The developer in this case is requesting that they be allowed to have each of the homeowners have a one-seventh interest in the road to avoid the need to create a homeowners association. Mattick requested Staff be allowed to amend the agreement to reflect that change.

VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 10. #14-3687 REAL ASSETS, II, LLC, 3700 NORTHERN AVENUE – FINAL PLAT APPROVAL: NORTHERN OAKS – RESOLUTION NO. 6438 Todd Holmers, Applicant, was present. Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting final plat approval for the development located at 3700 Northern Avenue. Gaffron noted the City Council approved preliminary plat for six new residential lots on November 25, 2013. Before the City Council are a number of drawings as well as a final plat drawing. Approximately one month ago portions of an easement were vacated along Northern Avenue. In addition, the wetland area east of the major pond was delineated, which forced the stormwater ponding to be located further south on Lot 6, which is east of the other six lots. That also resulted in the preservation of trees further north and the elimination of trees further south. Gaffron stated every one of the six lots is buildable within the parameters that have been defined for this development. Staff requested the applicant provide a better landscaping plan along Northern Avenue, specifically the east end of Northern Avenue, where the conservation design report had suggested that there be some preservation. Due to the proposed grading and driveway locations, the applicant has suggested that they be allowed to submit a replacement plan, which was received by Staff late last week. Gaffron stated the applicant should define in further detail what is being proposed along Northern Avenue.
