Background
The applicant, Aldi, Inc. is proposing to re-plat Lots 1 and 3 Block 1 Mills Addition. The two existing parcels are approximately 33 acres combined. The applicant is working with the property owner, in order to adjust the west and north property line. The lot line adjustments will provide a useable lot for the grocery type use they are proposing.
The applicant proposes to use the property as an Aldi Food Market after the platting process is complete. The proposed building will be 17,825 square feet.
Originally, Lot 3 was platted by the property owner with the intent to sell the parcel in the future. The applicant and property owner now wish to re-plat Lot 1 and 3 Block 1 Mills Addition. The re-platting and additional area of Lot 2 Block 1 (2.23 acres) Mills Second Addition provides a more substantial and wider parcel to construct a grocery store. Lot 1 Block 1 with the existing Mills Fleet Farm building and associated parking will be 30.55 acres.
Lot 2 of the proposed plat is served with sanitary sewer and water services. A separate domestic water service is required from the fire line. An 8" diameter water main is required for the site to serve an on-site fire hydrant and the building fire line. Water availability charge (WAC) and sewer availability charge (SAC) become due with the building permit application.
This application requires Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) review and permit prior to any work being performed on site. The developer must have RCWD approval prior to the plat being released for recording with Anoka County.
The developer will need to contact the Anoka County Highway Department to verify if a permit is required for work along Lexington Avenue.
The developer is required to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II permit from the MN Pollution Control Agency. A copy of the permit application and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program must be sent to the City. Site approval will not be granted and no work performed on site until receipt of this information.
Dedication of drainage and utility easements are required over storm water detention basin and on all lot lines.
Park dedication was previously paid when the parcel was platted with Mills Addition in 2007.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 15-084.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
