Council rezones 3‑acre parcel on Main Street to PRC‑5 after public hearing on future access

The council approved a rezone request to incorporate a 3‑acre parcel adjacent to the Maple Lakes PRC into PRC‑5, allowing a half‑acre lot to remain on Main Street and one additional home on the rear acreage with a recreational pond. Staff said the request is consistent with the low‑density general‑plan designation and that the PRC designation gives flexibility to retain the existing house while adding the planned pond and another home.

Neighbors who own the adjacent land asked the council to consider extending the proposed cul‑de‑sac slightly to preserve future access and avoid forcing access from Main Street; the applicant, Brandon Dennison, said the cul‑de‑sac would be built only if and when neighboring properties develop and that bond mechanisms would cover construction of the applicant’s portion of the road.

Council members emphasized that the zone change is conceptual and does not obligate the city to grant road extensions; subdivision plans and any road construction would be addressed at the subdivision stage. The council adopted the rezone with conditions that future subdivision filings address connectivity, potential cul‑de‑sac extension, and neighbor concerns before final plat approval.
