RESOLUTION NO. PC 2024-04
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 6t", 2024 on the
concurrent applications and the applicant and members of the public were provided the
opportunity to present information to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff report,
which are incorporated by reference into the resolution, and make the following Findings of
Fact in relation to the recommendation of approval:
1. As a property which has been designated for regional commercial uses, neither the
proposed subdivision, nor the concurrent plat, are anticipated to negatively impact
surrounding properties.
2. Approval of the subdivision and associated plat will not result in the need for additional
road or utility infrastructure other than that being provided by and for the proposed
use, and should not otherwise negatively impact the health or safety of the community.
3. The impacts of the proposed improvements are those anticipated by the existing and
future land uses and are addressed through standard review and ordinances as adopted.
4. The proposed concurrent plat accommodates additional public and private
improvements, including streets, utilities, and stormwater controls that ensure the
project will continue to be consistent with the City's long-term public service
infrastructure, and as a result, no such improvements are necessary as a part of the
subdivision separate from the platting process.
5. The proposed concurrent plat accommodates reasonable extensions of development
and infrastructure to serve other undeveloped property in the area and as a result, no
such improvements are necessary as a part of the subdivision separate from the platting
process.
6. The proposed access and development details are a component of the concurrent plat
and PUD approvals, and are consistent with the applicable land use policies and
ordinances, including policies of both MnDOT and Wright County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello,
Minnesota recommends to the City Council that the proposed subdivision created a 10.6 acre
parcel to be platted as Big River 445 be approved, subject to the conditions of Exhibit Z of the
staff report of February 6, 2024, and as follows:
1. Approval of the final plat of Big River 445 and subsequent plats as required for
