PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The property owner, Christopher Birkle, at 510 Pemberton Lane is desiring to construct improvements on the property in order to have a storage area. These improvements include fencing and graveling of the property. In the future, the property owner desires to upgrade the property to possibly include mixed-use buildings. As a condition of the initial development, the city staff decided it would be beneficial to enter into a development agreement with the property owner identifying off-site improvements and the timing of the construction of the improvements. The property owner has submitted the attached Development Agreement for consideration by the Council. The Development Agreement includes necessary future improvements to Pemberton Lane and Lake Elmo Drive.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the development agreement with the property owner; or
- Disapprove the development agreement. If the agreement is not approved, the responsibility for infrastructure improvements will not be clearly identified as the property owner's responsibility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City with acceptance of this development agreement. If the agreement is not accepted, the City could be responsible for a portion of the improvements if they were made under an SID as our policy only assesses for the addressed side of a property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the development agreement with Christopher Birkle.
