FINAL PLAT REQUEST
Lundgren Brothers is requesting final plat approval for the Highlands at Lake St. Joe Second
Addition. This plat includes 9 lots that were a portion of Outlot B of the first phase. This area was
not platted as a part of the First Addition because a portion of the property is affected by a
Detachment/Annexation Agreement between the Cities of Victoria and Chanhassen (see attached
map) - and was in the city of Victoria. On June 6, 1996, the Municipal Annexation Board approved
the agreementi and all nine lots in this plat are now located completely within the city of
Chanhassen. Outlot A, which is now in Victoria, will be added,to the remaining Boley property
and developed through the city of Victoria.
The entire: subdivision falls within the jurisdiction of the DNR Shoreland regulation for Natural
Environmental Lakes. A city classified natural wetland also exists around Lake St. Joe. The City
Council had recommended variances to the shoreland regulations for the lot width requirements for
non - riparian lots.
