• • AGENDA ITEM 6 D ii STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C. C. MEETING DATE: August 22, 2005 TOPIC: Resolution 05 -121: Final Plat, Foxborough (Formerly Fox Den Acres) VOTE: 3/5 BACKGROUND The developer has changed the name of this project from Fox Den Acres to Foxborough. The City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Fox Den Acres planned unit development on January 10, 2005 with Resolution 04 -196. This project is the first to implement the new parks and open space plan through the use of a conservation development. The conservation development approach, while often discussed in Lino Lakes in the past, has not previously been pursued to the extent being seen on this project. The total site is 50 acres and the permanent open space will include 28 acres, about 56 %. The preservation of open space on this site will be an important step in the implementation of the community's greenway vision. The approval of the PUD included a number of conditions to ensure implementation of the conservation development elements. These include the conservation easement conditions and the association declarations and by laws, which will dictate how the City and the association will work together to implement an overall conservation plan. The overall conservation plan lays out what actions must occur to conserve and restore specified natural features of the site. The homeowners association will prepare annual implementation plans. The City will review each annual implementation plan to make sure they are consistent with the overall conservation plan. An escrow account will be established by the developer. Homeowners in the development contribute to this fund annually. The City will release money to the homeowners association for their annual implementation plans. The final plat itself is consistent with the approved preliminary plat. The City Attorney has reviewed the title commitment. The City Engineer has prepared the development agreement. The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed this final plat on August 10 and recommended approval.
