The subdivision is a replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Riverview Estates into 2 commercial lots. One to facilitate the existing Comfort Suites Hotel and the Applicants are marketing the resulting vacant lot for development with a restaurant. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Final plat Site plan Development Agreement Letter from Michael McCollum, attorney representing Dana and Duke Grosslein, dated January 6, 2000 Notification: No public notification is required for amendments to development agreements. Observations: As of this date, the plat has not been recorded at the County and the subject property remains as one commercial lot. As you can see from the site plan, access is provided to the property from Hwy. # 10, Sunfish Lake Blvd. and Riverdale Drive N.W. When the subdivision of the lot into two lots is recorded, the hotel site will have the access from Hwy. #10 and the access from Riverdale. The restaurant site will have the access from Sunfish Lake Blvd. and the access from Riverdale. (The Riverdale access is platted on the common property line between the two lots). At the time of final plat approval, it was anticipated flaat both lots would want to share all public accesses, not just the one on Riverdale. Cross easements giving the hotel site legal use of the Sunfish Lake Blvd. access and the restaurant site legal use of the Hwy. #10 access would be required to facilitate this. Consequently, the development agreement was drafted to require the Developer to provide the City with such easements in recordable form. All obligations of the development agreement have been met with the exception of providing the City with evidence that access easements between Lots 1 and 2 have been drafted in recordable form. When these easements are provided, City Staff can release the plat for recording at the County.
