CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
JUNE 18, 2007
5F
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 to extend 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 LalCe 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. Such extensions of time shall not exceed six (6) months.
On June 8, 2007, the Planning staff received the attached letter from the
developer requesting an extension of this deadline to February 7, 2008. The
developer indicated that the extension is due to the decreased housing market.
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.
This action has no financial impact on the City.

Re: Golden Pond Preliminary Plat Extension
We are requesting a 6-month extension for the preliminary plat status for the Golden
Pond development in Prior Lake. Our original intent was to develop this property in the
fall of 2006. We lost several months in 2006 while working on engineering with
Tollefson Development on their Hickory Shores neighborhood. Since that time the
market has decreased dramatically . We feel it is in the best inteuest of our company and
the City of Prior Lake to extend the plat status for period so we can be confident that
Golden Pond will be successfully built and occupied by residence.
Thank You,
