Agenda - Planning Commission - 12/04/2003

Home

P28 NW, an existing dead-end street that significantly exceeds the 600-foot length restriction. This is not a desirable situation, especially with potential for development of two new residences on the north side of this street. The City is interested in connecting 149th Avenue NW and Garnet Street NW at some point in the future and eliminating the dead-end cul-de-sacs. However, topography is such that the majority of the future right of way for the logical connect/on of 149th and Garnet will require the cooperation of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, owner of Lot 2, Block 6, Peltzer Addition. Per City staff's recommendation, there is a remnant of property adjacent to the 149th cul-de-sac bulb that is proposed to be platted as Outlot B. The development agreement will require that this outlot be deeded to the City to facilitate any future right of way that may be needed for the connection of 149th and Garnet. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the sketch plan. Motion by Councilmember Pearson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution #03-10-290 approving the final plat of Duck Ridge contingent upon compliance with the City staff review letter dated October 24, 2003.
