Case File:P 12-04 Plat of Jabez Page 3 In the review of the standards for Final Plat as outlined,it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. ANALYSIS Lot Configuration The plat of Jabez includes the replatting of 7 parcels into 1 lot and two outlots. Lot 1 is 17.73 acres and the two outlots are each 2 acres. Lot 1 houses the Cornerstone Auto Resource (fka Elk River Ford) and car wash. There is no development planned for outlots A and B currently. Comprehensive Plan The configuration of the plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The use of the property as a car dealership is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Focused Area Study The configuration of the plat is consistent with the 2010 Focused Area Study. The Focused Area study suggests that access to the properties being platted will like come from the south,via a new interchange at 167th. Outlots A and B will be prime lots when traffic shifts to the new interchange at 167th. Roads No new roads are proposed as part of this plat,although an additional 16.5 feet of right of way is to be provided along 171St. Lot 1 will be accessed off of 173rd from the north and 171st from the south. Future lots A and B will be accessed off of 171St and Ulysses. Fees Part of the reason the applicant delayed recording the plat was to defer the payment of the fees (park dedication and surface water management). During the review in 2006, the City Council agreed that the applicable land area subject to park dedication is 8.05 acres,rather than the 17.73 acres of lot 1. Using that ratio, the park dedication fee is $59,924.20 ($7,444 per acre). The surface water management fee, applied to the entire 17.73 acres,is 21,524.22 ($1,214/ acre). Payment of full park and storm water fees for future platting of Outlots A and will be required at the time the plat for those lots is released for recording. Parks Park Plan -The Comprehensive Park Plan does not indicate any park target area nor trail corridor in the wider area. Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation—The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat at their meeting on October 10th. The Park Commission recommends park dedication be based on 10% of the fair market value of the property, established by Council at$7,444 per acre, for the full 17.73 acres being platted as buildable lots. The Council may recall that the applicant successfully argued in 2006 that duly 8.05 acres of the 17.73 acres parcel were undeveloped and subject to the park dedication requirements. The applicable regulation may be found at section 30-327 (a) of the Elk River City Code. Grading/ Utilities No changes to grading or utilities are proposed with this plat.
