The Oak Grove City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-147 to accept the preliminary and final plat for Wickstrom Estate South.

Staff told the council that the project’s review began in November 2024 and that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources visited the site to establish an ordinary high-water mark for Seeley Brook, which affected setback calculations. An earlier variance requested by the applicant was denied; staff said the current plat version meets the city’s requirements and that DNR had no comments on the latest submittal.

Council Member John West moved to approve the preliminary and final plat; Council Member Mike Wiley seconded. In a roll-call vote, Mike Wiley, John West, Bridal Johnson, Mayor Weston Rolfe (remote) and Paul Tradewell voted yes. The motion carried 5-0.

Council staff listed the standard conditions for plat approval: payment of the park-dedication fee, execution of a new development agreement and submission of title work. Staff said those items are already in progress and must be completed as part of final recording.
