TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development
SUBJECT: Resolution Providing a Nine Month Extension to the Time Period for the Submittal of the Final Plat for the Northwest Family Service Center.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council, following consideration of this matter, approve the Resolution providing a nine month extension to the time period for submittal of the Northwest
Family Service Center Final Plat
Background:
On April 24, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-75 Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2010-004 Submitted by Welsh Construction LLC, A Request
for Preliminary Plat Approval of Northwest Family Service Center.
This proposed subdivision involves the creation of a 3.9 acre lot for the planned development of a 63,362 sq.ft. addition to the existing Adult Education Building, located at 7051 Brooklyn
Boulevard; improvements to the 71st Ave and Brooklyn Boulevard intersection; and dedication of right of way to facilitate the realignment of 71st Ave. to enhance the residential street
entrance to the adjoining neighborhood and access to the Willow Lane Early Childhood Learning Center.
Attached for your reference is a copy of resolution approving the preliminary plat and items which need to be addressed and prepared in conjunction with the submittal of the final plat.
The subdivision ordinance indentifies a six month time frame within which an applicant is required to submit a final plat; otherwise, the preliminary plat will be considered void unless
an extension in writing by the subdivider and for good cause granted by the City Council. During this time frame, staff has had numerous meetings and conversations with the owners and
their consultants on their construction schedule, issues relating to the financing, and structuring the ownership of portions of the building. Staff understands that these issues have
added to the complexity of the completing the final plat with the necessary easements and documents that will be recorded as part of this development.
Given the nature of the transportation improvements and the plans required to be submitted with the final plat, staff is recommending that a nine month extension be granted, which extends
the deadline for final plat submittal until July 24, 2011.
Attached is a letter requesting a nine month extension with the explanation that the owners, CEAP and ISD 279, are working on finalizing the financing of the project before proceeding
with the final plat.
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider with this request.
Council Goals:
Strategic:
1. Will aggressively proceed with implementation of the City’s Redevelopment Plans
