AGENDA ITEM 7 D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C. C. MEETING DATE: October 14, 2002 TOPIC: ACTION: BACKGROUND Resolution 02-144 Final Plat and Allocation of MUSA Reserve Clearwater Creek 5th Addition 3/5 vote This is the last phase of the Clearwater Creek development, which received preliminary plat and rezoning approval in April 1999. The 5`h Addition includes 54 lots. The recent approval of the new comprehensive plan puts the site within a stage 1 growth area, eligible for MUSA. The 1999 approval indicated the intention to allocate MUSA to this site when MUSA became available. Approval of the comprehensive plan by the Metropolitan Council gives us the MUSA needed for this site. Final Plat: The City requires a number of things for a final plat approval. • Final plat must substantially conform to the approved preliminary plat, which it does. • Development agreement must be completed, including financial securities. We have a development agreement that was approved by the City Council on August 26, 2002, with Resolution 02-102. • Title commitment must be reviewed by City Attorney. This has been completed. • Conditions of approval must be met. Any conditions that have not been completed are addressed in the development agreement. MUSA: The approval of the project was several years ago (1999), and the timing of MUSA availability was unclear at that time. For these reasons, it is better to clearly allocate the intended MUSA by a formal resolution now that we actually do have MUSA available. There are 20.8 acres of upland in the area to be platted as Clearwater Creek 5th Addition. Therefore, the resolution allocates 20.8 acres of MUSA reserve. OPTIONS 1. Approve Resolution 02-144 approving the final plat of Clearwater Creek 5th Addition and allocating 20.8 acres of MUSA reserve. 2. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option 1
