Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT FEBRUARY 19, 2008 51 DANETTE MOORE, PLANNING COORDINATOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTAL OF A FINAL PLAT FOR GOLDEN POND Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Bakken Development for an additional extension of the deadline for submittal of a final plat to be known as Golden Pond. This report recommends approval of this request. History On August 7, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 06-135, approving the preliminary plat known as Golden Pond. This project is located northeast of Wedgewood Lane (Spring Lane Township), east of Sunray Boulevard, south of MN TH 13, and west of Rice Lake. The preliminary plat consists of approximately 27 acres to be subdivided into 34 lots for single family dwellings. Section 1006.206 (5) of the Subdivision Ordinance states the following: Once a preliminary plat is approved by the City Council, the subdivider must submit an application for a final plat within twelve (12) months after approval of the preliminary plat. If an applicant fails to submit an application for a final plat within the specified 12-month period, the preliminary plat shall be considered void, unless a request for time extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City Council at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the 12-month period. On June 18,2007, the City Council approved a request by the developer for a six-month extension of the final plat deadline, due to the decreased housing market. On February 7, 2008, the Planning staff received the attached letter from the developer requesting an additional six-month extension to August 7, 2008. It should be noted that the extension request was not received within the specified 30 days detailed in the Subdivision Ordinance. However, due to the amount of staff time dedicated to tree preservation on the site, as well as for the sake of customer service, Staff is forwarding the request to the Council for consideration. Current Circumstances Although the developer has received preliminary plat approval, a grading permit has not been issued. No work has begun on this site and no fees will be collected until the final plat is approved. "-''';''.' "',,,,./; www.cityofpriorlake.com F E lpMc~ril95~:'~47 .'9s6tV/ '. .~~'~.. 952.~47:~2U'5 ISSUES: The purpose of the application deadline is to keep the platting process moving forward. The extension of this deadline will allow the developers to delay further construction costs on this project until the housing market becomes stronger. If the developers fail to meet this extended deadline, they still risk withdrawal of Council approval of the preliminary plat and will be required to resubmit an application for a preliminary plat approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This action has no financial impact on the City. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council has three alternatives: 1. Adopt a resolution approving the request to extend the application deadline until August 7, 2008, as requested. 2. Continue this item for specific information or reasons per City Council discussion. 3. Deny the request and direct the staff to prepare a resolution denying the requested extension. Staff recommends Alternative #1. RECOMMENDED MOTION: A motion and second adopting Resolution #08-XX approving an extension of the deadline for submittal of a final plat for Golden Pond to August 7,2008.
