Sketch Plan Review: River Pines 5~ Addition Page 2 of 4 August 30, 2001 Density: The gross den,sir/, including the existing homestead, is approximately 1.4 units per acre. Excluding the e~sring homestead from the density calculations results in a density of approximately 1.8 unites per acre. The preliminm'y plat should identify the ~oss and net density numbers, with and without wetlands and major road fight-of-way. Access and Streets: The plat is proposed to receive public access via the extension of 158~ Lane N.W. into the property from River Pines 2na Addition tO the west,-and the e~ension of Lithium Street N.W. into the property from Apple Ridge to the south. River Pines 2~d and Apple Ridge are both single family neighborhoods with urban services. The plat should provide for a future public access to the nort~ and there should be a resubdivision plan and provisions for a future public access for the area of the ex.isting homestead to the east. The plat is adjacent to T.H. ~47 and the preliminary plat will be forwarded to Mn/DOT for review. Standard requirements for dedicating Hwy. ~47 right-of-way and access rights are expected. As with Apple Ridge, an additional 40 feet of ri*~l:tt-of-way should be dedicated oa the plat for trail and/or service road purposes. Traffic Generation Analysis: A transportation analysis study will be required prior to the preliminary plat public l~earing. City Staff will forward a copy of the proposed project to the consultant of choice for th.is report. Lot Size and Dimensions: All of the lots appear to meet the 10,800 square foot area :requirement and80 foot (90 feet on comers) lot width requirement. This in.formation mUSt be verified on the pretimJanary plat.. The setback standards listed on Sheet C I indicate that the comer setback for houses is 15 feet; this is not correct. For preliminary plat purposes, please note thai the comer setback for structures is 20 feet. Gradin~ and Drainage: A Preliminary Grading Plan tins been provided. The sketch indicates the addition of two ponds east of. Lithium Street N.W. to handle the increased runoff caused by the development. These ponds, as well as a 20 foot easement' for access, is being shown as drainage and utility easements. Al1 Ponding calculations need to be provided before plat approval. The plan will need to be reviewed and perr~tted by the Lower Rum River Water Management Orgamzation. A wetland delineation wiI1 be required on this property. -34-
