I I I I I I I I I CASE REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF NORTHFORK ITASCA SHORES; CASE OF NORTH FORK, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: North Fork, Inc. is requesting final plat approval of another portion of the Northfork P.U.D. located southwest of Lake Itasca. The plat is to be named Northfork Itasca Shores and consists of 11 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 December 6, 1996 Proposed resolution for final plat approval Proposed development agreement Notification: State law requires notification of the preliminary plat public hearing to prOPerty owners within 350 feet of the subjectpmperty. In this case, Staff sent notice of the preliminary plat public hearing to persons within 500 feet of the subject property. There were no written or verbal comments submitted at the public hearing. Observations: All of the lots meet the one acre minimum lot size and are at least 160 feet wide at the street frontage or building setback line. Outlot A is the site of the Northfork identification sign and will be held in ownership by the the corporation. From a logical lot design aspect, Outlot B is more appropriately a part of Lot 13, Block 3, Northfork Second Addition, and will be conveyed to that property owner accordingly. Outlots C and D will be held by the corporation for future development. The lots are proposed to receive public access from an 1,100 foot cul-de-sac to be named Andrie Court N.W., which is a deviation from the City's grid system approved by Council at the time of preliminary plat approval. As for the cul-de-sac length, Council also approved exceeding the 600 foot maximum contingent upon the Developer constructing the bubble with a large enough radii to accommodate larger vehicles rounding the cul-de-sac and driving back out of the neighborhood in one movement. Further, the Developer was also required to consmact a landscaped center island in the cul-de-sac bubble to provide additional area for runoff and snow storage and break up the space of blacktop. The cul-de-sac bubble shown on the f'mal plat is sufficient in size to accommodate traffic flow in one movement, however, the center island should be platted as an outlot to facilitate ownership by a homeowners association or North Fork, Inc. As it is currently platted, the center island would be the responsibility of the City. In lieu of no alternative or second access to the neighborhood, the developer has agreed to provide a paved trail extending south off the end of the cul-de-sac and west to 153rd which could be traversed by vehicles in emergency situations. The development agreement will also require the developer to provide a paved trail east and north to connect with the existing trail system at 15650 Okapi Street N.W. Except for that segment of trail extending south off the cul-de-sac bubble and west to 153rd, the City will reimburse the Developer for trail pavement costs.
