CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 01/28/2014 By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development 4. 6. Information Title Consider Approvals Related to a Revised Final Plat for COR THREE 1. Adopt Resolution #14-01-015 Vacating Easements Within Outlot D, Ramsey Town Center 8th Addition 2. Adopt Resolution #14-01-016 Granting Revised Final Plat Approval for COR THREE Purpose/Background: On July 10, 2012, the City Council approved the final plat known as COR THREE. The original approval included 17 single-family lots. Work had begun on required Stage I Improvements, which are the required public infrastructure components. The preliminary grading and stormwater infrastructure component are part of Stage I Improvements. During grading activities on a portion of the site, soils inadequate for building construction were encountered. The property is owned by the Ramsey Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Upon review of the costs to remediate the structural soils, the HRA chose to remove thirteen (13) of the seventeen (17) lots included in the original approval of COR THREE. The remaining four (4) lots are located on Outlot D, Ramsey Town Center 8th Addition. The City is being asked to vacate existing easements on the parcel to be replaced on the new plat to avoid duplication and overlap of easements. Included in this case is consideration by the City Council to remove thirteen (13) lots from the approved COR THREE plat. Ultimately, this addition of COR THREE will now only include four (4) lots. The remaining property could be reviewed for appropriate use at a future date. Notification: No notification is required at this stage. Staff attempted to notify surrounding property owners via Standard US Mail in accordance with State Statute and City Code requirements with the Preliminary Plat in 2012. Observations/Alternatives: Alternative # 1. Approve the Final Plat as presented. This alternative is in compliance with the Preliminary Plat approval and HRA direction. Approval of these resolutions will allow the Plat to be recorded with clean title. Alternative #2. Approve a revised version of the Final Plat. At this point, the Final Plat is consistent with infrastructure installed to service the area (streets, sidewalks, utilities, etc.). Alternative #3. Deny the request. Funding Source: Preparation of the Final Plat was completed by the HRA. Review of the Final Plat is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of both resolutions.
