Waite Park planning commission approves Zabinsky Acres Plat 3, subject to standard conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary and final plat for Zabinsky Acres Plat 3 (2705 County Road 6), conditioned on county highway certification and payment of an in‑lieu parkland dedication fee; the item will be forwarded to City Council.
The Waite Park Planning Commission voted on Feb. 9, 2026 to recommend approval of the preliminary and final plat for Zabinsky Acres Plat 3, a single‑lot subdivision on the northern portion of the property at 2705 County Road 6.
Staff described the proposed plat as a single lot and single block suitable for a single‑family home and said the parcel “meets or exceeds” criteria for the A1 agro‑residential district. The presenter said standard conditions would apply, including certification from the Sterns County Highway Department regarding frontage along the county road and payment of the parkland dedication fee set in the city fee schedule (noted in the transcript as "836 per parcel").
The presenter recommended approval of both the preliminary and final plats conditioned on meeting those requirements. Commissioners closed the public hearing, moved to accept the plat as laid out, and the motion passed; the transcript records the outcome as passed with three commissioners. Staff said the item will appear on the next City Council agenda for final action.
The commission noted two commissioners have a personal interest in the request; staff affirmed those statuses and said they did not influence the recommendation. Final approval and recording of the plat are contingent on meeting the listed conditions and completing any documentation required by the county highway authority.
