CASE #: (~ REQUES[T FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF FOX KNOLL; C~SE OF MARK KLECKNER, FOX DEVELOPMENT CO. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Mark Kleckner Of Fox Development Company is requesting preliminary plat approval of Fox Knoll, a plat cons~tsting of two 1 O-acre lots that will require construction of a street. Because of the required street co}nstmction, the plat must be processed as a full subdivision with a public hearing and preliminary L~lat, rather than as a minor subdivision. The following items are enclosed for your review and ihformation: a) site location map b) PrOposed preliminary plat, grading plan, and future subdivision plan c) Ci!y Staff review letter dated September 26, 1994 Observations:~ On July 12, 1994~, the City of Ramsey received an application for subdivision approval of Fox Knoll which consisted of two 10 acre lots. On August 11, 19D4 the Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan. At that time, City Staff recommended thatbecause the property is in the Urban Reserve District and is soon to be included in the Metropolit& Urban Service Area (MUSA), the Developer be required to preliminary plat at urban densities an~d final plat at rural densities until sewer and water is available to the property. The Planning Commission recommended that the Develope~- be permitted to proceed to request preliminary plat ap, proval of two rural 10 acre lots. On September 13,i 1994, the Developer applied for preliminary plat approval of Fox Knoll which consists of two approximately 10-acre lots. On October 4, 1994, the preliminary plat was submitted to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and recorr}mendation. Again Staff recommended preliminary platting at urban densities and final platting a,t rural densities. A number of neighboring property owners were present and expressed their opposition to the property ever being platting at urban densities, especially the residents of Hau~rich Addition (rural plat immediately east of Fox Knoll). The Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of Fox Knoll at rural densities. On October 13, 19,94, the Park and Recreation Commission met and recommended dedication and construction of a a'ail through the property in a north/south direction. The combination of land dedication and the lost to construct the trail exceed the minimum amount of park dedication due on the plat. The detailg of the cost of trail development will be resolved prior to final plat approval. The proposed prelil'ninary plat meets the 10 acre minimum lotsize for the Urban Reserve District. The lots will also neet the minimum frontage on a public road requirement with the cul-de-sac extension of 151 st ~venue into the plat. The cul-de-sac required would result in an extension of existing 1200 foot length.
