I I I I I I I I I I I I Oouncil proceeded to review the proposed development agreement. City Attorney Goodrich stated that Council has given preliminary approval to this P.U.D. Public improv~ents include construction of streets, 169th Avenue N~ and Iodine Street N~, in acoordance with the City of Ramsey; developer is required to submit to the City escrow and guarantee street construction. Developer bas petitioned for bonds for local improvements and Council will not be acting on that tonight -- that issue will proceed on it's own merits and is a separate process. ~here is no park land dedication fee; Ck)uncil agreed that the proposed plat contains over 100 acres of land to be utilized as golf course and the fee was waived. Developer is asking that existing park, White Pines, be vacated to become a part of the golf course. Developer is asking that a ~all section of dedicated street also be vacated. Ordinances are being introduced tonight for the rezoning to P.U.D. and vacation of park and street section. Outlots on the northern 1/2 would be conveyed from the developer to the City and the City in turn, is being asked to convey that property to Wes Bulen's group which is constructing the golf course. When the developer conveys to the City those outlots, he will be observing an easement such that homes will have future right to use golf course fairway in t_he event of septic syst~ failure. When property is conveyed to Bulen's group from the City, by ordinance, the City will retain a reservation on that conveyance such that the golf course will r(~ain a public golf course at all times; we have asked for a restriction that the golfing cost charged be no greater than average golfing costs metro wide. Golf course developer will be proposing an alternative to cash payment for White Pines; Council will not be addressing that tonight but it is addressed in the develolz~ent agreament. DeveloI~ent agre~ent also provides for restrictive covenance and some additional items the City would like addressed in that covenance is fences and grooming of entire yards, junk cars, outside storage, home size (1200 sq. ft. minimt~ excluding bas~ents, porches and garages), accessory buildings. Mr. Goodrich stated that the developers have certain ~-~, tax wise, to have the plat recorded by December 31, 1984. ~he City is not able to say that the plat is finalized because the ordinance cannot be adopted until the second Council meeting in December and then the ordinances does not become effective until 30 days after publication. ~e developer is asking for some device to allow him to have the plat filed but have it restricted so that no building permits be issued until the zoning ordinance is effective.
