Preliminary Plat Review: Alpine Meadows January 31, 2002, Revised March 28, 2002 Page 3 of 4 and the T.H. #47 service road, wkich in turn drains overland to protected Wetland #658W. This wetland has an outlet to the Rum River. Stormwater generated from the development should be routed to the existing pond. From review of the drainage plan, it appears the development meets this requirement. A grading plan has been submitted with the preliminary plat: Under City Ordinances, all yard grades shall be no flatter than one percent. Grades between one and two percent require a certificate of grading before the units can be fully constructed. The grading plan proposes grades of less than one percent behind Lots 14-22,'Block 1 and Lots 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18, Block 2. These grades must be modified to a minimum of one percent. Critical swale grades should be annotated to the grading plan at the extensiOn of each end unit. The northeast corner of the parcel will have standing water as it will remain lower than the surrounding and proposed grades. The grading plan should be modified to correct this deficiency. Based on an inspection of the National Wetland Inventory- map, there appears to be no wetlands on this property. This project is also subject to the review and permitting process of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO). Please contact Steve Jankowski to discuss the submittal deadlines and requirements for the LRRWMO. Traffic Generation Analy. sjs: The City may require a traffic analysis to be conducted for the development if it is deemed necessary. Utilities and Water Usage: The development will be served by municipal Water and sanitary sewer. Currently, utilities exist on the property. However, they are without drainage and utility easements. The final plat shall show drainage and utility easements' of sufficient width where sewer and water lines-are located. It appears that Lots 14 through 22, Block 1, may encroach in the easement width necessary to protect the existing 15-inch storm sewer. From staff review, it appears that it may be difficult to have decks on the units in Lots 14-22. Please contact City Engineer Steve Jankowski regarding the required. widths of the easements. Park and Trail Dedication: The Park Commission has reviewed the proposed subdivision and is requiring that park dedication fees in the amount of $1700 per unit be collected in lieu of land dedication; that trail fees in the amount of $400 per unit be collected; that the developer indicate an area within the subdivision of common open space that can be used for active or passive recreation, and that the applicant dedicate through a separate recordable document a twenty-foot trail easement Parallel with State Hwy. 47. -'179-
