CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 98-XX
EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR SUBl\nTTAL OF A
FINAL PLAT FOR NORTHWOOD OAKS ESTATES
Historv: On August 18, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution
97-66 approving the preliminary plat to be known as Northwood Oaks
Estates. This preliminary plat consists of 34.15 acres to be subdivided
into 46 lots for single family dwellings. The property is located on the
west side of North wood Road, south of Arctic Lake and east of Spring
Lake Regional Park.
On July 17, 1998, the Planning staff received the attached letter from
Kurt Larson, developer of this project, requesting a six month
extension for the approval of this final plat. Mr. Larson notes the
additional time is required in order to purchase the property and submit
the necessary documents for final plat approval.
Current Circumstances: Section 6-3-4 (A) of the Subdivision
Ordinance states that a final plat must be submitted within 12 months
of the preliminary plat approval by the City. This section also states
"the Council may extend this period for good cause for up to but not
exceeding twelve (12) months, upon written application by the
developer". In this case, the preliminary plat expires on August 18,
1998. The developer has requested this deadline be extended until
February 18, 1999. Without the extension, the preliminary plat
becomes null and void. Any development must begin at the
preliminary plat stage.
Issues: The purpose of the deadline for submittal of a final plat is to
ensure that ordinances and conditions are relatively similar to those in
place at the time of preliminary plat approval. In this case, the City is
in the process of reviewing a new zoning ordinance. While this
extension may extend beyond the effective date of a new ordinance,
the ordinance in its current form would not have any effect on the lot
size or configuration of this site. Another issue is the fee structure for
the development. We do not anticipate any major changes in the fee

schedule that would affect this plat. Finally, the physical conditions of
this site have not changed since preliminary plat approval.
Conclusion: Extension of the approval of the preliminary plat will not
adversely affect the platting process.
Bud!!et ImDact: There is no budget impact as a result of this action.
Any development of this site will generate development fees and taxes.
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt Resolution 98-XX approving the extension as requested.
2. Deny Resolution 98-XX.
3. Defer this item and provide staffwith specific direction.
Motion and second as part of the Consent Agenda to adopt Resolution
98-XX approving the six month extension from August 18, 1998, to
February 18, 1999, for the submittal of a final plat for Northwood
Oaks Estates.

Re: Plat extension for Northwood Oaks Estates
The purpose of this letter is to request a plat extension for Northwood Oaks Estates.
The preliminary plat was approved August 18, 1997. Since that time the property has
gone through a foreclosure process and updating and clearing of the title. This halted any
effort to be able to finalize the plat and ownership issues for this parcel.
)
I have recently contracted with the current fee owners, Richfield Bank and Trust, to
acquire the property. The plat expires August 18, 1998. With the amount of processing
and logistics that are required for acquisition and for the City of Prior Lake, there is not
enough time to complete and get approval of the final plat.
I am therefore requesting a six month extension to the approval of the preliminary plat
for Northwood Oaks Estates.
I appreciate the consideration for this request and would be available for any questions or
additional information that may be needed.
Sincerely,
w~
Kurt Larson
