• • • AGENDA ITEM 6 B ii STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C.C. MEETING DATE: September 27, 2010 TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 10 -86 Extension of Time for The Preserve VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND In 2006 the City Council approved The Preserve, a residential subdivision. This approval included Ordinance 08 -06, a Rezone to Planned Unit Development (PUD); and Resolution 06- 137 approving a PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat A PUD development stage plan must be followed by the final plan application within twelve months. Likewise, a final plat must be submitted within one year of the preliminary plat approval. The project did not meet these deadlines due to the widespread slowdown in development in the region. The City extended the deadline with Resolutions 08 -109, 09 -77, and 10 -34. The recommendation is to extend the PUD final plan/final plat deadline once again. We did receive a final plat application though there are some pieces of information still lacking. Staff did bring it to the Planning & Zoning Board, which gave a recommendation based on receiving the missing pieces. All incomplete and missing elements must be submitted before the application is complete and the final plat is brought to the City Council for approval. The preservation of open space on this site will be an important step in the implementation of the City's larger greenway vision. The Preserve site includes a high value natural resource area that includes a major drainage through the southern part of Lino Lakes. Permanent open space is to be created behind most lots that extends for hundreds of feet. These areas are to be placed in a permanent conservation easement. The approval included a restoration and management plan for wetlands and other open space. A public trail also would be created. OPTIONS 1. Approve Resolution No. 10 -86 granting an extension for submitting the PUD -Final Plan/Final Plat. 2. Deny Resolution No. 10 -86. 3. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option 1
