Approval of a Final Plat for Ferree’s Addition Plat 3
Senior Planner, Andy Kass introduced the request as made by the applicants, KG Store 1202, llc
& Stanbrough Realty, for approval of a final plat and site plan for a commercial development.
The subject property is located south of Hickman Road and west of 6th Street, containing
approximately 2.10 acres. This property was previously platted as an outlot in Ferree’s Addition
Plat 2 during the planning of the new Kum and Go Store on the corner of Hickman Road and 6th
Street.
Mr. Kass advised that the Final plat identifies the subject property as a buildable lot, a portion of
which will included a vacated City Right of Way for Elm Street that is excess right of way. a
small portion of Elm Street will be required to be paved, to finish access to pre-existing
businesses, but the street will not continue further west . Easements necessary for the
functionality of both lots are in place.
The site plan indicates the construction of a 14,976 square foot multi-tenant retail building with
10 tenant spaces. A 400 square foot patio is shown indicating the possibility of a restraunt tenant,
though no tenants have been identified at this time. A small 800 square foot maintenance building
is shown to the south of the building to contain maintenance materials and equipment. A trash
enclosure is shown behind the building on the southwest corner. Interior sidewalks around the
building are shown, no public trails or sidewalks will be extended as part of this project. Public
utilities are available to the site, and storm water detention will be provided on the west side of
the site. The property owner is responsible for detention maintenance. All parking, Landscaping,
and lighting plans are in accordance with the standards within the City Code.

At this time staff would recommend approval of the Final Plan and Site Plan subject to any
remaining staff comments.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if there is a railroad right of way. Mr. Kass advised
there is, and the City owns that at this time. However, there is not the option to sell as it
would go back to the Rail Company. There is a long term hope that there will be a trail
through that right of way to connect to the Raccoon River Trail.
Commissioner Broderick questioned about the odd shape of the southern part of the lot,
and why there wasn’t a clean break if the city was abandoning the right of way. Mr. Kass
advised that Elm Street needed the small extension for access points. The open space that
looks like it is an extension of the right of way, belongs to the property owner to the
south and is not city right of way.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the access would remain the same. Mr. Kass
advised that was correct. The western access will be the full access and the eastern access
point will remain a right in right out access point for the site.
Commissioner Broderick questioned how the parking is figured for multi-tenant spaces
when no tenants have been identified. Mr. Kass advised that the general guide line is then
8 parking spaces per 1000 square feet City Staff has discussed upping the number due to
some issues that have come with previous projects. Commissioner Broderick questioned
if Central Standard’s tenant space was counted as 8 per 1000 square feet. Mr. Kass
advised that the restaurant space in question was known to be a restaurant at the time of
planning so it was calculated for that requirement. Mr. Kass also added that the restaurant
in question is also located in the Kettlestone district, which has its own specific
requirements for design and general regulations.
Commissioner Broderick moved to approve the final plat for Ferree’s Addition Plat 3 subject to
any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Koshy seconded the motion. Ayes: Broderick,
Ward, Koshy, Hoifeldt, and Inman. Nays: None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the final plat
subject to acquisition of former Elm Street right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
