Pursuant to Lake Elmo City Code, the final plat will become void if not <br />recorded within 180 days (June 4th 2023). <br /> <br />The City Council granted a time extension on May 16th 2023 via Resolution 2023-050 for a period <br />of one year (June 4th 2024). The applicant is requesting a six month extension to complete <br />financing for the project. <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL: <br />The City Council is being asked to consider a request for approval of additional time for the <br />developer to record the final plat. <br /> <br />TIME EXTENSION REQUEST – REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: <br />City Code Requirements <br />Section 103.00.100.b.7 of the City Code contains the requirements for approving additional time <br />for recording a final plat. <br />7. Recording final plat. If the final plat is approved by the council, the subdivider shall record it <br />with the county recorder within 180 days after the approval. If not filed within 180 days, approval <br />of the final plat shall be considered void, unless a request for time extension is submitted in <br />writing and approved by the council. The subdivider shall, immediately upon recording, furnish <br />the administrator with two paper prints and one reproducible film positive of the plat showing <br />evidence of the recording. No building permits shall be issued for construction of any structure on <br />any lot in the plat until the city has received evidence of the plat being recorded by the county. <br />Request Details <br />The developer’s request indicates that they are working to meet the conditions of final plat <br />approval, the remaining condition is related to the Letter of Credit and project financing and a Pre- <br />Construction meeting. Staff supports the request for a time extension to submit the final plat as the <br />applicant has made progress on the other conditions. This time extension request does not change <br />the City’s final plat approval. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION:
