Planning Commission / P OG-OG April 11, 2006 Page 3 Preliminary Plat The preliminary plat proposes to plat 21.82 acres into one lot and 2 oudots. Lot 1 will include the Elk River Foxd dealership. The two oudots will be platted into 4 commercial lots as some point in the future. Access The existing access points from Highway 10 will be removed. The new access driveways will be off of 171St and 173`d Avenues. Additional access information is included under the conditional use permit. Grading, Drainage and Utility Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed under the conditional use permit. Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission recommended cash to meet the park dedication requirement. These properties have not previously been platted, so as indicated in Section 30-327, they are not exempt from park dedication requirements and will require park dedication for the entire 17.67-acre lot. Outlot-A and Outlot-B will require park dedication when they are platted. A recent example of this requirement is the Carson Business Center, which consisted of three metes and bounds described properties, one which contained a commercial building and another contained a bill board. These three properties were combined into one plat (Carson Business Center) in which park dedication was paid for the entire plat. The basic intent of park dedication is that all non-platted properties within the city pay their one time share of dedication to fund the acquisition of or improvements to the City's park system. Extension of Preliminary Plat Apur~l Should the preliminary and final plat fox Jabez be approved, the applicant is requesting a 3 year extension of preliminary plat approval for Outlots A and B. The applicant is proposing to final plat the oudots in phases over three years. The subdivision ordinance states that if a plat is to be final platted in phases, failure to submit for final plat fox each phase within one year of the previous final plat approval shall cause the preliminary plat to become null and. void. The ordinance allows for the extension of the plat approval provided that there is a finding that that good cause exists for the extension of the preliminary plat approval. Staff feels that waiting for the commuter rail station to develop and the City's "Gateway Business Centex" to develop are good causes for the extension.
