Background
Glimcher Northtown Venture, LLC is the owner of Northtown Mall. At this time Glimcher would like to replat part of the mall property into two new lots. Specifically, the applicant would like to make a new lot for the property on which the newer multitenant building containing Potbelly Sandwich, Chipotle and other tenants is located.
The proposed plat contains two lots. Lot 1 will be 35.66 acres and will contain parking and the actual mall building. Lot 2 will be 1.60 acres and will contain the Potbelly Sandwich/Chipotle multi-tenant building. It is the intent of Glimcher to sell the 1.6 acres and the multi-tenant building.
You will see that the property lines run through some parking areas and access drives. The two lots will share the access drive that surrounds the mall. The Zoning Ordinance requires a conditional use permit for these items and the applicant has made the appropriate application. The City will require a shared access and parking agreement and this must be submitted before the final plat mylars have been released for recording at Anoka County.
No park dedication is required for this plat as all fees have been paid by the property owner in previous years.
Jefferson Street, which lies to the east of the plat, has been expanded several times over the years. During the last expansion the City acquired additional right-of-way through a street and utility easement which runs into the eastern edge of both lots. With this plat, the easement, that was purchased by the City, should be shown as right-of-way. The older parking along the mall property (proposed Lot 1) actually extends to the Jefferson Street right-of-way line and therefore has been non-conforming for some time.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
