<br />Sketch Plan Review; Kings Ranch Estates <br />March 28, 2008 <br />20f3 <br />contiguous area of bituminous pavement that serves both lots and does not conform to current <br />driveway setback requirements, as well as fencing that crosses the portions of the proposed lot <br />line; The development agreement will require cross access easements for the shared portions of <br />the driveway or, if either parcel is sold to another party, those portions of bituminous surface <br />encroaching on the five (5) foot setback be removed and likewise, the fencing be repositioned <br />such that it does not cross property lines. <br /> <br />Drainage: No land alteration is proposed as part of this subdivision. A field inspection was <br />conducted and it was determined that adequate drainage is currently being accommodated on the <br />site. Any proposed grading, further subdivision, or construction of additional structures on either <br />of the parcels will require the submittal of more detailed contour information. The National <br />Wetland Inventory shows a couple of wetlands in the immediate vicinity of this property. An <br />investigation should be conducted to determine whether they are within the property boundaries, <br />and if so they should be encumbered by drainage and utility easements. <br /> <br />Easements: 10 foot drainage and utility easements are proposed along all lot lines. <br /> <br />Soils: The soils contained within the plat belong to the Nymore grouping which have slight to <br />moderate limitations for on site septic systems. <br /> <br />Access to Lots: The subdivision is not proposing construction of new streets into the plat as <br />both lots will have direct access to Baugh St. Cross access easements are required for the areas <br />where shared use of driveways will occur. Should the existing access to lot 2 remain, it must be <br />paved from the pavement edge of Baugh Street to the right-of-way line or improved with <br />prepared gravel to limit the amount of sediment and tracking onto City streets. Please clarify the <br />use of the existing access gate to the north into the wetland area on the adjacent property. <br /> <br />Utilities: Municipal sewer and water are not available in this area; both lots will be served by <br />on-site well and septic systems. The septic system on Lot 2 must be replaced or upgraded <br />accordingly to accommodate the dwelling unit. Soil types must be identified to determine the <br />suitability of an additional septic system, and locations for the primary and secondary facilities <br />must be referenced for each lot. <br /> <br />Park Dedication: The sketch plim will be forwarded to the April Park Conu:n:ission meeting for <br />a recommendation on Park Dedication. The City has the option for cash, land, or a combination <br />of land and cash. The City's 2008 park dedication fee is $2,475 per residential lot; existing <br />homesteads are'exempt from park dedication fees; therefore, only Lot 2 will be subject to this <br />fee. The plat will be subject to the park dedication rate in effect at time of final plat approval. <br />Park dedication fees must be paid prior to the City releasing the plat for recording at Anoka <br />County. <br /> <br />Trail Fee: The City's comprehensive trail plan shows a future trail along the south side of <br />Armstrong Boulevard. While installation of this trail segment is not required with this <br />application, the City's standard policy has been to request a fifteen (15) foot trail easement <br />adjacent to the County road right-of-way to accommodate future construction of a trail. <br />However, the City has also established a trail development fee at a rate of $600 per unit that may <br />be collected in lieu of the easement; existing homesteads are"exempt from this fee.
