HOMES, INC. The Planner advised the Edgewater project has been ongoing since 1985 and the PUD concept plan, rezoning, landscape plan, grading plan and lighting were approved on a preliminary basis in 1987. He stated the current request for approval of Final Plat for the Townhouse development and conforms in every respect to the approved preliminary plat, including modifications recommended by Council in 1987. Bergly advised Arden Hills Code requires that the Final Plat be filed within 90 days after filing of the Preliminary Plat. He explained the U.S. Fish and • Wildlife Service, the Village Attorney and the developer's attorney have been negotiating an easement exchange which has been in progress for approximately one year, which is one of the reasons for the delay in filing the Final Plat. The Planner stated the negotiations for the exchange of easements on the single family lots located on Wedgewood Circle and the open space area identified as Lot 9 are completed; a reduction in the easement on the rear portion of Lots 6, 7 and 8 of Wedgewood Circle, to provide adequate building sites, was exchanged for the title to the open space easement on Lot 9 of Edgewater Estates. Bergly displayed a diagram outlining the exchange of land. Bergly advised Commission the plat defines Lot 9 as a flowage easement and the developer may have to redraft that portion of the plat in this area. Engineer Barry Peters contacted the Planner and advised the Sanitary Sewer extension in this area is completed and would have to be shown as an easement on the Final Plat. The Planner recommended approval of the Final Plat, subject to the Engineer review and approval of easement, the Attorney review and approval of title and the minor corrections to the plat identifying the easements. Member Probst questioned if the Commission should recommend the 90 day filing period be waived and when the project construction would begin. Bergly advised it would be appropriate to waive the 90 day filing period. • Keith Tramm, Mardon Homes, Inc. , stated construction is scheduled to begin within one week.
