The property is located in the southeast quadrant of C.S.A.H. #5 and Alpine Drive N.W. The subject property is approximately 50 acres in size and includes the City Hall campus, three existing residential lots to the south, and the Dental Office lot on the comer of Nowthen Blvd. and Alpine Drive. The final plat approved at that time proposed to create 46 new single family lots, replat and reduce the size of the 3 existing residential lots south of City Hall, replat the dental clinic parcel into two lots, and preserved 2 public/quasi-public sites. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Approved final plat of February 28, 2006 c) Proposed revised f'mal plat and site plan d) City Council meeting minutes dated February 28, 2006 e) City StaffReview Letter dated February 22, 2006, revised April 19, 2006 f) Engineering Memo dated April 20, 2006 from Leonard Linton to Keith Willenbring g) l?roposed resolution for revised final plat approval h) ~roposed development agreement Notification: Staff attempted to notify owners of property within 700 feet of the subject property of the preliminary plat public heating in November of 2005. No notification is required for final plats. Observations: As part of the final plat approval on February 28, 2006, the City Council noted the need to replace the Fire Department access to Alpine Drive. City Staff was directed to work with the Developer to provide for that access via the new segment of Helium Street to be constructed. City Staff reviewed the site plan and requested the Developer to implement the following: Construct a driveway from the Fire Department to Helium through Lot 21. City would retain ownership of Lot 21 and when the interim access is abandoned, the City has the option to develop the lot. The Developer would then be allowed to plat one additional lot in the plat to replace the lot dedicated to the City for access to Helium. The Development Agreement has been amended accordingly and specifies that construction shall be managed in a way that there shall be no interruption of Fire Department access to either Nowthen Blvd. or Alpine Drive. -285-
