HomeMy WebLinkAbout5H - Evanston Place MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: ISSUES: FINANCIAL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT OCTOBER 15, 2007 5H JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR RECORDING THE FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR EVANSTON PLACE Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Ron Kent to extend the deadline for recording the final plat and Development Contract for Evanston Place. The site is east of MN TH 13, north of CSAH 21, south of 160th Street, and west of Evanston Avenue. This report recommends approval of this request. Historv On July 16, 2007 the City Council approved Resolution 07-138 approving the final plat and Development Contract for Evanston Place. This final plat subdivided the existing parcel, into 2 residential lots. A condition of approval of the final plat and Development Contract required the plat be recorded within 90 days of approval, or by October 16, 2007. Section 1002.305 of the Subdivision Ordinance states the final plat shall be considered null and void if not recorded within the prescribed time, unless a request for an time extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City Council prior to the expiration date. On October 5, 2007, the Planning staff received the attached letter from Ron Kent, the current property owner, requesting an extension of this deadline. This extension would be for a period of three (3) months or until January 16, 2008. Current Circumstances Although the developer has received final plat approval, no work has been done on this site. No grading shall be considered until all development fees are paid and the final plat and Development Contract are recorded at the Scott County Offices. The purpose of the application deadline is to keep the platting process moving forward. The extension of this deadline will allow the property owner to delay recording, so that all the documents may be signed by a mortgage company that has interest in the property. 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 a combined preliminary and final plat approval. This action has no financial impact on the City. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: The City Council has three alternatives: 1. Adopt a resolution approving the request to extend the application deadline until January 16, 2008, as requested. 2.
