for recording. The recommendation will be forwarded to the County Board for final action.
