Memo to City Council Page 3 <br />Lafayette Woods <br />February 26, 1996 <br /> <br /> because of their susceptibility of going tax forfeit and eventually reverting <br /> back to the City. Therefore, as in previous plats, staff is recommending <br /> that all of the lots in the first phase of the final plat include some <br /> ownership to the three outlots located at the entrance point. <br /> <br />Outlot E - This outlot has been left as a remnant to be re-subdivided with <br />the property immediately to the south. Although the developer does not <br />have a controlling interest in the property to the south, some concept <br />plans have been put together illustrating how that property could be <br />utilized. <br /> <br />· Outlot G - Outlot G is the balance of the property that is included in the <br /> preliminary plat and will be re-subdivided as future phases come on line. <br /> <br />Fence Along North Property Line <br /> <br />One of the conditions added by the Council for approval of the preliminary <br />plat was to evaluate the need of a security fence between the proposed <br />subdivision and Ridgewood 2nd Addition. The developer has expressed his <br />concern of putting a fence through this area and having it detract from the <br />natural characteristics of the property. On the other hand, the Ridgewood <br />property owners have also expressed some interest that residents from the <br />Layfayette Woods development will be trespassing on the Ridgewood ski and <br />park area. One option for the Council to consider would be addressing this <br />fence issue as final plat of a future phase of Layfayette Woods comes forward <br />that directly abuts this Ridgewood 2nd Addition and consider the fence issue <br />at that time. Otherwise, it would be appropriate to resolve the fence issue at <br />this time. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended the City Council approve Resolution No. 96-__ granting <br />final plat approval for Lafayette Woods with the following conditions: <br /> <br />A development agreement be prepared outlining the terms and <br />conditions for plat approval and installation of improvements. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Comments outlined in the city engineer's memo dated May 17, 1995, <br />be addressed and incorporated into final plans for the development. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />A water availability charge in the amount of $300 per lot be paid to <br />Elk River Utilities. Developer should check with Elk River utilities for <br />any additional charges relative to water connection fees. <br /> <br />s:\council\p95-2x.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
