ITEM #:7
TO: City Council
ITEM: Hammes Estates 2nd Addition Final Plat Extension
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
BACKGROUND:
Hammes Estates 2nd Addition received final plat approval by the City Council with the adoption of
Resolution 2017-003 on January 3, 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.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
The Council is respectfully requested to consider a request by Rachel Development for a Final Plat
Extension for the Hammes 2nd Addition Final Plat.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The Hammes 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. The developer
wants to record the plat once the construction of the 1st Addition is about complete, which will likely be
late spring, or early summer, weather depending. This would likely put the recording of the plat beyond
the 120 days of final plat approval. The developer is requesting an extension to record the final plat to
August 15th.
See attached letter from applicant) and is requesting the final plat be extended through August
15, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
OPTIONS:
The Council may:
• Approve the request for Final Plat Extension.
• Deny the request for Final Plat Extension.
