Prior Lake Planning Commission Recommends Approval for Marlowe Ridge Development

The Prior Lake Planning Commission considered five requests related to the Marlowe Ridge development, including a future land use map amendment, zoning map amendment, easement vacation, preliminary PUD plan, and preliminary plat for 262 residential units. The requests involve rezoning commercial land to residential use due to site challenges and aim to provide life cycle housing. The Commission recommended approval of all five requests, with specific conditions regarding parking for townhomes and further review of traffic and safety concerns. Public comments raised issues about density, traffic, school impacts, wetland preservation, and the balance of commercial vs. residential land use.
