Cit of Request for Action River To Item Number Planning Commission 4.4 Agenda section Meeting Date Prepared by Public Hearing November 25,2014 Jeremy Barnhart, De u 7 Director, COD Item Description Reviewed by Official map,Lot 4,Block 1,Mississippi Ridge Second Addition Reviewed by Action Requested Approve,by motion, the establishment of an official map to facilitate the improvement of an Yale Court 170'' street connection in the future. Background/Discussion The Focused Area Study (FAST) identified strategies to support existing businesses in the face of changes to Highway 10 access in the future. With the construction of Natures Edge Business Center, the extension of Twin Lakes Road, the anticipated loss of modification of existing access and intersections, the employment of these strategies becomes more necessary. One such strategy is the development of a frontage road system, linking a new signalized intersection at about 167`h to the existing signalized intersection at 171". The frontage road system will use part of Yale Court, 170`x', and the existing driveway easement along the front of businesses south of 170th. To complete this connection, one vacant lot will need to be purchased for street construction. This segment will support the connection of two controlled intersections at 171"and 167th. Minn. Stat. § 462.359, copy attached, authorizes cities to adopt "official maps" for future street construction. The purpose of the statute is to allow cities to identify areas for future street construction and to prevent or limit inconsistent development of the property. After the city has adopted a thoroughfare plan, i.e. transportation plan, the city may, by ordinance, adopt an official map of planned street construction. A public hearing before the City Council is required before the adoption. The official map must contain a detailed legal description of the exact corridor. Mapping does not give the city any ownership interest in the property snapped. Once a corridor has been mapped,if someone constructs a building or structure in the mapped area without a building permit the city does not have to compensate the owner for the building when the right-of-way is acquired. If the city denies a building permit or zoning approval because the area is officially mapped, the owner can appeal the decision to the City Council. The Council must grant approval if (1) the entire parcel cannot "yield a reasonable return to the owner" unless the permit is approved, (2) balancing the needs of the city and landowner approval is necessary in consideration of "justice and equity".
