<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for February 8, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-026 - Development Agreement Determination Letter - 3177 Shoreline Lane\Memos_15- <br />026 <br /> <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />The Public Works and Community Development Departments have determined that the majority <br />of the terms and conditions in the Development Agreement were satisfied by Josephine East <br />following the subdivision approval. However, the following two items remain in effect: <br /> <br />Shoreline Lane Extension <br />The subdivision plan included the extension of Shoreline Lane through the middle of the four <br />lots and ending at the property line of 3187 Lexington Avenue. At the time, the City’s Official <br />Map showed Shoreline Lane continuing north to connect with the segment of Shoreline Lane that <br />extends south from Edgewater Avenue. The City Council approved a temporary, 50-foot wide <br />cul-de-sac to be removed when 3187 Lexington Avenue was redeveloped and the entire length of <br />Shoreline Lane could be completed. This cul-de-sac currently provides access to the four <br />Shoreline Lane lots and 3187 Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Under the terms of the Development Agreement, Josephine East was required to provide an <br />escrow for the cost of removing the cul-de-sac and extending Shoreline Lane to the northern <br />boundary of the subdivision. No record of this escrow has been found on file. Staff believes this <br />condition should remain in effect because it establishes that the cul-de-sac is temporary and that <br />the City intends to connect the two ends of Shoreline Lane if 3187 Lexington Avenue were to be <br />subdivided. The Certificate of Completion and Release does not waive the City’s right to assess <br />the properties within the Josephine East subdivision for future costs associated with the <br />Shoreline Lane connection. <br /> <br />Basement Elevations <br />The Development Agreement establishes a minimum elevation for basements due to the location <br />of the properties on Lake Josephine. No structure on any of the four lots is permitted to have a <br />basement elevation below 887.8 feet. This condition would remain in effect and be enforced with <br />any future redevelopment on the properties. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommended Action <br /> <br />Approve the Certificate of Completion and Release pertaining to the Development Agreement <br />between Josephine East, LLC and the City of Arden Hills for the property at 3177 Shoreline <br />Lane. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
