Background
The applicant, Larry Swanson, is proposing infill development on 117th Avenue, just west of State Highway 65. Aside from the easternmost proposed lot, the parcel of land in question has remained undeveloped as all property around it has been developed into single family housing.
The parcel being platted is 1.14 acres in size. The proposed plat, to be known as Swansons Addition, consists of 4 single family lots. All four lots meet the minimum lot size requirement for the R-1 Zoning of 10,000 square feet, as well as all setback minimums stipulated by Section 29.30 of the Zoning Ordinance. There is one existing home that will remain, and it meets all required setbacks for the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district.
Park dedication is required for the 3 newly platted lots at the rate of $3,744 per lot, for a total park dedication requirement of $11,232. This payment must be made prior to release of final plat mylars for recording at Anoka County.
Sanitary sewer to serve the plat is located on Taylor Street, north of 117th Avenue. The Developer will need to install the sanitary sewer under 117th Avenue by means of horizontal boring so the surface of 117th Avenue is not disturbed. The existing house is currently served by a septic tank. This lot will be required to connect to the City sanitary sewer system with the project.
Water main to serve the plat is in 117th Avenue. The Developer will be required to connect to an existing hydrant lead at the east end of the site and extend a water main along the boulevard to serve the proposed homes so the surface of 117th Avenue is not disturbed. The existing house is currently connected to City water.
The plat proposes to drain to an infiltration basin on the south side of the plat. This plat will require a permit from the Coon Creek Watershed District prior to any construction activity or issuance of building permits.
Trunk sanitary sewer area charges come due with the plat. The 2016 rate for the West Central Sanitary Trunk area is $4,073 per acre, and there are 1.14 acres for a total charge of $4,643. Trunk storm sewer area charges come due with the plat. The 2016 rate for the West Central Storm Trunk area is $11,144 per acre and for 1.14 acres, the total charge is $12,704. The parcel has paid one lot of water lateral charges, so three lots will become due with platting. The 2016 rate is $3,949 per lot for a total charge of $11,847. These charges must be made prior to release of final plat mylars for recording at Anoka County.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 15-169.

By motion, approve the Resolution.
