Case #3: Request for Final Plat Approval of Northfork Oaks; Case of North Fork, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that North Fork, Inc. is requesting final plat approval of Northfork Oaks. The plat is proposed to be 29 acres divided into 13 single family lots. The lots are proposed to receive public access from the extension of 160th into the plat with a cul-de-sac extending off this through street. Street names need to be applied to the plat. It is Staffs understanding that the developer will be requesting to deviate from the street grid system to name the cul-de-sac Royal instead of Rabbit. There is no park dedication due on this portion of the P.U.D. in accordance with the May 9, 1989 Northfork Park Dedication Agreement. Ms. Frolik reported that Mr. Chuck Delaney, owner of Armstrong Kennels to the east of Northfork, has expressed some concerns about the development encroaching on his business. She explained that the 75' strip of property that abuts Mr. Delaney's property would be prohibited from any clearance of vegetation or mature trees. Persons interested in the property would be told there are kennels in the area so there would be barking and occasionally gun shots. She stated she does not have a definite answer from Mr. Delaney and she is recommending approval to Northfork Oaks contingent upon compliance with Staff review letter and a favorable agreement between North Fork, Inc. and Mr. Delaney. Councilmember Peterson inquired if there are other addresses on Rabbit Street that would become confusing if the developer is allowed to change the street name to Royal. Ms. Frolik stated there are other addresses on Rabbit Street but they would not be affected because they are not in the North Fork P.U.D. Dennis Peck, North Fork, Inc., stated that the grid falls between Rabbit and Sloth Street and that he would prefer the name Royal Street. He added that he had spoken with Mr. Delaney's attorney and stated he was going to call Ms. Frolik to let her know that Mr. Delaney was in agreement with everything. Mr. Peck reported that he had spoken with the City's Parks/Utilities Coordinator Mark Boos regarding the City's policy of planting two trees and has arranged to have the trees placed on the new trail corridor instead. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if Mr. Peck had a problem with the prohibitions for the 75' strip of property that abuts Mr. Delaney's property to which Mr. Peck replied, no, North Fork had actually proposed that idea. Police Chief Auspos commented that the different street names in North Fork do not really create a problem for 911, etc., however, there may be other areas requesting to do the same. Ms. Frolik stated that deviations have been in North Fork and the last time a street name was deviated from, she called the 911 office and they said it was no problem as long as we noted to them the deviation. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #94-10-243 granting final plat approval to Northfork Oaks contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated October 14, 1994, and a favorable agreement between North Fork, Inc. and Armstrong Kennels. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbenson, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None. Abstain: CouneilmemberHardin. City Council/October 25, 1994 Page 7 of 15
