Background
The City Council approved a preliminary plat for Lexington Meadows on May 3, 2018. This is the proposed development on the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue and 109th Avenue and Wellington Management is the developer of the project. Lot 1, Block 1 will be a senior housing project for Dominium.
The proposed final plat creates 1 new lot on the 80 acre parcel and three outlots. The outlots will be used for commercial/industrial uses/right-of-way/storm drainage and wetlands in the future. Other than Dominium’s project, there are no known tenants at this time.
Wellington Management will develop the entire project in phases when tenants are known in the future. Each use and lot in the project will require a conditional use permit so the Planning Commission and City Council will get to review each site in this development. As each phase develops the street system will also develop as necessary.
A permit is required from the Rice Creek Watershed District.
The developer and/or tenant of each lot will need to pay park dedication for each lot as it develops at the rate in effect at that time. For Lot 1, since it is a residential project, the park dedication fee is based on the residential rate of $4,320 per unit. There are 192 units in the Dominium project so a total of $829,440 will be required prior to issuance of a building permit for the senior housing project.
The developer will be responsible to pay for the connection charges associated with the sewer and water installed with city project 14-14. These charges will become due as each lot is developed with in the plat.
The developer will be responsible for the required improvements as depicted by Anoka County Highway Department for the street connections to Lexington Avenue (CSAH 17) and 109th Avenue (CSAH12). A permit will be required from the Anoka County Highway Department for any work performed with in the right-of-ways for Lexington Avenue and 109th Avenue.
A landscape plan has been provided that depicts the proposed landscaping within the right-of-way for the plat. Wellington will be responsible for all planting and maintenance of the landscaping in the right-of-way and underground irrigation must be provided to the landscaping.
A development agreement will be required prior to any work commencing on site. This agreement will include financial guarantees for the site work.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 18-77.
