MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 27, 2003 Lots 1 through 5 of Block 1 fail to make accommodation for right of way located outside of the Williams Bros. pipeline easement in accordance with the conditions of the Preliminary Plat approval. 9. Preserve Trail has not been centered on the parcel it is being created from as required by the conditions attached to the Preliminary Plat approval. 10. On the Final Plat submitted for approval on June 12, 2003, Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 (now numbered as Lots 14 and 15, Block 1) have not been combined, as required by a condition of Preliminary Plat approval. 11. Lot 15 does not comply with the City's Pipeline Setback policy that calls fora 50 setback for principal structures from an existing pipeline easement. 12. The proposed Final Plat submitted on June 12, 2003 is substantially out of complia~rce with the requirements of the Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District with regards to encroachment into the 75-foot wide wetland buffer zone, placing the efforts to protect the wetland in jeopardy. The plat would create encroachments that are significantly greater than the averaging approach allowed by the Watershed District. 13. Although the applicant has had continued discussions with Watershed District staff, final documents demonstrating compliance with Watershed District requirements have not been submitted nor approved by the Watershed District, nor have those documents been submitted for review to the City. Conclusion: The proposed Final Plat differs substantively from the approved Preliminary Plat that was reviewed extensively by the City and the public at the public hearings. The changes go far beyond the requirements and conditions attached to the Preliminary Plat approval. The differences result in a need to hold a new public hearing on the revisions to the Preliminary Plat prior to action on the Final Plat. The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle.
