Case #8: Request for Extension to Record Final Plat for River Pines 4th Addition and Amendment to Development Agreement for River Pines 3rd Addition; Case of Orrin Thompson Homes Community Development Director Frolik stated that on May 12, 1998, the Ramsey City Council granted final plat approval to Apple Ridge 2~d, 3~d, 4% and 5tx~ Additions being developed by Good Value Homes. Subsequently, the property was sold and US Home Corporation or Orrin Thompson Homes and they assumed the obligations of the development agreements. US Home requested a plat name change and recorded the second phase of Apple Ridge as River Pines and the third phase of Apple Ridge as River Pines-2® Addition. Accordingly, the 4~ and 5th phases of Apple .Ridge will be recorded as River Pines 3~a and River Pines 4th Additions. City Code establishes a two year time frame from the date of final plat approval to record a plat at the County. in 2000, the City Council granted a one year extension to May 12, 2001, to the recording of the final two phases of River Pines. River Pines 3rd Addition will be recorded by May 12, 2001. However, River Pines 4tl~ Addition is not on a timeline to be recorded by May 12, 2001. Orrin Thompson Homes has submitted a written request for an additional six-month extension in which to record the final phase of River Pines. City Code states that "the Council may extend the period upon written application by the subdivider and subject to all applicable performance conditions and requirements, or the Council may require submission of a new application unless the Council finds that substantial activity and investment has occurred in reasonable reliance on the approved application and the subdivider will suffer substantial financial damage as a consequence of a requirement to submit a new application." .in conjunction with the extension for recording, the deadline for installing the Stage I improvements in Item #6 of the Development Agreement also needs to be modified. Given that the extension to record is at the end of this construction season, staff recommended amending the completion date to the end of year's construction season or November 30, 2002. Staff and the Developer are currently working on recording the plat and development agreement for River Pines 3~a Addition by the May 12, 2001 deadline. At the time the extension was granted, staff erroneously did so without amending the deadline for installing Stage I improvements in that phase. However, there is still time to do that and record the development agreement by May 12, 2001. Staff requested Council approval to change the improvement construction deadline for River Pines 3~d Addition to the end of this year's construction season or November 30, 2001. Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to adopt Resolution #01-04- 193 granting a six-month extension to November 12, 2001, to record the final plat of River Pines 4th Addition and modify the deadline for completing the Stage I Improvements to November 20, 2002. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Hendriksen, Kurak, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. City Council/April 24, 2001 Page 23 of 27 -33-
