CASE #: REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF FOX KNOLL 2ND ADDITION; CASE OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Residential Development, Inc. is requesting final plat approval of Fox Knoll 2nd Addition. The property is located in the southeast comer of the intersection of Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and 153rd Avenue N,W. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) e) d) Site location map Proposed final plat City Staff review letter dated March 8, 1996 Proposed development agreement Proposed resolution for final plat approval Noti fica tion: State Statute requires notification to owners of property within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff notified persons owning property within 400 feet of the subject property of the preliminary plat public hearing. Observations: The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential for which single family residential lots are a permitted use. All of the lots meet the minimum 80 foot lot width requirement (90 feet on comers) and the 10.800 Square foot area requirement. The Anoka County Highway Department has approved the location of the access onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. Ail lots will receive access from interior streets. Mr. Kurak owns the adjacent property to the South and in accordance with his request at the time of sketch plan review, 151 st Lane N.W. will terminate in a cul-de-sac at the south property boundary. The Drainage Plan is generally acceptable and proposes to convey drainage overland to 152nd Avenue where a storm sewer will carry it eastward to a sedimentation pond before discharging into Wetland #114P. There is a pre-existing homestead on the property and as a result of past experience in similar situations, Staffs review letter attempted to put the developer on notice that certain upgrades would be required to make the pre-existing structure more compatible with the new neighborhood. In this case, the Developer has no control or ownership of the homestead parcel which has a life estate for the existing resident. However, the development agreement has been drafted to require the Developer to provide a paved driveway on the existing homestead parcel. With regard to pedestrian trails, it was anticipated that at some point in the future there may be a need for an On-Road "B" trail along Sodium Street N.W. to 153rd Avenue. To facilitate this possibility, the developer is being required to provide curb cuts at 152nd and 151st and an easement from' the northerly terminus of Sodium Street to 153rd. The developer will also be required to continue the pedestrian trails along Sunfish Lake Blvd. and 153rd Avenue N.W. Park dedication will be satisified with a cash contribution less $7.00 per lineal foot of trail link surface from the northerly terminus of Sodium to t53rd.
