MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Manager <br />FROM: Director of Community Development <br />SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat <br />LOCATION: 2830 Keller Parkway <br />APPLICANT: Richard J. Anderson <br />OWNERS: Richard J. Anderson and Frank Frattalone <br />PROJECT: Gervais Overlook <br />DATE: December 29, 1981 <br />SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL <br />Approval of a preliminary plat for twenty detached single - dwelling homes <br />CONCLUSION <br />Analysis <br />Several neighboring property owners have expressed concern that development of <br />this site will intensify local water problems. On the contrary, local flooding <br />and drainage concerns are being addressed by the provision of an on -site storm <br />water retention pond. This pond will also serve as an integral part of the <br />County Ditch seven improvement project, scheduled for construction in the <br />summer of 1982. <br />The property owner to the north, Sanford Brink, is concerned that the proposed <br />II would eliminate the future development of the southern portion of his <br />property. (See Map two.) Little Canada reviewed the issue on December 9, 1981. <br />Their response (enclosed letter) was that Mr. Brink would have to pay any costs <br />that would accrue to Little Canada to develop an access feasibility study. To <br />date, Mr. Brink has not contacted Little Canada to initiate such a study. <br />Staff is opposed to creating_a border street,, requiring cooperative construction, <br />maintenance and billing agreements, between the two cities to provide Mr. Brink the <br />opportunity to create only four lots. Since so few potential lots are involved, <br />and it is in the public good to avoid the creation of border streets wherever <br />possible, the issue should be settled between the two land owners. <br />The applicant has offered to purchase the 500 by 150 foot parcel. Mr. Brink <br />was not interested. The applicant has also offered to allow for a north -south <br />street access to this property. In so doing, the applicant would lose one lot <br />and add 180 feet of nonbenefiting street and utility improvements to his plat. <br />Mr. Brink's response was to compensate the applicant for only the loss of one <br />lot, expecting the applicant to extend the improvements at his own expense. <br />The applicant declined the compensation proposal. <br />Furthermore, the applicant has complied with Staff's request to extend proposed <br />Beam Avenue to provide access to the landlocked parcel abutting to the east. <br />RgT2avt; <br />JAN 4 loon <br />CITY OF <br />
