RESOLUTION 1999-02
 
CITY OF GRANT
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA
 
A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF “ISLAND SHORES” VOID.
 
WHEREAS, in the summer of 1997, the Applicant submitted a concept plan to the City seeking to divide an eighty (80) acre parcel of
land into two residential lots and one outlot.  The southern portion of the property would contain the two (2) residential lots.  These
parcels would access a new road (Keswick Avenue).  The Applicant proposed that the northern fifty (50) acres of the property would
be designated as an outlot and be legally combined with Lot 7, Block 1, Woodland Acres.  The intent of this was to provide that the
outlot would not be a. "landlocked" parcel of property; and,
 
WHEREAS, on February 3, 1998, the City Council granted preliminary plat approval to the application; and,
 
WHEREAS, Subdivision Ordinance 404.04 provides that ten (10) copies of the final plat must be submitted to the City Clerk “not later
than six (6) months after the date of approval of the preliminary plat.”  If such a submission is not made, then the approval of the
preliminary plat "will be considered void." In the alternative, the Developer could have requested an extension of the six (6) month
deadline.  No extension was inquired about until December 22, 1998 (more than 10 months after preliminary plat approval); and,
 
WHEREAS, the six (6) month time period elapsed, and therefore, pursuant to Ordinance, approval of the preliminary plat became void
as a matter of law on August 3, 1998.
