• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1G <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson <br />MEETING DATE: February 27, 2012 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 12 -15 <br />Extension of Time for Moon Marsh <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />In 2007 the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD) Development Stage Plan for the Moon Marsh project with Resolution No. 07 -142. The <br />site has not been developed, but the owner is still interested in pursuing the project. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Zoning Ordinance requires that a PUD Development Stage Plan be followed by the PUD <br />Final Plan application within twelve months under the zoning ordinance. Likewise, a final plat <br />must be submitted within one year of the preliminary plat approval under the subdivision <br />regulations. For a conditional use permit (CUP), construction must begin within one year of <br />approval. The project did not meet these deadlines due to the widespread slowdown in <br />development in the region, and the City has granted several extensions. The current submittal <br />deadline for the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat is April 1, 2011, and the recommendation is to extend <br />it to October 1, 2012. <br />The Moon Marsh site includes a high value natural resource area. Permanent open space is to be <br />created within the site that will be placed in a permanent conservation easement. The <br />preservation of open space on this site will be a step in the implementation of the City's larger <br />greenway vision, a foundation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve Resolution No. 12 -15 granting an extension of time for submittal of the PUD Final <br />Plan/Final Plat and for construction to begin under the Conditional Use Permit. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution Number 12 -15 <br />
