compliance with items contained in the City Engineers report dated July 31, 1990, requiring dedication of Ouflot A as a drainage easement in lieu of park dedication due on Lot 1, Block 3, and correcting the plat to indicate 6/12 curbing versus 4/12 curbing. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairman Zimmerman, Commissioners Deemer, Bawden, LaDue and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Terry and Hendriksen. Case #2; Request for sketch plan review of Northfork Park Addition; case of North Fork, Inc, Mr. Dennis Peck was requesting sketch plan approval of a minor subdivision for Northfork Park Addition which consists of a replat of two lots from Northfork 2nd Addition. The plat will consist of a replat of a former residential lot approximately two acres in size and an outlot to be used for recreational activities and deeded to the Homeowners Association. Mr. Peck noted that the minor subdivision is reducing the overall density in Northfork P.U.D. by one lot and therefore no park dedication would be due. Mr. Peck stated that although the outlot will be designated as such, it is very probable that it will be developed with recreational type structures and he would like some suggestions from the commissions as to ways to guarantee that those options will remain valid. Commissioner Deemer expressed concern that the Homeowners Association would alter the intended use of the outlot in the future. Mr. Peck replied that the documents of record would be a continuing restraint on the intended use of the outlot. The Commission proceeded to review the City Engineer's report dated July 31, 1990. Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Thorud to approve the sketch plan for Northfork Park Addition and recommend that City Council grant final approval of the minor subdivision contingent upon compliance with items contained in the City Engineer's letter dated July 31, 1990 and upon the Developers and the City coming to an agreement regarding an appropriate covenant guaranteeing that Outlot A will remain for park purposes for perpetuity. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairman Zimmerman, Commissioners Deemer, Thorud, Bawden, and LaDue. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Terry and Hendriksen. Case #3: Request for sketch plan review of Northfork Trail Addition; case of North Fork, Inc, Mr. Dennis Peck stated that the minor subdivision of Northfork Trail Addition is a fulfillment of North Fork, Inc.'s commitment to convey to the homeowners and the City of Ramsey at least 80 acres in the Northeast quadrant of the property for park and trail. Mr. Peck stated that Outlots B, D, and E will be deeded to the City to complete the public trail corridor and Outlots A, C, F and G shall be deeded to the Northfork Homeowners Association as permanent open space. Outlot A consists of an upland meadow on which the residents plan to construct softball fields and other amenities. Again, the Homeowners Association is looking for assurance from the City that designation of Outlot A would not prohibit the construction of some recreational structures on the subject property. It is also anticipated that the Homeowners Association will desire vehicle access to Outlot A for construction and maintenance equipment and parking facilities. In addition, the Homeowners Association is looking for assurance that when the City develops the trail corridor on that section of property designated as Outlot D, that care will be given to minimize tree removal in that area. Mr. Peck noted that there has been some discussion with the City regarding designating the trail outlots with some type of language that would clarify that those outlots are intended to be Planning and Zoning Commission / August 7, 1990 Page 4 of 9
