Background
Kayak Remodeling and Redevelopment is proposing an infill plat on a 2.39 acre property that is on the southeast corner of 89th Avenue and Baltimore Street. The proposal required a rezoning for a portion of the property and approval of a preliminary plat that was granted by the City Council at the April 17th City Council meeting.
Final Plat
The proposed plat contains six lots and will be known as Madelyn Cove. The existing duplex will remain on Lot 1 and all setbacks are met for that structure and the accessory structure in the rear yard. All of the lots meet the minimum lot size requirement in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts.
Park dedication will be required for the 5 new lots being proposed within Madelyn Cove. Please note the developer does not need to pay park dedication for the Lot 1 as it is an existing structure that has already paid this fee. The City's current park dedication rate for single family lots is $3,094 per unit. A total park dedication fee of $15,470 would become due prior to final plat mylars being released to the developer for recording at Anoka County.
It was noticed on the plan that the developer intends to plant only one tree on each lot, and the City's normal landscaping requirements for the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district is two trees per lot. Additionally, most of the site's 59 trees will be removed as part of site grading. Based on the City's tree preservation requirements 15 of those will need to be replaced. This can be accomplished by planting three (3) trees per lot.
This plat proposes to have four new driveways access 89th Avenue. Currently 89th Avenue is contained inside of Minnesota Department of Transportation right-of-way and as such MNDoT has reviewed the proposed plat and prepared a review letter. The developer will need to obtain all necessary MNDoT permits to allow for the construction of the driveways and the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain to each lot. The City and MNDot are currently reviewing the process to turnback a portion of MNDoT right-of-way that contains 89th Avenue to the city.
Developer will need to obtain a Coon Creek Watershed permit prior to commencing any site grading.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
