Net density for the development <br />has been established at 6 units per acre. <br /> <br />The final plat will be recorded at Anoka County as a Common Interest Community (CIc). <br />Therefore the final plat submitted to the City does not show each individual townhome lot <br />(building pads). The final plat submitted to the City consists of eight large lots, Outlot C, Outlot <br />B and Outlot A. The final plat will be revised to show that Outlot A will be dedicated as a park <br />instead of an outlot. The dedication page should also reflect that the park will be utilized for <br />public purposes. <br /> <br />The developer will record each townhome lot at the Anoka County Surveyors Office when <br />construction of the units has either commenced.or been completed. The proposed townhome <br />structures are required to comply with the preliminary plat and site 131an approved by the City <br />Council on December 18, 2002. <br /> <br />-139- <br /> <br /> <br />
