PLAN AND FINAL PLAT FOR MOON MARSH
WHEREAS, on September 10, 2007 the City Council granted approvals for the Moon Marsh
project with Resolution 07 -142 approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit
Development and PUD Development Plan/Preliminary Plat; and
WHEREAS, Section 2, Subd. 10.F.8.g. of the City's Zoning Ordinance, requires that a PUD -
final plan be submitted within one year of approval of the PUD - development stage plan but
allows an extension for six month intervals, and the extension can be approved after the deadline
date passes; and
WHEREAS, Section 1001.055 of City Code (Subdivision Regulations) requires a final plat be
submitted within one year of approval of the preliminary plat unless an extension is requested
and for good cause is granted by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Section 2, Subd. 2.B.11. of the City's Zoning Ordinance states that if construction
has not begun within one year of approval of a conditional use permit the permit is void; and
WHEREAS, the City granted extensions with Resolution Nos. 08 -106, 09 -78, 10 -35, 10 -87, 11-
31, 11 -96 and 12 -15; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is good cause to grant an extension because the
economic conditions of the real estate market have affected development nationally, regionally,

changes to the proposed Planned Unit Development.

AGENDA ITEM 1G
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
MEETING DATE: March 11, 2013
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 13 -32
Extension of Time for Moon Marsh
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
In 2007 the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and Planned Unit Development
(PUD) Development Stage Plan for the Moon Marsh project with Resolution No. 07 -142. The
site has not been developed, but the owner is still interested in pursuing the project.
BACKGROUND
The Zoning Ordinance requires that a PUD Development Stage Plan be followed by the PUD
Final Plan application within twelve months under the zoning ordinance. Likewise, a final plat
must be submitted within one year of the preliminary plat approval under the subdivision
regulations. For a conditional use permit (CUP), construction must begin within one year of
approval. The project did not meet these deadlines due to the widespread slowdown in
development in the region, and the City has granted several extensions. The current submittal
deadline for the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat is April 1, 2013, and the recommendation is to extend
it to October 1, 2013.
The Moon Marsh site includes a high value natural resource area. Permanent open space is to be
created within the site that will be placed in a permanent conservation easement. The
preservation of open space on this site will be a step in the implementation of the City's larger
greenway vision, a foundation of the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 13 -32 granting an extension of time for submittal of the PUD Final
Plan/Final Plat and for construction to begin under the Conditional Use Permit for Moon Marsh.
