Summary
On February 9, 2004, the Council approved the preliliunary plat for Elk Ridge Center. The preliminary
plat included seven (7) commercial lots and the right-of--way for Holt Street from 194' Avenue to 197t1i
Avenue. The final plat included platting the right-of--way for Holt Street and platting the commercial lots
as outlots.
The street layout is consistent with the approved preliminary plat. The outlots will be subject to final plat
approval as they are developed. Park dedication fees will be required as each of the outlots are platted.
On November 21, 2005 the City Council approved an amendment to the CUP which rearranged the
building site pads. The amendment slightly reduced the overall allowable square foot of building.
The final plat request is consistent with the intent of the preliminary plat. Although the preliminary plat
showed this area of the development as one lot, the applicant is requesting only a portion of the property
S:\PLANNING MAIN\Case Files\Plat\P 09-O1 Elk Ridge Centel 5th\P 09-O1_CC.doc
be platted into one buildable lot. This seems to be anticipated with the zero lot line. The overall
outcome of the site will be one larger multi-tenant building in this area of the development. The multi-
tenant building would be on multiple lots versus one large lot
Staff is supportive of the request, given the intent of the preliminary plat is being met and one large multi-
tenant building will still be constructed as shown on the approved development plan.
Applicable Regulations
Subdivision
These findings are necessary for the City Council approval of the final plat:
(7) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the tinning regulations (article VI of this chapter) and conforms in
all respects with all requirements of this Code, including the honing regulations and this article.
(2) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and specialised city, county, and regional
plans, including but not limited to, the city's Comprehensive Development Plan.
(3) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility
to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding and drainage are suitable for the type and density of
development and uses contemplated.
(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation,
erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements otherwise required in this article.
(5) The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage.
(6) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgment
of a court.
(7) The proposed subdivision will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable development of
neighboring land.
(8) The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following exists:
a. Lack of adequate stormwater drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer ystems.
d. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
In the review of the standards for a final plat as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all
of these standards.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jeremy Barnhart, Planning Manager
FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director
DATE: February 4, 2009
SUBJECT: Elk Ridge Center Fifth Addition Building Expansion
File: 226-210P
As requested, I have reviewed the plan set prepared by MFRA and dated December 2008 .for
the platting of Elk Ridge Center Fifth Addition and the expansion of the existing Aldi's
building into Lot 1, Block 1 of the Fifth Addition. Based on my review I would offer the
following comments:
1. The plat of the Fifth Addition includes one lot immediately adjacent to the lot containing
the Aldi's building. The newly created lot was graded and a retaining wall and
landscaping were installed at the time that the Aldi's building was constructed.
2. Development of the building on Lot 1, Block 1 will require some modest extensions of
the utilities; first a sanitary sewer service is being constructed to serve the building; and
second, an extension of the watermain to the northeast corner of the building and the
installation of a new hydrant, along with building a water service. This extension of
watermain, because it contains a hydrant, will be considered public and it will be required
to have a 10-foot wide drainage and utility easement associated with it. This should be
added to the plat before it is recorded. There is also some extension of the storm sewer
on the site. These extensions will be considered private because they drain a private
parking area.
3. There should be cross access agreements in place between the Aldi's site and the newly
created site.
4. Even though the site has been previously graded, it is over an acre of disturbed land and
a NPDES permit will be required along with a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). The SWPPP needs to be in an 8 1 /2 x 11 inch format and signed by the
developer, engineer and contractor.
S:\PLANNING 1biAIN\Case Files\Plat\P 09-O1 Elk Ridge Center 5th\02-04-09 engrs comments.doc
5. At the end of construction, record drawings will be required that show the GIS locations
of all utility infrastructure built on the site. The format of this information will be similar
to other developments in this project, or can be obtained from John Anderson. His
phone number is 763/635-1052.
There will be some city charges for inspection generated through the development of
this site. City inspection of the public watermain facilities, erosion protection, and
general site inspection to ensure that all improvements are built according to the
approved plan, will generate fees to the owner.
If you have any questions regarding any of this information, please contact me.
