EOty1� ,.,�� Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 10.3 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Work Session July 3, 2017 Zack Carlton,Planning Manager <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Administrative Subdivision Approval Process Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Provide direction regarding the administrative subdivision approval process <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Elk River ordinances currently require all administrative subdivisions by simple plats be reviewed by City <br /> Council during a public hearing process. Due to requirements from Sherburne County limiting instances <br /> where properties can be administratively combined or adjusted (property lines), the city is experiencing an <br /> increase in the number of simple plats. <br /> In order to streamline the simple plat process for residents and businesses, staff is seeking to remove the <br /> public hearing component,when possible, and move the approval to a consent item. This would be <br /> similar to the process used for final plats,which are approved with a Council resolution. This change may <br /> not affect plats which increase the number of lots,but when a simple plat is used to adjust property lines <br /> or combine lots, the change would save time and money. <br /> With direction from the Council, staff will work with the city attorney to research an ordinance <br /> amendment and bring forward changes when ready. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> POWERED 6T <br /> A IR <br />
