RE: Albertville -Outlets at Albertville Second Addition Final Plat
FILE NO: 163.06 - 02.37
BACKGROUND
At the November 18, 2002 City Council meeting, the City Council approved the
preliminary plat for JMJ Properties for Outlets at Albertville Second Addition and PUD
development stage, subject to conditions outlined in the findings dated 11/19/02.
Subsequent to that approval, JMJ Properties Inc. has submitted a final plat, attached as
Exhibit A, for City Council consideration at their December 2, 2002 meeting. The
following is a review of the final plat as submitted. The plat consists of a single parcel,
16.46 acres in area, located on the east side of County Road 19, just north of I-94.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Consistency with the Preliminary Plat. In review of the final plat, we find that the
final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat with regard to lot configuration,
lot size, and lot width dimensions. The proposed lot exceeds the lot area requirement
of the B-3 Zoning District. The final plat does not identify the lot and block description.
The final plat must label the plat as Lot 1, Block 1 consistent with the preliminary plat.
Right-of-Way Dedication. The final plat illustrates a 70 foot right-of-way dedication
for Wright County Highway 19 per the recommendations of the City Council. An
additional 10 foot trail and highway easement must be established along the west
property line. This easement description will be prepared by the City Attorney and must
be entered into as a condition of final plat by the applicant then recorded with the plat.
Drainage and Utility Easements. The final plat does illustrate drainage and utility
easements along all property lines and over utility corridors proposed within the lot. An
oversized drainage and utility easement is shown along the east property line,
consistent with the Shoreland Protection Area and encompasses the storm water
drainage ponds, rain gardens, and wetland mitigation areas. All easements within the
plat should be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer with regard to location and
proper size.
Park Land Dedication. At the time of final plat approval, the applicant shall be
required to enter into a development contract that outlines a park land dedication
contribution to the City. Said contribution shall be calculated by staff and stipulated in
the development contract.
Development Contract. Finally, as part of the overall final plat and PUD approval
associated with this property, the applicant shall be required to enter into a development
contract that outlines all conditions and regulations that will govern the development of
this plat and the conditions that will govern the approved planned unit development
associated with the shopping center development.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on our review of this final plat, we recommend approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. The final plat be revised to label the plat as Lot 1, Block 1, Outlets of Albertville
Second Addition.
2. The City Engineer must review and approve the location and size of all utility
easements shown on the plat.
3. The applicant shall enter into a trail and highway easement that will cover the
western 10 feet of the plat.
4. The applicant shall pay park land dedication in the amount calculated by staff
based on 16.46 acres of commercial land.
5. The applicant shall enter into a development contract that will govern the
development of the final plat and the operation of the overall approved planned
unit development for the shopping center.
