Request for Action <br />To <br />Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council <br />7.2 <br />Agenda Section <br />Meeting Date <br />Prepared by <br />Public Hearings <br />November 20, 2023 <br />Chris Leeseber , Senior Planner <br />Item Description <br />Reviewed by <br />Simple Plat: Glens Ridge, Westphal Construction <br />Zack Carlton, Community Development Director <br />Reviewed by <br />Company, Inc. <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Action Requested <br />Adopt, by motion, a resolution for the final plat of Glens Ridge with the condition that Park Dedication shall be <br />paid for one dwelling unit at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. <br />Background/Discussion <br />Case No. P 23-13 - The property is 59.35 acres and zoned R1a. The <br />proposed plat consists of two buildable lots with one lot eligible for <br />Park Dedication. Lot 1 will be 3.49 acres in size with access from Jarvis <br />Street and Lot 2 will be 55.07 acres with access from Cleveland Street. <br />The subdivision is providing an additional 33' of right-of-way along the <br />west side of Jarvis St. and right-of-way for a cul-de-sac at the end of <br />Cleveland St. <br />The cul-de-sac will provide the required access to Lot 1. The applicant <br />questioned why they cannot make the cul-de-sac gravel versus paved to <br />city standards. With two more parcels using the cul-de-sac for access, <br />staff determined it should be built to city standards now. Cul-de-sacs <br />are needed for cars/trucks, snowplows, firetrucks, mail carriers, <br />deliveries, etc. to be able to safely turn around. While gravel would <br />achieve this, the adjacent street is paved — leaving only the cul-de-sac as <br />gravel, and the ongoing maintenance of a gravel cu-de-sac is not in the <br />city's best interest. <br />Parks and Recreation Commission <br />The commission recommends park dedication be for one dwelling unit <br />at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. <br />Applicable Regulations <br />City ordinance section 30-375 outlines the required findings for approval of a plat. <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br />CR 33 <br />p I I E I E I 1 1 <br />NATUREI <br />Updated.• January 2023 <br />• <br />
