Lack of adequate off site public improvements or support systems In the review of the standards for Final Plat as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. Analysis The City requests formal approval to subdivide the subject 10.05 acres into three lots: Lot 1, Block 1 7.66 acres Lot 2, Block 1 .84 acres Lot 3, Block 1 1.55 acres City Staff and the City Engineer have worked closely with the surveying team to create a plat that best meets the goals of the City, and the intended end user. No new streets are proposed, although an existing private road way along the west edge of the plat is proposed to be vacated. This private roadway primarily provides access to the adjacent automotive repair and retail establishment, appropriate access will be retained through the recordation of a conditional use permit application and easement. The proposed layout provides adequate land and associated setback for the existing water tower, provision for future park land expansion for the adjacent Orono Park, while maximizing the land for the YMCA. Conditional Use Permit file No. CU 07-14 goes into further detail regarding the layout of the YMCA ,including shared parking, and storm water retention facilities.
