Background
The final plat that has been submitted consists of 4 single family lots and 6 outlots for future development and ponding. There are no extensions of roadway or utilities triggered with this plat. The plat does however provide the right-of-way for the future extension of Woodland Parkway towards Lexington Avenue as the right-of-way creates the boundary between the different land uses and outlots that will being platted for future development.
The Lexington Avenue access (Woodland Parkway/123rd Avenue) will in the future access the west side of the plat just to the north of the electric substation property and is aligned with the future extension of Lakes Parkway that will also connect to Lexington Avenue at some point in the future. It is envisioned that this would be a controlled intersection at some point in the near future. As the project moves forward additional discussions will be had with Anoka County Highway Department to determine the extent of the improvements and the timing of installation.
A second access already exists once Woodland Parkway is extended from the south edge of the Plat.
The 4 single family lots on 121st Avenue have been designed to fit the house pad requirements similar to the other existing homes on 121st Avenue. The lot sizes and home plans that are proposed are similar in design and nature to those currently being built in Woodland Village. Lots are typically 80-feet in width. Lot depths are typically 125 feet.
Park dedication will be required with the platting of each new lot. The Lexington Athletic Complex (LAC) currently being built just to the southwest of this Plat is located on 40 acres that were purchased from the applicant. An element of that purchase relied on future park dedication as a credit for what the City owes on the balance of the purchase (currently $1.4 Million). The Park Dedication that will then be due from the platting of the four (4) lots will be established as a credit against the $1.4 Million that is owed by the City. Also consistent with the park purchase agreement the 2011 park rate of $2,435 per residential lot/unit will be used to calculate the credit. Future lots that are final platted will also be calculated as a park credit in the same manner.
The purchase agreement for the LAC park purchase also outlined that WAC payments would also be used as part of the credit on park dedication payments. This will be further identified and called out in the Development Agreement.
