The purpose of the plat is to acquire the eastern end of the Bjorklund property into an Outlot to be retained by the City for preservation of tree cover in the area. The City is interested in this tree preservation in order to protect and intensify the natural screening it provides between the heavy industrial uses on the east side of Unity and the light industrial uses on the west side of Unity. The following items are enclosed for your review: Site location map Final plat Exhibit of land conveyances Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated May 6,I 997 City Staff review letter dated May 16, 1997 Proposed development agreement Proposed resolution for final plat approval Observations: To accommodate this acquisition of property from the Bjorldund parcel for the City, the City is performing the platting process. The City will be acquiring 16,975 square feet from the Bjorklund pared. To compensate for that, the Bjorldund parcel will obtain 19,250 square feet from the Julian Johnson parcel to the east and 44,550 square feet from the City parcel to the south. The City will compensate the Johnson parcel by conveying 15,660 square feet of the City's Outlot to the south end of the Johnson parcel. The Julian Johnson parcel will retain its' driveway onto Industry Avenue N.W. The Bjorklund parcel will continue to utilize an easement across the parcel to the north in order to access Unity Street N.W. Outlot B, on the very southern end of the Plat, is intended to be developed at some point in the future as a public road. If either the Johnson or Bjorklund parcel wish to utilize Outlot B as an access to Unity Street N.W. prior to the street improvements being installed, they must pave the access. The Planning Commission reviewed the plat and recommended approval contingent upon 60 feet rather than 30 feet being preserved along the south boundary of the plat for a future road. Realignment of the south property boundary another 30 feet to the south is not a problem as the City also owns this property. /q
