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. Wellington Management is the developer of the project. Lot 1, Block 1 of the first addition of the plat is the location of the senior housing project for Dominium.
The outlots of Lexington Meadows 1st Addition are being replatted to create two new lots and two new outlots to be known as Lexington Meadows 2nd Addition. The outlots will be used for commercial/industrial uses and right-of-way for 108th Avenue and Austin Street NE. There are no known tenants at this time.
This phase of development includes the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Austin Street and 108th Avenue. It includes the extension of Austin Street to the south and 108th Avenue to the east. Anoka County will need to be in agreement with the connection point on Lexington Avenue and this has been added as a condition of approval.
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.
A permit is required from the Rice Creek Watershed District.
The developer will need to pay park dedication for each lot as it develops at the rate in effect at that time. For the two new commercial lots being developed, a park dedication fee of $8,704 per acre will be required. The total acreage of the two new lots is 4.5 acres. The total park dedication fee for this plat is $39,168. This fee must be paid prior to the final plat mylars being released for recording purposes at Anoka County.
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.
Wellington will be responsible for all planting and maintenance of the landscaping in the right-of-way and underground irrigation must be provided for 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.
