Sketch Plan Review: Duck Ridge July 3, 2003 Page 2 of 3 Since this development will greatly benefit from the existing street (149th Lane N.W.), City Staff is recommending that the development a~eement be drafted to require the developer to establish an escrow at the City to cover the estimated cost for the next sealcoating improvement to 149th . o Lot Size and Dimensions: The sketch plan indicates that all 4 lots meet the 10,800 square foot area requirement. Except for a minor 1-foot adjustment to Lot 2, all of the lots will meet the 80 foot lot width requirements. o Grading and Drainage: A Grading and Drainage Plan is not generally required with minor subdivisions. However, a permit from the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will be required for the development. The Developer will be required to determine the elevation of the 100 year flood elevation, and the low floor house grades must be constructed two feet above this elevation. The City has enacted an ordinance that requires an elevation survey at the time of footing inspection to ensure compliance with the approved grading plan. No grades shall be flatter than 1%. Grades flatter than 2% will require a certificate of grading prior to an occupancy permit being granted. The Developer must inform lot owners that no grading plan has been prepared for this subdivision, and that the City will not be responsible for drainage related issues on these lots. Easements. The standard 10 f:bot drainage and utility easements (5 feet on common property lines) must be provided around the perimeter of all lots. Wetlands must be delineated and encumbered with drainage and utility easements. Utilities. The municipal water and sanitary sewer services are present and all 4 lots must connect to the services. No lateral stubs have been provided for these proposed lots. It will be necessary to excavate and repair 149th Lane to obtain these services. Dewatering may be necessary. The Development Agreement will require payment of sewer and water trunk fees for all 4 lots. Stormwater Management: The City has established a storm water management fee that must be paid prior to release of the final plat for recording. The current rate is $375 per new lot created. 10. Trail Development Fees: There is a trail development fee of $475.00 due to the City for each new lot created. This fee must be paid prior to r'elease of the final plat for redording.
