~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: February 25,2008 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Meagan Beekman, Planner I SUBJECT: Planning Case #: 08-003 Preliminary and Final Plat of Christensen Estates Richard J. Christensen PID: 34-30-23-31-0012 Relluest Motion to Approve Planning Case 08-003 for a Preliminary and Final Plat of Christensen Estates and the Development Agreement Based on the Findings of Fact and the Submitted Plans as Amended by the Eleven Conditions in the February 25,2008, Planning Case Report. Backl!round The applicant submitted an application for a Preliminary Plat ofthis property in June 2007. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval at their July 11, 2007, meeting, and the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat at their meeting on July 30, 2007. The Zoning Code requires submission of a Final Plat within 90 days of approval of a Preliminary Plat. The applicant was unable to submit a Final Plat application by the October 30,2007, deadline and the Preliminary Plat approval expired. Since the Preliminary Plat approval, the applicant has discovered that a past condemnation from MnDOT had not been properly filed, which led to the discovery that the right-of-way along Snelling Avenue was approximately five feet wider than was previously known. Therefore, the applicant has resubmitted a revised Preliminary Plat that reflects this boundary change. The overall proposal to subdivide the 3.08 acre property into four new conforming lots is otherwise unchanged. The applicant is also requesting a Final Plat approval. \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhillslPlanninglPlanning Cases\2008\08-003 Christensen Estates Preliminary and Final Plat (PC APPROVED)\022508 _ CC Report - Christensen Estates Plat. doc Pagelof5
