Preliminary Plat Review: Evergreen Point Townhomes March 27, 2002 Page 4 of $ The Developer will need to disturb Alpine Drive 'to connect and loop the watermain to ensure a fresh water supply. This activity must be done one-half at a time and traffic'must be maintained at all times. Additionally, the Developer agreed to restore the north side of Alpine Drive with concrete curb and gutter and additional stormsewer may need to be added to accomplish this restoration. Sound Mitigation: It is the City's responsibility to take reasonable measures to ensure compatibility between land use and traffic noise generated from an adjacent highway. The' City has engaged the services Of SRF to do a traffic noise level study on several pending residential proposals along T.H. //47. The development permit will require that all sound mitigation measures are subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Tree Preservation 'Plan: The Landscape Plan identifies existing tree stands, but it does not identify tree removal limits. At the time of final plat approval, the final Grading Plan should identify existing 'tree cover, the removal limits, and location of tree save fences. The Landscape Plan will be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan review process for the townhome development. 10. Stormwater Management Fee: The current stormwater management fee is $375 per unit and is due at the City prior to recording the final plat. 11. Park Dedication: At the time of sketch plan review, the Park Commission recommended that park dedication be satisfied with a cash payment. The current cash rate is $1700 per unit. The Commission also recommended that the Developer identify some private recreational space ~ part of th/s townhome development. I2. Trails and Trail Fees: The trail fees due pr/or to plat recording are $400 per unit. A trail would be required parallel to T.H. #47 but it would be difficult to construct because of the wetland at the north end of the plat. As an alternative, the preliminary Plat proposes to construct the trail along Fluorine Street N.W., which may continue west through Sunflower Ridge and then mm north through Wildlife Sanctuary and eventually back out to. #47. An alternative and perhaps better route would be to-have the trail deviate northwesterly from Fluorine Street at the fzrst driveway collector, on the west side of the fzrst wetland and then generally along the west edge of the plat, adjacent to the sedimentation-, pond and small wetland. From there it would cross the road and enter Wildlife Sanctuary 3rd Addition,. adjacent to that la,ge wetland. This alignment would reduce trail conflicts with private yard space and benefit Sunflower Ridge residents to the west. A trail is also proposed to be provided along the north side of Alpine Drive from the east plat boundary to the west plat boundary. Neither of these trails are trail fee credit eligible. The development agreement will require that the trails be dedicated to the City in a separate recordable document.
