Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The lot for Northern Asphalt/Gerhard Larson was approved/platted in 1999. However, the approved parcel only had access to the site through an easement (agreement) on an existing Connexus Energy parcel (southwest corner of site). Access to 101st Avenue through their own parcel, on the southeast corner of the site was not possible because of existing wetlands.
Connexus Energy will also be subdividing their property into two parcels to provide a land exchange. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a waiver of platting that will create a separate parcel for existing Northern Asphalt buildings/outside storage (Parcel D) and a lot that is 2.82 acres (Parcel C) which will be combined with the Connexus Energy parcel (Parcel B).
This is a fairly simple subdivision (boundary line adjustment) request which staff supports. In addition, park dedication is not required because it has already been paid on this land.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
