• • • AGENDA ITEM VI. B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 14, 2010 TOPIC: PUD Final Plan/Final Plat: Preserve At Lino Lakes BACKGROUND The City Council granted preliminary approval for the "The Preserve" in August 2006 with Resolution 06 -137. The current owner of the project has chosen the name "Preserve At Lino Lakes ". This project is the second to implement the citywide greenway plan through the use of a conservation and low impact development principles. While these principles have been discussed often in Lino Lakes, only one other project (Foxborough) has utilized them to the extent of the design for Preserve At Lino Lakes. The Preserve is a Planned Unit Development (PUD). A PUD has two approval stages. The `development stage plan' includes the preliminary plat and establishes the design, conditions, and other elements for the project. The `final plan' includes the fmal plat and other fmal specifics that must fulfill the conditions attached to the preliminary stage approval. ANALYSIS The submitted fmal plat itself is generally consistent with the approved preliminary plat. A few important revisions are necessary, however. The trail must be shown and dedicated as park land and we are checking on one point regarding a ditch easement that was noted by our City Attorney as part of the review of the title. The City Engineer is preparing the development agreement. There are some pieces of information still lacking from the application as well. The approval of the PUD included a number of conditions to ensure implementation of the conservation development elements. Staff and the developer are communicating on the legal documents needed to enforce the conservation management plan. These include the conservation easement, including conditions of the easement, and other documents. All incomplete and missing elements must be completed before the fmal plat is brought to the City Council for approval. We may have some of this information for the P & Z meeting, but it was not submitted before this report was completed. We hope to have enough by then to support a recommendation from the P & Z Board.
