Adjournment Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 81020 Applicant: Brooklyn Development Company • Location: Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide the property at the corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North which is presently described as Outlot E, Twin Cities Interchange Park Addition. The land is currently zoned R3 and is surrounded by Shingle Creek Parkway on the north, Xerxes Avenue North on the east, I-94 on the south, and "Old" Xerxes Avenue North on the west. The applicant requests rezoning to Cl of Lot 1 , Block 1 , Earle Brown Farm Estates 1st Addition under Application No. 81022. Blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5 comprise Phase 1 of the proposed Earle Brown Farm Estates townhouse development. In addition, the plat designates five additional parcels as Outlots A through E. The proposed plat shows a 60' right-of-way for the extension of Freeway Boulevard west and north to an intersection with Shingle Creek Parkway. It does not show, however, the dedication of additional right-of-way for Shingle Creek Parkway at the north tip of the property. (The intersection at Shingle Creek Parkway and 69th Avenue North may, in the future, be modified so that 69th Avenue, west of Shingle Creek Parkway, will lead directly into Shingle Creek Parkway rather than into 69th, east of Shingle Creek Parkway) Easements are indicated for the NSP power lines along the west edge of the property and for City storm sewer through the north end of Phase 1 . • The proposed plat does not show an easement for public sidewalk which follows the south and southeast property lines of Outlot C of the preliminary plat to the extension of Freeway Boulevard. The preliminary plat should be revised to indicate this easement. It could also be revised to designate Outlot C as Outlot B and vice versa so that there is continuity in the sequence of outl'ots as they abut one to another. (This may be a concern of the County rather than the City) . It is not necessary that the sequence of construction follow the sequence of the outlots. In general , the plat seems to be in order and approval is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1 . The final plat is subject to approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the �provtstons of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. I 3. Homeowners Association documents for Phase 1 are subject to approval by the City Attorney prior to final plat approval . 4.
