I I I I I I I I I I I I I One alternative considered access to the single family units via a private street. Several setback and lot size variances would be required. Additionally, staff has concerns regarding how well single-family participation in the private street would work with the townhouse association. A second alternative considered a public street with a cul-de-sac. The net result of this proposal resulted in the street servicing one or two single-family lots. In staff's opinion, the benefits of eliminating two access points from Alpine Dr. is greatly outweighed by the alternatives considered above. Sanitary Sewer Trunk Line: The City Council discussed the extension of the sanitary sewer trunk line into the development and how it will be financed at a work session on October 8, 2002 On October 8, 2002, the City Council tabled action on the preliminary plat in order see the following items; 1) concept plan that shows how the 16-unit townhomes would be laid out in relation to the two-unit townhomes, 2) a sketch plan showing, in case the 16-unit townhomes are not allowed, alternative townhome buildings to the east, 3) traffic generation study, 4) language regarding the construction of the sanitary sewer trunk line and the financial responsibilities of the City and developer in constructing the trunk line. In response 'to the tabling motion on October 8th, staff has the following information: The concept plans showing the 16-unit townhomes and another alternative are included with the case for your information. The traffic generation analysis is included with the case and will be discussed by the City Engineers on Oct. 22, 2002. The traffic generation report was prepared by James Johnson P.E. with Hakanson Anderson Associates. Exhibit H and I of the report illustrate the total daily trips and peak hourly trips lonto the arterial roads adjacent to the proposed subdivision. In addition, the report updates a previous report prepared on May 14, 2002 which examined cumulative traffic impacts of Evergreen Point, Alpine Meadows, Wildlife Sanctuary 2nd Addition, and Sunflower Ridge. The cumulative effects of the above mentioned subdivisions along with the additional units associated with Villas of Meadow Point were evaluated for its impact on the three major intersections which include TH 47 and Alpine Dr., CSAH 5 and Alpine Dr., and CR 57 and Alpine Dr. Each of these intersections currently operates at a high level of service, even during the AM and PM peaks. The additional traffic generated from the surrounding developments are not expected to deteriorate the level of service of the intersections after full build-out. At the October 8, 2002 City Council work session, the City Council agreed in concept to a funding arrangement that was proposed by the Developer. The funding proposal that the City Council conceptually agreed to is as follows: The City agrees to contribute a not to exceed amount of $150,000.00 to the cost of constructing a 30" trunk sanitary sewer line from its existing location to the north right-of-way of Alpine Dr. NW. -301-
