AGENDA ITEM: Boulder Ponds 2nd Addition Final Plat Extension
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director
THROUGH: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
BACKGROUND:
Boulder Ponds 2nd Addition received final plat approval by the City Council with the adoption of Resolution 2016-041 on May 17, 2016. Chapter 153.08, Subd. (B)(4) requires the final plat to be recorded within 120 days after approval or it shall be considered void unless a request for extension is submitted by the applicant and approved by the City Council.
This agenda item is not related to the potential future PUD Amendment for additional density related to Boulder Ponds senior housing.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
The Council is respectfully requested to consider a request by Deb Ridgeway of OP4 Boulder Ponds, LLC
for a Final Plat Extension for the Boulder Ponds 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The Boulder Ponds 2nd Addition final construction plans are approved by the City Engineer, and developer
agreement was approved by the City Council and is awaiting execution by the developer.
Late this summer, the developer decided it was important to complete the connection of 5th Street to the
Inwood Development to better attract interest in their development. These plans have been prepared and
approved by the City Engineer. A separate Site Work agreement has been executed for that portion of the
work.
The applicant is requesting the extension because they delayed the project due to slow sales during the first half of the year. The developer intends to start construction of the 2nd phase during the winter months (see attached letter from applicant) and is requesting the final plat be extended through May 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
5th Street. The 2nd Phase of Boulder Ponds will now include a vital connection of 5th Street to
the Inwood development.
