Memo to the Planning Commission/Morrell <br />May 27, 1997 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />· Developer sign a waiver of rights to appeal future assessment for sewer <br /> and water based on the new structure or the sufficiency of the existing <br /> well and septic. <br />· Developers agree to pay trunk water and sewer costs based on the <br /> determined rate for the eastern area. <br />· Developers agree to hook up to city sewer and'water within 2 years after <br /> service becomes available. <br /> <br />The proposed rezoning from light industrial to planned unit development can <br />be considered based on the following findings: <br /> <br />· The rezoning and proposed development is consistent with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan to establish an industrial corridor along 171st and <br /> the new north/south corridor. <br />· The rezoning will allow Morrell Transfer to move their operations from <br /> their current site at the corner of Jackson Avenue and School Street which <br /> poses a health and safety issue. <br />· The rezoning is consistent with the city's economic development strategy <br /> to promote business retention within the community. <br /> <br />Preliminar~ Plat <br /> <br />The preliminary plat includes about 25.5 acres bounded by 171st Avenue on <br />the north, Burlington Northern Railroad tracks on the east and undeveloped <br />property owned by Cargill on the west and south.' The proposal involves <br />platting the 25.5 acres into one lot. <br /> <br />The proposed plat shows the north boundary of the plat as the edge of the <br />right-of-way of 171st Avenue. The actual north boundary of the plat is 16 feet <br />south of the north line of S 1/2, NE 1/4, Section 11. The city owns the <br />property from the edge of the right-of-way to a line 16 feet south of the above <br />described line. The plat should be revised to show this. <br /> <br />The plat also includes a strip of land, approximately 700 feet long and 56 feet <br />wide, along the west side of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. The <br />strip is owned by Cargill and used to access their property on the east side of <br />the railroad tracks. The plat should be revised to show this. <br /> <br />Access to the property will be from 171st Avenue. Improvements to 171st <br />Avenue were included as part of the Lefebvre Companies developnient at the <br />corner of 171st Avenue and Ulysses Street. The property is currently <br />undeveloped but contains an unimproved dirt drive that Cargill uses to <br />access it's property on the east side of the railroad tracks. The railroad <br />crossing that is accessed by this drive is proposed to be eliminated as part of <br /> <br />f:\shrdoc\planningkscottkcu97-12.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
