Date: September 9, 2024 Item: 6 <br />Presenter: Melanie Curtis, Planner <br />Section: Consent Agenda <br /> <br />Title: LA24-000039, 1480 Bracketts Point Rd, Preliminary Plat and Easement <br />Vacation "Bracketts Point 3rd Addition" - Resolution No. 7507 <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />The purpose of this application is to review a preliminary plat including easement vacation for <br />1480 Bracketts Point Rd with Outlots A and B, Bracketts Point 2nd Add, to establish "Bracketts <br />Point 3rd Addition <br />2.MN§15.99 Application Deadline: <br />MN§15.99 Application Deadline: This application was received on July 16, 2024, and considered <br />to be complete on July 31, 2024. The 120-day preliminary plat review timeline will expire on <br />November 28, 2024. <br />3.Background: <br />The applicant proposes to move the common boundary line between 1480 Bracketts Point Road <br />and Outlot A (Bracketts Point 2nd Addition) in order to incorporate the tennis court portion of the <br />outlot with the main building lot/property. The tennis court has been in disrepair and unused for <br />several years and will be removed. The stormwater ponding area will remain untouched. No <br />grading or other improvements are proposed at this time. The existing drainage and utility <br />easement will be relocated with the boundary line. <br /> <br />The applicant also proposes a rearrangement of the boundary between Outlot A and Outlot B <br />(Bracketts Point 2nd Addition) to correct the underlying easement for the private road. The <br />proposed outlot changes were intended to be completed at the same time the Southways plat was <br />finalized. The changes are necessary to align the public portion of Bracketts Point Road with the <br />private portion on the south. The cul-de-sac delineates the transition from public to private. Refer <br />to the Planning Commission report from August 19th for more detail and analysis. <br /> <br />This application is not a subdivision resulting in the creation of a new lot. Rather, it should be <br />viewed as a boundary line adjustment (subdivision exception) due to the need to formally re-plat a <br />portion of Outlot A which is currently classified as an “outlot”. According to City Code, outlots <br />“are not intended for development except for the purpose in which they are created, which may <br />include streets, stormwater management, monument signs, etc.…”. Once re-platted, the tennis <br />court portion of Outlot A will be absorbed into the greater buildable lot of 1480 Bracketts Point <br />Road. <br />4.Planning Commission Vote and Comment: <br />On August 19, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted 7 to 0 in favor of <br />approval as proposed (minutes attached as Exhibit C). No public comment was submitted and <br />there was no one from the public present to speak at the public hearing. <br />5.Staff Recommendation: <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />30
