Other Business 7. Adjournment • Application Filed on 5 -4 -06 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 7 -3 -06 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2006 -006 Applicant: Nearco IV, LLC Location: Southwest Corner of 56th and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant is seeking Preliminary Plat approval to combine two parcels of land at the southwest corner of 56` Avenue North and Xerxes Avenue North into a single lot. The site in question is the Wendy's restaurant at 5545 Xerxes Avenue North and is made up of two tracts of land legally described as Tracts L and K, RLS 1419. These two parcels were the subject of a preliminary plat in 1994 under Planning Commission Application No. 94006 to accomplish the same thing. That Preliminary Plat comprehended the same combination and was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on June 16, 1994 and approved by the City Council on June 27, 1994 subject to four conditions of approval. For some reason, a final plat was not pursued and the properties were never combined into a single parcel of land through the platting process as required by Section 35 -540 of the zoning ordinance (copy attached). The properties, however, were "combined for tax purposes" through • an administrative procedure and have been considered a single lot for development purposes for some time but have two legal descriptions. Section 35 -540 regarding combination of land parcels requires "multiple parcels of land which are contiguous and adjacent and which are proposed to serve a single development use and which are under common ownership shall be combined into a single parcel through platting or Registered Land Survey ". The completion of the entire platting process will bring this site into compliance with the city's zoning ordinance. The property in question is zoned C -2 (Commerce) and is the site of the Wendy's restaurant and adjoining parking lot. Tract L, RLS 1419, is .975 acres and contains the restaurant building which is approximately 3,334 sq. ft. in area and a 40 stall parking lot. Tract K, RLS 1419, is .344 acres and contains a 28 stall parking lot which is connected to Tract L through a common drive. Wendy's in 1993 originally acquired Tract L, which was the site of a Midwest Federal Bank. The bank was demolished to make way for construction of the restaurant. Wendy's later acquired Tract K, which was an off site parking lot for a neighboring restaurant that was demolished for a new retail building in the area. Wendy's modified and landscaped the old parking lot to accommodate its needs and connected it to the main parking lot. Because of this, they were required to combine the two lots into a single lot pursuant to Section 35 -540. As stated previously, the plat was never finalized and filed. The City is still holding a $60,000 site performance guarantee to assure the platting and the landscaping on the south parking lot site. If these matters are addressed, the performance guarantee may be recommended to the City Council for release. • 5 -25 -06 Page 1 d The applicant has submitted survey data showing the properties to be combined, utility service lines and access to Xerxes and the private (non - public) drive to the west of the site that serves this property and adjacent properties. Each of the properties in this area share ownership and maintenance responsibilities for this private roadway. The Director of Public Works /City Engineer is reviewing the Preliminary Plat and may make written comments which will be attached for the Commission's review. The applicant has indicated the desire to receive Preliminary and Final Plat approval by the City Council at the same time. This will be a matter of his ability to complete all the requirements of Final Plat approval such as County review and title work from the City Attorney. If this can be accomplished, it may be possible to have the Preliminary and Final Plat approved by the City Council at the same time. Because it has been approximately 12 years since the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat, we believe it would be appropriate to repeat the entire process even though essentially there has been no change in the proposal. This is the reason this application is now before the Planning Commission and City Council. A public hearing has been scheduled for the Preliminary Plat and notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. RECOMMENDATION The Preliminary Plat appears to be in order and is recommended for approval subject to the following conditions: 1. The Final Plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The Final Plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. The financial guarantee being held for Planning Commission Application No. 93009 submitted by Wendy's International shall not be released until the Final Plat has been approved by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County and all landscaping and parking lot improvements comprehended under the expanded parking lot plan have been completed and are in compliance with the maintenance provisions of the executed performance agreement. i Page 2 City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community MEMORANDUM DATE: May 18, 2006 TO: Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Wendys Brooklyn Center Planning Commission Applications 2006 -006 Public Works Department staff reviewed the preliminary plat for WENDYS BROOKLYN CENTER submitted for review under Planning Commission Application 2006 -006.
