Item No: 7A <br />Meeting Date: <br />Type of Business: <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 5607, a Resolution <br />Approving a Preliminary Plat for the Mounds View <br />Addition Major Subdivision. <br />Date of Report: August 20, 2001 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The applicant, Dan Hall, is requesting City re-approval of the preliminary plat for the <br />Mermaid Addition, a major subdivision associated with the Mermaid Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD). The plat groups together those parcels being utilized for Mermaid <br />expansion, which include the former Rent-All property, the Music-off-10 property, the <br />south 361 feet of the Mounds View Business Park South plat as well as the existing <br />Mermaid parcels. Altogether, the total area involved in the plat is 9.36 acres. The <br />preliminary plat was originally approved by the City Council on November 13, 2000. Due <br />to problems working out the acquisition details with the Boston-based Cabot Group, <br />owners of the business park parcel, the approved preliminary plat expired. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />This preliminary plat is consistent with Chapter 1202 of the Mounds View City Code <br />regarding subdivisions. The legal descriptions and property ownership information <br />appear to be in order, however a copy of the preliminary plat has been forwarded to the <br />City Attorney for his review. Before final plat approval, the City Attorney will complete a <br />plat review to ensure completeness. A copy of the plat has been forwarded to the County <br />for their review as well, however the County has not yet responded. <br /> <br />Plat Highlights: <br /> <br />• As mentioned above, this plat combines all of the properties involved in the <br />Mermaid PUD into one lot, Lot 1, Block 1, MERMAID ADDITION, and one outlot, <br />Outlot A, MERMAID ADDITION. The outlot would serve as the access drive to the <br />business park property to replace the existing access drive. <br /> <br />• The plat dedicates 120 feet of lateral right of way for County Road H south of the <br />former Rent All Parcel and 100 feet (9.5 feet deep) south of the Music Off 10 <br />parcel. It is not anticipated that the County will require any additional right of way. <br /> <br /> <br />• The plat dedicates a ten-foot drainage and utility easement around the perimeter
