COR ONE FIRST ADDITION Sketch Plan Review September 29, 2010 Page 2 of 3 Access and Streets: Accesses onto Sunwood and Civic Center Drive shall be limited and shared access and parking is encouraged. It appears that shared accesses are being proposed where feasible. The existing pavement striping along the roadway (turn lanes, etc.) may require revisions when the final access locations are determined; all of which would be performed and funded for by the Applicant: All accesses may be restricted in the future to right -in right -out only if traffic and accident history dictate. Outlot A appears to have existing curb cuts on the north and south side of the property to serve as a future public street connection; this matter will be reviewed when that parcel is developed and/or subdivided. Staff has concerns associated with the access road shown on the north side of the existing parking ramp (between the ramp and proposed apartments). How will vehicles and pedestrians safely maneuver through this area and maintain public access to the parking facility? • There appears to be the potential for public /private conflicts. Sidewalks. An additional two (2) to four (4) foot section of sidewalk must be added (at the Applicant's cost) to the existing .sidewalk along Sunwood Drive, in accordance with the Ramsey Town Center Master Plan, completed Sunwood Drive Streetscape improvements, and City policy. Sidewalks must also be constructed along Civic Center Drive. Construction of any sidewalk section on private property will require the dedication of sidewalk easements. Grading and Drainage: The Sketch Plan does not include grading/drainage information. This information is not required for Sketch Plan Review. However, this information must be submitted with the Final Plat and Site Plan Applications. Easements: It appears that there are 110 drainage and utility easements being proposed with the plat. Easements . for these purposes will be reviewed as part of the final plat and any site plan. As noted previously, sidewalk easements are necessary for any sidewalks proposed on private property, subject to review of the City Attorney. In locations where existing infrastructure is in the ground accommodations must be made to carry those existing easements forward onto this plat, new easement dedicated to cover them, or alternative aligmnents /plans submitted for review. Right -of -Way Dedication: Sufficient right of way was dedicated as part of the plat for the Ramsey Town Center Addition for the buildable lots being proposed. No additional right of way is proposed to be dedicated as part of the plat, which could change if new public roads are proposed. Utilities: City sewer and water are currently stubbed to the Subject Property and will need to be delineated as part of the final plat submittal to assess whether additional connections are necessary. Municipal Water and Sanitary Sewer Trunk (Connection) Charges: The 2010 residential water and sanitary sewer trunk fees are $2,209.00 and $1,271 per unit respectively.. Since the number of units is undetermined as part of the Sketch Plan submittal, the total will be determined as part of the Final Plat and Site Plan review. The proposal may be eligible for credit based on the number of units and net density. Fees for Lots 1, IA, and 3 have already been collected as part of the RAMSEY TOWN CENTER FIFTH ADDITION. Fees for the development of Outlot A will be assessed upon re- platting. The charge in effect at the time the Development Contract is executed will be collected. Municipal Water and Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefit Charges: Since lateral lines are already stubbed to the Subject Property, the plat is subject to the City's standard Lateral Benefit Charge. The 2010 residential water and sanitary sewer trunk fees are $8,777.00 and $3,847.00 per connection 53
