Therefore, the applicant has resubmitted the Preliminary and Final Plat for Christensen Estates. The overall proposal to subdivide the 3.08 acre property into four new conforming lots has remained entirely unchanged. The property is vacant and does not have an assigned address. The property is located to the east of Snelling Avenue/Highway 51 and to the west of the intersection of Hamline Avenue and Ingerson Road (Attachment C), which is near the northwest side of Lake Josephine. The property is not adjacent to Lake Josephine. The applicant has submitted a Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) approved wetland delineation report, existing conditions map, Preliminary Plat, and preliminary grading plan (Attachment D). The soil information submitted previously has not changed since the application was last reviewed. The Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed the proposal and issued a conditional approval upon receipt of changes (CAPROC). The changes requested by RCWD are minor and are not anticipated to change the layout of the proposed plat. The submitted plans do show potential locations for future dwellings; however, those are only meant to illustrate that there is room on each lot for a dwelling. The exact location of each dwelling will be determined as each lot is developed through the building permit process. No variances are anticipated for any of the lots as they are developed. This plat is being processed as a preliminary and final plat review simultaneously. There are conditions that need to be met prior to executing the final plat, and the park dedication fee will need to be paid. 2. Site Data Park Vacant R-1: Single Family Residential 3.9 acres The topographyis enerall flat with a lar a expanse of wetlands. While the future land use map does list the property as "park," that designation does not impact the development of this property since the underlying zoning is residential. To turn the property into a public park or to prohibit development, the property would need to be purchased by the City or other public entity. The area of the four properties on the plat do not add up to 3.9 acres because a 33 foot wide strip of land will be dedicated to the City as part of the Hamline Avenue right-of-way on the final plat.
