COMMUNITYGROWTH Gl''f <br /> T E <br /> 1 N S T I T 11 <br /> Pequot _ <br /> jA�� <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> Application: Final Plat of Wilderness Resort Garages <br /> Applicant: Wilderness Resort Villas,LLC <br /> Agenda Item:4(a) <br /> Background Information: Wilderness Resort Villas was approved for a Conditional <br /> Use Permit and Preliminary Plat by the City Council in May of 20o8. The Final Plat was <br /> approved in September of 2oo8. Since that approval, the property owner requested that <br /> the Planning Commission allow them to split the final plat into two documents—the first <br /> being the final plat for the resort dwelling units or accessory lodge facilities and the <br /> second for the accessory garage structures that were part of the amended preliminary <br /> plat. <br /> Following the Planning Commission's guidance that this would be acceptable, the <br /> applicant filed the first final plat and has now submitted a second final plat —this one of <br /> the garages—for the Planning Commission to review. <br /> Applicable Regulations: To obtain final plat approval, an applicant must fulfill the <br /> final plat requirements contained in the Ordinance and must also meet any conditions <br /> imposed by the City during the preliminary plat and conditional use approval. <br /> This was attested to by the Planning Commission and City Council back in August and <br /> September of 2oo8. The findings of fact are repeated here for consideration and <br /> adoption,with only slight modification to reflect the current application. <br /> Staff Findings: Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration by the <br /> Planning Commission: <br /> 1. The City Engineer has reviewed the erosion control plan. The erosion control <br /> plan is regulated through a State General Permit and there are no City <br /> requirements that would usurp these State requirements. The Engineer has not <br /> stated any concerns. <br /> 2. The City Engineer has reviewed the stormwater management plan. The <br /> stormwater management facilities are not going to be constructed or maintained <br /> by the City. The Engineer stated the stormwater management plan does direct <br /> runoff from their property into infiltration basins greatly minimizing, if not <br /> eliminating in many cases, any runoff that may leave their property or get directly <br /> into the lake and it is to his satisfaction. <br /> 3. The City Attorney has reviewed the rental contract and association contracts. Mr. <br /> Sandelin has stated the documents establishing the shared villas, garage <br /> association, and the amended declaration to the initial Wilderness Resort Villas <br /> declaration meet the requirements of Minnesota law and the City code. <br /> 4. The applicant has submitted vacation drawings and legal descriptions of the area <br /> of High Pine Street and City parcel to be vacated by the City to clear up the <br /> concern Mr. Sandelin had regarding the transfer of property to the City for a road <br /> as part of a lot split for property that was owned by the resort in exchange for the <br /> resort identifying an easement for access to the resort which will serve as an <br /> easement for adjoining properties. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 4(a)-1 <br /> January 15,2009 <br />
