! ! CASE 1 ~ · REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF NORTHFORK POINT ADDITION; CASE OF NORTH FORK, INC. I By: Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator and James Gromberg, Project Manager Background: Dennis Peck, Project Manager for Northfork PUD, is requesting preliminary plat approval of Northfork Point Addition. The plat consists of 60 acres proposed to be subdivided into one outlot and 20 single family rural residential lots averaging 1.9 acres each. Outlot A is proposed to be conveyed to the Homeowners Association. As was approved with Northfork 5th Addition, the developer is requesting that the City waive the requirement to name streets in accordance with the City's adopted grid pattern and that the required road pavement be decreased from 31 feet to 29 feet. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) Site location map Proposed preliminary plat Letter from Dennis Peck dated April 29, 1991 City Engineer's review letter dated May 2, 1991 Observations: On April 25, 1991, the City received an application from North Fork, Inc. for the plat of Northfork Point Addition. On May 7, 199I the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed preliminary plat. The developer requested that the paved portion of the streets be reduced from 31 feet to 29 feet to promote the country lane effect. The developer also requested that Yak Street be substituted with another sweet name beginning with the letter "Y". Northfork Point would be subject to the Northfork Park Dedication Agreement Addendum dated May 9, 1989 and therefore does not require a review by the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission. In accordance with that agreement, the area to be platted as Northfork Point is not subject to any park dedication requirements. This information was verified in a meeting between Dennis Peck and Bill Goodrich on May 3, 1991. It appeared that the wetland in the northeast comer of the plat may be part of a DNR protected wetland. The plat was forwarded to DNR for comment, and the verbal message from that agency is that the subject wetland is not a protected one. Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Northfork Point Addition with no variance from the required 31 feet of street pavement and allowing a substitute name for Yak Street. 7;1.
