Planning & Zoning Board August 11, 2004 Page 4 Staff stated Marshan Estates is a 5 -lot residential subdivision located adjacent to the existing Marshan Lane. The project also includes six outlots which are intended to be deeded to adjacent property owners to correct ambiguities in existing property descriptions. The City Council approved the preliminary plat on March 8, 2004. On July 26, 2004, the City Council approved the development agreement for the subdivision and ordered the extension of sanitary sewer and water infrastructure to service the development. The final plat conforms to the approved preliminary plat. The title commitment for the property has been forwarded to the City Attorney for review. As required under the conditions of preliminary plat approval, the developer has provided a 10 -foot pedestrian/bicycle easement along Lot 1, Block 1, adjacent to Lake Drive as well as a 20 -foot conservation easement adjacent to County Ditch No. 10. All park dedication, securities and fees have been submitted. All other conditions of approval will be met with building permit review of the new houses. Staff was recommending approval of the Final Plat for Elm Street Estates. Mr. Rafferty asked if the large pine trees in the main drive were going to be removed. Mr. Grochala replied there would be some pine removal along Lake Drive, but they were trying to preserve the pines on Marshan Lane. Mr. Studenski stated there would be some tree loss as the services and driveways get put in, but it would be minimal. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Final plat for Marshan Estates, 5 -lot residential subdivision located adjacent to Marshan Lane and was supported by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 4 -0. C. Final Plat for Crystal Cove, North Suburban Development, SW corner of Lake Drive and 79th Street Staff stated the City Council approved the preliminary plat for Crystal Cove with Resolution 03 -141 on September 8, 2003. This project involves developing Outlot B of Highland Meadows East, which is on the south side of 79th St. just west of Lake Drive. He indicated the final plat confomis to the approved preliminary plat. The development agreement is in progress and will be completed prior to City Council review. The City Attorney's review of the title commitment is underway and will be fully resolved prior to City Council consideration of the final plat. Conditions of approval will be addressed within the development agreement. He noted one additional issue requires resolution. An easement is needed on property to the south for a utility connection. This easement must be obtained with a deed from the adjacent property owner. This deed must be submitted for review prior to City Council review. He indicated they would normally require completion of this prior to P &Z review, but this can be dealt with before approval by the City Council.
