Planning Commission Action
The planning commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting. There were no comments at public hearing.
Background
There is an existing 2.79 acre parcel that is currently owned by Forman Properties, Inc. on the north side of 101st Avenue. The applicant, Menards, is proposing to split the existing lot into two parcels.
The small parcel (Tract A) would be combined with the Menards property to the north. Once this lot split takes place, Tract A will be re-platted as an outlot with the Menards parcel to the north and used for storm ponding. The larger parcel of 1.79 acres (Tract B), with the existing building will be retained by Forman Properties.
No park dedication will be due with this waiver as the newly created parcel (Tract A) will be platted as an outlot for storm ponding on the Menards site. A 10’ wide easement must be placed over the existing storm sewer pipe that runs through the property.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
