DATE: 6/4/2024
CONSENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sophia Jensen, City Planner
ITEM: Inwood 7th Addition Request for Extension of Time to Record Final Plat
BACKGROUND:
On December 6th 2022, the City Council approved a final plat for Inwood 7th Addition via
Resolution 2022-114. Pursuant to Lake Elmo City Code, the final plat will become void if not
recorded within 180 days (June 4th 2023).
The City Council granted a time extension on May 16th 2023 via Resolution 2023-050 for a period
of one year (June 4th 2024). The applicant is requesting a six month extension to complete
financing for the project.
ISSUE BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL:
The City Council is being asked to consider a request for approval of additional time for the
developer to record the final plat.
TIME EXTENSION REQUEST – REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:
City Code Requirements
Section 103.00.100.b.7 of the City Code contains the requirements for approving additional time
for recording a final plat.
7. Recording final plat. If the final plat is approved by the council, the subdivider shall record it
with the county recorder within 180 days after the approval. If not filed within 180 days, approval
of the final plat shall be considered void, unless a request for time extension is submitted in
writing and approved by the council. The subdivider shall, immediately upon recording, furnish
the administrator with two paper prints and one reproducible film positive of the plat showing
evidence of the recording. No building permits shall be issued for construction of any structure on
any lot in the plat until the city has received evidence of the plat being recorded by the county.
Request Details
The developer’s request indicates that they are working to meet the conditions of final plat
approval, the remaining condition is related to the Letter of Credit and project financing and a Pre-
Construction meeting. Staff supports the request for a time extension to submit the final plat as the
applicant has made progress on the other conditions. This time extension request does not change
the City’s final plat approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
2
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, as part of the consent agenda, the requested time
extension for submission of the final plat the Inwood 7th Addition. This approval grants the
developer until December 4, 2024 to record the final plat.
“Move to approve the requested time extension to December 4th, 2024 to record the final plat for
the Inwood 7th addition.”
