Review

Archer-Daniels Midland Company is requesting the review of the preliminary plat review of ADM Mankato First Addition. The subject property is described as part of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 5 and that part of the North Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 6, all in Township 108 North Range 26 West, Blue Earth County; part of Block 7, Mankato Industrial Acres; Lots 5, 6, 7 of Block 4 and a part of Block 7, Mankato Industrial Acres Subdivision; Lots 2, 3, 4, Block 4, Mankato Industrial Acres, Tracts A, B, and C, RLS No. 105; Lot 1, Block 4, Industrial Acres subdivision, all in the city of Mankato (2019 3rd Avenue, etal, Blue Earth County PID R010906427006, R010906277004, R010906426007, R010906426006, R010906426001, etal).

On June 13, 2022 the City Council approved a conditional use permit to allow a building expansion to accommodate a new boiler system at the subject property. One of the conditions of approval in the approving resolution for the project was that the unplatted portions of the property be platted in accordance with Mankato City Code.  

As such, the property owner has submitted the preliminary plat for ADM Mankato First Addition. The plat combines several existing underlying parcels into a new one-block subdivision. Within that block, there are three lots: 1A, 1B, and 1C. The desired intent is to have a one-lot, one-block subdivision, but because of the titling of the underlying parcels being both abstract and Torrens, the lots have all been given a Lot 1 designation as well as a letter to distinguish their underlying titling designation. 

Mill Street, otherwise known as Lind Street, and Second Avenue will remain. The plat also dedicates 33’ for the eastern side for the remainder of the 3rd Avenue corridor.    

An irregular polygon-shaped parcel on the southwestern side of the subject property is excluded from the plat. Through the platting process, this parcel has been determined to be excluded from the applicant's legal descriptions. 

As required by the platting process, the applicant conducted a wetland delineation. The wetlands that were identified on the site are shown on the plat. 

A payment in lieu of parkland dedication will be required for all previously unplatted parcels in the proposed ADM Mankato plat.
