Case #1: Request for Final Plat Approval oftNorthfork St. Andrews Addition; Case of North Fork, Inc. Community Development Director Frolik stated that North Fork, [nc. was requesting final plat approval of Northfork-St: Andrews Addition. The-plat consists of 44 single-farrfily, rural residential lots. The subject plat was part of a larger area that received prelim/nary plat approval in 1995 as Northfork Filkh Addition. The preliminary plat for Northfork Filth Addition expired prior to all phases receiving fina[ plat approval. Therefore, the applicant was' reqmred to obtain a new prelim/nary plat approval. New preliminary plat approval was granted by the City Council on January 23,200I. A total of 44 lots ranging in size from 1.02 to 3.5 acres in size are shown on the final plat. TI-tis is in conformance with the approved preliminary plat. At that time of preliminary plat approval, it was noted that Lots 2 and 4, Block 1 and Lots 11-13, Block 2 do not meet the 160-foot lot width requirement at the 40~foot building setback line as required for the PUrl3. City Council approved the preliminary plat as drawn w~th the direction that the development agreement requires that the homes on these tots be sited at a point where the lot is 160 feet wide. There is also an Outlot A shown on the final plat. In a previous a~eement with the owners-of the goIf course, North Fork made a commitment to provide an expansion area for the 1'7" fairway at the time St. Andrews is £mal ptated. This outlot will be conveyed to the golf course. The extension of St. ,andrews Lane to the west and north is dedicated on the Final plat. The final plat also dedicates two new cul-de-sacs, [vemsess Court and St. Andrews Court. At the time of preliminary plat approval, City Council approved deviating from the street grid patter and naming ttxe cul-de-sacs hnvemess Court and St. Andrews Courtl Lq accordance with the May 9, 1989 Nortlgbrk Park Dedication A~eement, there is a park dedication obligation of $500 per lot to be met in this plat. The City has established a trail development fee of $325 per dwelling unit that is also collected pr/or to the release of the final plat for recording. The grading and drainage plan is acceptable. The standard 10-foot drainage and utility easements (five feet on common property lines) are provided on lot perimeters. Additional utility and drainage easements have been provided per the request of the City Engineer. Some of the lots have less than a two percent ~ade and will be required to submit a certificate of grading prior to issuance of the certificate of' occupancy. These lots are specifically identified in the deveiopment agreement. This' development will require the issuance of a Watershed Management Organization permit. Staff recommended final plat approval. Councilmember .Anderson stated that there are at least two lots that are only about one acre and in most comminutes it is not permitted to have a well and septic system on a one acre lot, but in Ramsey you can. She inquired if staff was sure that they would have adequate drain field locations. Ci~ Council/August 14, 2001 Page 6 of 13
