Final Plat Report <br /> Title: Minnkota Page Subdivision <br /> Owner(s): Neil and Patricia Munro, Gerald Suhr, Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. <br /> Applicant: Brian Hoffart, Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. <br /> Type of Request: Minor Subdivision (1 lot) <br /> Status: Final Hearing at the June 2, 2014 County Commission Meeting <br /> Proposal: <br /> An application for a Minor Subdivision has been received by the Cass County Planning Office <br /> for approval of a tract of land located in part of the Southeast Quarter of Section 5 in Rich <br /> Township to expand the existing substation as Cass County Electric requires additional power <br /> for the area. The said tract contains 1.71 acres of land, more or less. <br /> Staff Analysis: <br /> The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan and will provide citizens with essential services. <br /> The ownership and maintenance responsibility of the subdivision will be private; roads will be <br /> public gravel roads, with 19th Street Southeast and 140th Avenue Southeast bordering the plat <br /> being dedicated to public; and ditches will be used for storm sewer drainage. In addition, the <br /> existing Minnkota substation will be removed and replaced with topsoil and grass. <br /> The applicant has applied for a conditional use certificate and requested a variance of setback <br /> requirements to build the new substation 60 feet from the center of the township road to the <br /> chain link fence surrounding the substation. The conditional use certificate and variance were <br /> issued on April 30, 2014. In accordance to the conditional use certificate, damage to township <br /> roads for construction and maintenance shall be paid for by Minnkota Power as requested by <br /> the Township Board of Supervisors. <br /> Agency Comments have been received from Cass Rural Water District, stating no infrastructure <br /> is located in the area. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> To approve the Final Plat as presented as it meets the goals and objectives of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan, the design standards of the Subdivision Ordinance, and the Flood <br /> Damage Prevention Ordinance#1998-2. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
