Resolution approving the Final Plat of BCA Southern Regional Office and Laboratory Subdivision. The subject property is described as Outlot A, Blue Earth County Justice Center Subdivision; by request of Leo A. Daly, with permission of the property owner. 

At the July 23, 2025, meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the plat.

Leo Daly, on behalf of the State of Minnesota, is requesting a preliminary and final plat review of BCA Southern Regional Office and Laboratory Subdivision, Blue Earth County.

The subject property is described as Outlot A, Blue Earth County Justice Center Subdivision, and has the Blue Earth County parcel identification number of R010915200011. For development purposes, platting of the outlot is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Previously, wetlands were identified on the Blue Earth County Justice Center Subdivision, but there are no wetlands on the parcels within the BCA Southern Regional Office and Laboratory Subdivision plat. 

The proposed BCA Southern Regional Office and Laboratory Subdivision, Blue Earth County, shows a new one-lot, one-block subdivision and an outlot. Lot 1, Block 1, contains an area that is approximately 280' X 888', totaling approximately 5.7 acres. A 10' drainage and utility easement has been provided on the subject lot. 

The subdivision also contains a pan-handle-shaped projection along the already dedicated Bassett Drive corridor. The pan-handle segment, an area approximately 398 feet by approximately 17 feet, is proposed as an outlot, Outlot A, as was requested by the City for potential future access purposes. 
There are no new public dedications proposed for the subdivision. The 100' right of way necessary for the extension of Bassett Drive was previously dedicated to the Blue Earth County Justice Department plat. With development of the subject parcel, Bassett Drive and the necessary utility infrastructure will be extended to the easterly line of the new subdivision. The applicant has provided a draft of a subdividers agreement that addresses the public improvements.
 
The concept plans submitted with the application show a new, approximately 34,200-square-foot structure identified as the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, located centrally on the lot.
