Item No: 10H Meeting Date: June 28, 2004 Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: ________ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View City Council From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 6289, Approving a Final Plat for the “Hidden Hollow” Major Subdivision; Planning Case MA2004-001 Introduction: Pro Craft Development, LLC, represented by Jim Melcher and Gary Nordness, has submitted an application for a major subdivision of parcels abutting the south side of County Road H2 between the City’s western City limits and the property addressed at 2946 County Road H2. The proposed 9.36-acre subdivision would create 17 buildable lots from the existing six lots. Pro Craft Development, LLC, has a purchase agreement with the private land owner and a purchase and redevelopment agreement with the City. Formerly known as The Woods of Mounds View, the Hidden Hollow preliminary plat represents the culmination of many months of planning, preparation and negotiation on the proposed residential redevelopment. Discussion: On May 10, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution 6250, which approved the preliminary plat of the Hidden Hollow major subdivision. All created parcels satisfy the minimum lot requirements. With the exception of enlarging easements on a few of the lots and showing only the required details, the final plat is no different than the preliminary plat. The resolution approving the final plat stipulates that before City signatures are placed on the final plat, the developer shall have paid the $40,767.00 park dedication fee. In addition, the resolution requires that several other requirements be completed prior to the City signing the final plat. Resolution 6289, which grants final plat approval, is attached. Joe Rhein, from Bonestoo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, reviewed the final plat and had comments regarding the enlargement of four easements within the Hidden Hollow lots. These changes are not reflected in the final plat that is attached to this report; however, the easement changes will be made to the final version signed by the City. Staff included these changes as a condition of final plat approval. The signature page on the attached final plat will be changed to reflect that the “Hidden Hollow” final plat will only be signed by Pro Craft and Cherokee State Bank. Due to the precise order in which documents need to be recorded, it has been advised that Pro Craft close on both the property owned by Mr. Blaine Fyksen and the property owned by the Mounds View Economic Development Authority before recording the final plat.
