Acres and 2.99 Acres
Mr. Will Lessard, Lake Area Utilities, appeared to give a brief overview of his plans for
the plat/lot split.
City Administrator Larson stated that this was discussed at the last Planning and Zoning
Conunission meeting. He added that this is currently Outlot A within an earlier plat of
Center Villa.
Mr. Lessard stated that, because of the location of the trail, he thought it would be a good
time to define the property and make it 2 lots. He stated that it meets all the City
requirements for B I zoning. There are approximately 5 acres total, with approximately 3
acres in the south parcel.

City Administrator Larson stated the trail should not have anything to do with the split
itself. City Administrator Larson showed, on the screen, the driveway easement location
that would be shared by both properties.
Commissioner Mosher stated that he believed the split would be a good thing for Lake
Area Utilities, and did not see any reason why it should not be granted.
City Administrator Larson stated that the trail easement is a loose end from the first
subdivision. He added that one other possible issue is that there may be some right-of-way
issues with the County. He stated that the City will wait and see what issues the County
may have and will address them at that time.
City Administrator Larson passed out a draft, with the Staffs recommendation to approve,
subject to the following:
1. The owner shall execute and record the prior trail easement before the City Council
gives final approval to the plat.
2. Anoka County right-of-way requirements shall be incorporated into the plat.
