12. The former parsonage and garage are allowed. 13. The screening in the area adjacent to the highway shall be augmented with additional coniferous trees. Section 11.9, Subdivision 6C outlines the procedure to follow when reviewing a final plat application and directs the Planning Commission to consider the following: 1. Has the applicant complied with all conditions and requirements upon which the preliminary approval is expressly conditioned wither through performance or execution of appropriate agreements assuring performance? 2. Does the Final Plat or Final Condominium Plat agree with the Preliminary Plat or Preliminary Condominium Plat? 3. Does the City Attorney agree that all parties with an interest in the property are shown as signers of the document? 4. Does the City Engineer agree that all improvements required are satisfactorily completed or are guaranteed by contract with adequate financial security? 5. Does an independent Professional Land Surveyor agree that the final document meets the statutory requirements? 6. Has financial security been posted in the appropriate amount? Staff Findings:The Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration: i. The applicant has complied with all of the conditions of the conditional use permit. There were no conditions of the preliminary plat approval. 2. A plat check for the development has not been submitted to the City. 3. The City Attorney has not indicated that adequate title insurance has been provided to assure all parties with an interest are represented. 4. There are no required improvements with this subdivision. 5. An independent land surveyor has not verified that the final document meets the statutory requirements. 6. No financial security is required. Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission should develop findings to recommend approval of the final plat. In general, the Commission cannot deny a final plat unless the applicant will not or cannot meet the final platting requirements or the conditions of the preliminary plat approval.The Commission cannot impose additional conditions that do not fall directly within the guidelines of the final plat or relate directly to conditions imposed in the preliminary plat. Staff Recommendation: Even though the platting of the SuperValu property is somewhat of a "formality," all the requirements of the ordinance for final platting need to be met. The applicants requested to have both the preliminary and final flat applications on the November agenda in order to streamline the applications. We see no reason why the proposed plat can't be approved at the next council meeting if the following items are completed before then: 1. A plat check for the development is submitted to the City,indicating the final plat agrees with and is consistent the approve preliminary plat. 2. The City Attorney shall indicate that adequate title insurance has been provided to assure all parties with an interest are represented. Pequot Lakes Staff Report 4(b)-2 November 15,2012
