By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: North Fork, Inc. is requesting final plat approval of another portion of the Northfork P.U.D. located on the north side of Lake Itasca. The plat is to be named Northfork Itasca Point and consists of approximately 35 acres proposed to be platted into 7 single family lots. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Proposed final plat City Staff review letter dated June 17, 1999 Proposed resolution for final plat approval Proposed development agreement Notification: State Statute requires notification of the public hearing to owners of property within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify owners of property within 500 feet of the April 6 public hearing. Observations: The preliminary plat approved on June 8 consisted of 7 lots and the wetland area was an outlot proposed to be deeded to the Northfork Homeowner's Association. The Council expressed concern that the outlot could go tax forfeit at some point in the future and requested that it be combined with the adjacent park to the northwest. As an alternative, the developer has redrawn the plat and the outlot has been eliminated. The area that was to be designated as outlot has been incorporated into the 7 lots. This action results in eliminating the possibility of the open space going tax forfeit and the need to combine the outlot with the park. The lots are now even larger than they were on the preliminary plat and significantly exceed the minimum lot area of 80,000 square feet established in the shoreland overlay district for Lake Itasca. The street was granted a 400 foot variance to the 600 foot maximum cul-de-sac length. Lot 5 was granted a variance to the 200 foot lot width requirement. The final plat must be modified to include the street name. The final plat also needs to be modified to show the wetland areas and retention pond between Lots 6 and 7 as drainage easements.
