Case #5: Request for Final Plat Approval of Duck Ridge; Case of Mike LeBlanc Community Development Director Frolik stated that Mike LeBlanc was requesting sketch plan review of a minor subdivision to replat Lot 1, Block 6, Peltzer Addition and Outlot A of Regency Pond into three urban residential lots; one existing homestead and two new lots for development. The subject project area is located at 14910 Garnet Street and north of 149th Lane. The project area is located within the MUSA and is zoned R-1 Residential. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low-density single-family development and low density has been established at three units per acre. The proposed plat reflects a net density of 2.3 units per acre, exclusive of wetland areas. The two newly created lots meet the minimum dimensional and area standards established in the R-1 Residential District. The plat will gain access from 149th Lane 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 connection 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. Motion can'ied. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Pearson, Cook, Kurak, Strommen, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberElvig. Case #6: Request for Easement Vacation in Sunfish Lake Business Park; Case of City of Ramsey Community Development Director Frolik stated that the City Council approved the final plat of Sunfish Lake Business Park 2nd Addition at their August 12, 2003 meeting. A portion of the Business Park was replatted to accommodate requests for smaller lots by prospective buyers. City Council/October 28, 2003 Page 10 of 18
