RE: Otsego — Waterfront East; 4th Addition Preliminary/Final Plat
REPORT DATE: 1 May 2014
TPC FILE: 101.02 — 14.01
BACKGROUND
Main Street Otsego Development LLC owns the two existing buildings in the Waterfront
East development as well as the undeveloped Lot 2, Block 1 Third Addition site that was
to have been developed with the riverboat restaurant. The property owner has
constructed 25 additional parking stalls within the remainder of the undeveloped portion
of Lot 2, Block 1 Otsego Waterfront East Third Addition. In that off-street parking is not
an allowed principal use of property within the PUD District, Lot 2, Block 1 Otsego
Waterfront East 3rd Addition was to be combined by administrative subdivision with Lot
1, Block 1 Otsego Waterfront East 2"d Addition (Building C). However, Wright County
would not record the administrative subdivision as the two lots were established under
separate plats. Therefore, the property owner has applied for a preliminary and final
plat to combine the two existing lots as one lot.

B. Site Plan
C. Preliminary/Final Plat
ANALYSIS
Zoning. The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District in
accordance with the City Council approval on 10 November 2004. Off-street parking is
not an allowed principal use within the PUD District. The preliminary and final plat is
necessary to address the condition of Lot 2, Block 1 Otsego Waterfront East 3rd Addition
having been developed entirely as off-street parking accessory to the principal uses on
Lot 1, Block 1, Waterfront East and Lot 1, Block 1 Waterfront East 2 d Addition. The
combination of the two lots at this time does not preclude the property owner from
separating them in the future or adding additional development within the combined lot
through a PUD Development Stage Plan application.
Lot Requirements. There a no minimum lot area or width requirements within the
PUD District. The combined area of proposed single lot established by the
preliminary/final plat is 2.7 acres. The subject site has access and frontage to
Quantrelle Avenue, which is an improved public street.
Setbacks. The PUD District establishes setbacks based on the site plan approved as
part of the PUD Development Stage Plan for each lot. For the Waterfront East 2 d and
3`Addition, the location of the principal building is allowed a zero lot line setback from
Quantrelle Avenue. Off-street parking areas are to be setback 15 feet from public
rights-of-way and 5 feet from side or rear lot lines except where a cross parking area is
identified on the PUD Development Stage Plan. The proposed lot complies with these
applicable setback requirements.
Easements. The preliminary/final plat provides for drainage and utility easements at
the perimeter of the combined lot in accordance with Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision
Ordinance. Existing drainage and utility easements recorded with the Waterfront East
2nd Addition and Waterfront East 3rd Addition final plats will remain in place with the
proposed preliminary/final plat. The property owner has also entered into a separate
agreement with the City memorializing the terms of the PUD Development Stage Plan
approval for Waterfront East addressing cross parking and access requirements relative
to the City park parcel (Outlot A).
Park and Trail Dedication. Park dedication requirements were deemed to have been
satisfied for both of the existing lots at the time of their respective final plat approvals.
The combination of the existing lots does not trigger any additional park and trail
dedication requirement.
Grading Plan. The development plan for construction of the additional parking stalls
within the subject site was approved by the City Engineer and inspected completion for
compliance. The combination of the two existing lots does not include additional
grading or effect drainage and erosion control.
Utilities. There is no modification to the in place utilities serving Building C or
otherwise effected by the proposed lot combination.
Development Contract. No development contract is necessary for the
preliminary/final plat as no public improvements are being installed and the private
improvements have been completed. The property owner will be required to record the
preliminary/final plat document with Wright County within 60 days of City Council
approval as required by Section 21-3-3.D.6 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
