JANE KANSIER, PLANNING DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE DEADLINE
FOR SUBMITTAL OF A FINAL PLAT FOR MAPLE GLEN 3RD ADDITION
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Tollefson
Development to extend the deadline for submittal of a final plat to be known as
Maple Glen 3rd Addition, located south of Trunk Highway 13 (Maple Glen 2nd
Addition), north of 180th Street, and west of Wedgewood Lane. This report
recommends approval of this request.
History
On April 17, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 06-057, approving the
preliminary plat known as Maple Glen 3rd Addition. This project is located
south of Trunk Highway 13 (Maple Glen 2nd Addition), north of 180th Street,
and west of Wedgewood Lane, and consists of 29 acres to be subdivided into
52 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. Such extensions of time shall not exceed six (6) months.
On November 13, 2006, the Planning staff received the attached letter from
the developers requesting an extension of this deadline to October 17, 2007.
The reason for the extension is "due to the housing market 'down turn. "'. The
developers indicated they plan to begin construction in 2008.
Current Circumstances
Although the developer has received preliminary plat approval, a grading
permit has not been issued. No work has begun on this site.
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.

Maple Glen III 6-month extension of preliminary plat to October 17, 2007
Dear Ms. Kansier:
The purpose of this letter is to request from the City Council a 6-month extension of the Maple Glen III
Preliminary Plat. The Plat was approved by the City Council on April 17 , 2006. Tollefson Development,
Inc. would have to exercise its submittal of the Final Plat within 12- months from the approved Preliminary
Plat or by April 17 , 2007. Although we are looking for a I-year extension, 6-month increments are what
are allowed by ordinance which would carry us to October 17, 2007.
The reason for this request is purely due to the housing market "down turn." We need this extension as we
anticipate constructing the project in 2008 due the abundance of inventory and slow lot sales, not only with
our projects, but in other areas. In essence, the market is correcting itself and we are anticipating an ''up
swing" in the market place in 2008.
One can understand that when we were seeking approval for this project, the market was more palatable for
positive sales. It is burdensome for a successful company like Tollefson Development, Inc. to construct a
project and sit on it. It does not make fmancial sense and is not healthy for us or the City.
We really are appreciative to be working on the projects we have in the works with the City and will
continue to do more projects from years to come. We own the parcels that make up Maple Glen IlL
Again, we like the community of Prior Lake with an exceptional Staff and City Council. We just need a bit
more time for the market to correct itself. In a sense, we do not want compete against our other projects in
Prior Lake.
Your positive recommendation and consideration for this request will be greatly appreciated.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours truly,
