The City has received an Application for Final Plat Approval of Country Club Hills. Country Club Hills is a proposed major subdivision that would create 85 new single family lots. Phase I of this project proposed to subdivide 26 of the 85 lots.

These lots were previously contemplated as Phases II and III of Sweetbay Ridge and were included in that original Preliminary Plat approval.

Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within a 700 foot radius of the Property of the Public Hearing via Standard US Mail, which was held as part of the Planning Commission review. The Public Hearing was also published in the City's official newsletter, the Anoka County UnionHerald.

The attached Development Agreement outlines the improvements that the Developer is required to install.

All costs associated with processing the request are the responsibility of the Applicant.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat for Country Club Hills, contingent upon revisions as outlined in the Staff Review Letter dated May 30, 2014.

Please note that the Developer is requesting to receive a credit to their Sanitary Sewer Trunk Fee as they are over-sizing and adding extra depth to meet the requirements for the City's trunk system to account for future growth. Said credit has not yet been included in the Development Agreement, but have have some merit and meet the City's policy on credits. Staff will update the City Council on the status of this specific discussion at the meeting.
