Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 03/08/2001

DRAFT local street. Eland Street stubs into the subject property from the north. Strict interpretation would require that the driveway for the new lot created access Eland Street. If that were the case, a variance to the lot width would be required in order to build on Lot 2. By definition, Lot 2 would only be 66 feet wide where it abuts Eland Street. Another option is require the extension, dedication and construction of Eland Street to service Lot 2. Staff would recommend that the two existing driveways onto County Road #83 be utilized as a temporary measure. The plat development should then require that if and when the property subdivides further, both driveways will be converted to access streets interior to the plat. To facilitate this plan, staff is requesting that the corridors for the extension of Eland Street fi.om the north and 157t~ Avenue from the east be preserved within the plat boundaries by drainage and utility easements. At the time the property is further subdivided, or upon the City's request, these easements would be conveyed to the City for road right of way purposes. The plat has been forwarded to Anoka County Highway Department for review; no comments have been received to date. The developer is responsible for provi.ding the City with a resubdivision plan to show an ultimate plan for the property if and when it is served by City sewer and water. The Park Commission will be reviewing the plat on March 8, 2001. Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the minor subdivision. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that City Council grant/deny final plat approval to Nordvik Addition contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter.
