Background
At this time the applicant is requesting the approval of a final plat for the 9th Addition of Quail Creek, which contains 14 single family lots and one outlot.
The lots in the plat all meet the minimum lot size, lot depth and lot width requirements of the R-1AA (Single-Family) zoning district. The outlot is 24.54 acres and it is anticipated that it will be further developed with single family homes in the future. A concept plan has been provided that indicates how that development could occur, and it also indicates that 132nd Avenue will continue to the southeast and a connection will be made with an extension of the Quail Creek Parkway which will extend east to the adjacent property.
Park dedication for this plat is required prior to release of the plat for recording at Anoka County. The park dedication fee is $2,813 per lot or $39,382 for 14 new lots.
A permit from the Coon Creek Watershed District will be required prior to any grading work on site.
The site and individual lots will be mass graded and there will be significant tree loss as the site is heavily wooded. The City's Tree Preservation ordinance requires replacement for a portion of those trees at the rate of seven (7) trees per acre. The disturbed area for the plat has been shown as seven acres which results in 49 replacement trees. These trees can be replaced by planting them on the lots (three trees per lot would be 42 trees). The remaining seven trees can be planted in the development, based on a plan approved by the City, or a payment can be made by the developer to the City's reforestation fund for the remaining trees.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 13-076.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
