ITEM 7 Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 8 th Addition final plat
Spirit of Brandtjen Farm Development Corporation has submitted a final plat for their 8 th Addition. The
plat will consist of 14 single - family lots and one outlot. The City's Parks, Trails & Open Space System
Plan does not designate any future parks in this location. The developer will be required to construct
5' concrete sidewalks on both sides of all local streets consistent with the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm
planned unit development originally agreed upon in 2005. The park dedication was previously
satisfied through a land dedication and cash contribution paid in 2005. The developer has a remaining
credit of $255,357 that will be applied to future phases as the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm develops. Staff
is therefore recommending the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources committee consider
recommending to City Council approval of Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 8 th Addition final plat. The
developer will be required to construct 5' sidewalks on both sides of all local streets.
(11.20) Motion made by Goodwin, seconded Zell to recommend City Council consider approval
of Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 8 th Addition final plat. The developer will be required to construct 5'
sidewalks on both sides of all local streets.
Finally, the developer is required to follow other recommendations outlined in the Planning and
Engineering reports as they pertain to this plat. The developer is also required to follow the natural
resources requirement detailed in the Planning and Engineering reports associated with tree
preservation, grading, drainage, and erosion control and further recommendations by the Dakota
County Soil and Water Conservation District, if applicable.
