COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Request for Extension to Submit Final Plat for Summerset Meadows Subdivision; Case of Summerset Meadows LLC Ass't Community Development Dir/HRA Executive Dir. Frolik stated on October 25, 2005, the City Council granted preliminary plat to Summerset Meadows, a residential subdivision located south of Alpine Drive and west of Armstrong Blvd. Under City Code, a final plat must be submitted no later than one year after preliminary plat approval. In order for the preliminary plat to be valid after the one -year time limit, the City Council can grant a time extension to the applicant. The developer of Summerset Meadows, LLC has submitted a request to the City Council to extend the time limit to submit a final plat for their project to October 25, 2007. In their letter, the developer has indicated the need to reevaluate the site plan given the considerable decline in the marketability of multi - family units and the introduction of the Ramsey Crossing commercial development on the eastern side of the Summerset Meadows subdivision. Ms. Frolik advised staff recommends adoption of the resolution granting a one -year extension to submit a final plat for the Summerset Meadows subdivision. Mayor Gamec inquired if the right -of -way for the extension of CR 116 will be acquired through this final plat. Public Works Director Olson replied the City has purchased the northern 70 feet of the Adolfson Peterson property for the future extension of Bunker Lake Boulevard. The Ramsey Crossings project is an extremely fast paced project and it would definitely be necessary to acquire the additional right -of -way in order to extend the road. City Administrator Norman requested clarification whether the right -of -way would be up to the proposed Mississippi River Corridor or all the way through to the property on the west. Public Works Director Olson replied eventually the right -of -way would be needed all the way to the proposed Mississippi River crossing. At this time there is not a great need for anything past the first north/south crossing identified in the preliminary plat, which would align from the Ramsey Crossings main entrance into the Ramsey Crossings site. Mayor Gamec indicated it would be beneficial to obtain the right -of -way for the road extension. City Attorney Goodrich advised the Council could request that the right -of -way dedication be included as part of this continuation; however, it cannot be a contingency because there has already been preliminary plat approval.
