The plat includes a large outlot, designated as "outlot B", along the eastern edge of the plat boundary. This area consists of wetland and upland that is separated from the remainder of the proposed plat, but abuts the rear yards of all or part of 7 lots in Kohlman Lake Overlook, a plat in the City of Maplewood. The applicant had discussed the potential of selling a portion of this area to the adjoining properties in Maplewood. At this time, there does not appear to be a proposal to do so. Planning staff is concerned about the creation of an outlot that has no access. The Subdivision Ordinance does not permit the creation of parcels that are "remnants". This area should be designed in such a way as to combine it with adjoining property, either within the proposed plat (by extending proposed lot lines for Lots 6 and 7, or other abutting property outside of the this plat. Summary and Recommendation The proposed preliminary plat is generally consistent with City policies for the anticipated future development of the subject site with a few exceptions. Planning staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Resolution of detached garage on Lot 1. 2. Design and shape of the proposed ponding area. 3. Landscaping of the proposed ponding area and infiltration basin. 4. Conservation easement and markers at the wetland edge. 5. Resolution of the ownership and use of outlot B. pc.
