Home My WebLink About5F - Pike Lake Meadows MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MARCH 3, 2008 5F JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR RECORDING THE FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR PIKE LAKE MEADOWS Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Manley Land Development to extend the deadline for recording the final plat and Development Contract for Pike Lake Meadows to September 17, 2008. The property is located north of CSAH 42 and west of Pike Lake Trail. Historv On September 17, 2007, the City Council approved Resolutions 07-165 and 07-166, approving the final PUD plan and the final plat and Development Contract for Pike Lake Meadows. The final plat of Pike Lake Meadows consists of approximately 21 acres to be subdivided into 19 lots and 4 outlots to allow for the construction of 11 town home residential units, 8 townoffice units, and parkland. Conditions of approval of the final plat and development contract included: 1) The developer shall provide documentation verifying access easements that allow the adjacent residential property a maintained driveway through the project site to Pike Lake Trail. 2) The developer shall stub utility services to the property boundary of the adjacent residential parcel. 3) The developer shall provide an easement within Outlot D to assure future access from Sherrie Street to the adjacent parcel to the northeast. 4) The final plat and all pertinent documents must be filed with Scott County within 90 days from the date of final plat approval, by September 17, 2008. Current Circumstances In October, 2007, the developer cleared the site, but was not allowed to begin construction of streets and utilities until the remaining conditions of final plat approval had been met. Staff has been holding the final plat documents in anticipation of submittal of the required easements and development fees. Section 1002.305 of the Subdivision Ordinance states the final plat shall be considered void if not recorded within the prescribed time, unless a request for a time extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City Council prior to the expiration date.

Lii)(' Late last year Manley Land Development submitted such an extension request. At the December 17, 2007 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution #07-206 authorizing the extension of the recording deadline to March 17,2008. Most recently, on February 8, 2008, the Planning Staff received the attached letter from Manley Land Development requesting another extension of this deadline to September 17, 2008. 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 recording until the fall of this year. This also allows the developer to delay submittal of the required development fees. According to the attached letter, the request for the extension is due to current housing market conditions. If the owners fail to meet this extended deadline, the final plat approval becomes null and void, and they will be required to resubmit an application for final PUD plan and final 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 recording deadline until September 17, 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 #olxx approving an extension of the deadline for recording the final plat and development contract for Pike Lake Meadows to September 17, 2008.
