Preliminary Plat Review: Centex Addition July 5; 2001 Page 3 of 5 10. !1. 12. Jill ponding areas must be dedicated as drainage and utility easements as well as have a minimum of twenty (20) foot wide easement for access. All areas where there are storm sewers must have at least a 20 foot w/de drainage and utility easement. The standard 10 foot (5 foot on common property,. :lines) drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of each tot should be shown on the final plat. Stormwater Mana_oement Fee: The CiD' has established a storm water management fee of $375 per umt that must be paid prior to release of the final plat for recording. KEU Number: The City has enacted a quarterly drainage utility charge that is applicable to each unit in the proposed development. Traffic Generation ,amalvsis: During sketch plan review, a tral53c generation analysis was prepared based upon the subm/ssion at the time. The preliminary, plat has reduced the overall number of lots from 157 to 155 un/ts, which will proportionate]y reduce the overall trafSc generated from the development. Howe',er, the internal street changes within the development are significant, and the traffic subdistr/cts are being reviewed. A revised analysis will be prepared and presented at the Planning Commission meeting on July 12. The revised report will desc~be the traffic impacts to the areas adjacent to the development. Staff has concerns over the revised street system. The straight alignments of 155th Lane and of V¢aco Street make these two streets particularly strong candidates for future traffic calming requests, tn addition, the revised plan creates three more cul-de-sacs than the original plan. The lack of through streets increases traffic on the remaining through street which in mrn exasperates the traf-z']c calming issues. Tre¢ Prese,wation Plan: As stated at the time of Sketch Plan Review, the Preliminary~ Grading and Erosion Control Plan does identify e>zisting tree ~owrh and removal lirmits. The addition of one 2.5 inch dbh tree to each lot needs to be Stated on the Plan. Sidewalks. In accordance with City Code, sidewalks are proposed onone side of all non cul- de-sac streets. The Park Commission recommended~ that the sidewalk on Xqdmo Street be located on the west versus the east side of the road; a modification to the preliminary plat is required. Sidewalks are not park dedication credit eligible.
