Background
Staff report prepared by Elizabeth Showalter, Community Development Specialist
Artis REIT began development of a vacant property located at the northwest corner of 85th Avenue (County Road J) and 35W Service Road earlier in 2021. The preliminary plat included three lots and right of way. A final plat was approved that included the lot for the first of three buildings and platted the remaining two lots as an outlot for future development. At this time, the remaining two lots are being final platted.
Park dedication for the platted lots becomes due at final plat approval based on the industrial rate in effect at the time of development. For the two lots being platted at this time, the total park dedication due at the 2021 rate of $6,702 per acre for 17 acres totals $113,934.
A RCWD permit is required for the proposed development.
The developer will be responsible for development custom grading, installation of additional required sanitary sewer and services, water main extension and services, storm drainage improvements, storm water quality treatment, mailboxes, and all appurtenant items.
Construction site grading, one acre or more, requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Construction Activity Permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) prior to construction. In order to obtain the permit, the developer is required to include temporary and permanent erosion protection and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs), and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) information on the development grading plan. A building permit will not be issued until a copy of the permit application and SWPPP are submitted to the City.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 21-056.
