Background
The City Council approved a Preliminary Plat for Oakwood Ponds (Excelsior Group) at the October 19, 2017 city council meeting. One of the parcels contained within the plat was the Biskey property at 4919 125th Avenue. The preliminary plat indicated that the parcel owned by Biskeys would be split at the ditch line with the Excelsior Group purchasing the north portion (shown as Parcel A) and the Biskeys retaining the south portion (shown as Parcel B) with their home and buildings.
The developer and the Biskeys would like to close on the property, however the Final Plat for this area is not yet ready to be processed. Both parties have asked the City to prepare and approve a resolution (Waiver of Platting) approving the new lot line consistent with the preliminary plat. Once this resolution has been approved it can be provided to the County and the Biskeys can close with the developer and sell the north portion of their property.
The recommended approval has a couple of conditions consistent with how property is final platted:
• The north parcel (Parcel A) that will be purchased by Excelsior Group to be combined at Anoka County with one of the other adjacent parcels now owned by the Excelsior Group.
• The south parcel (Parcel B) that will be retained by Biskey is to be included in the Final Plat for this area and re-platted as a Lot and Block as originally intended in the approved preliminary plat.
Park dedication will be handled for Parcel A at the time it is Final Platted. Parcel B will have park dedication requirements if it is ever subdivided and redeveloped in the future.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
