Preliminary Plat Review: Villas at Meadow Point August 20, 2002, Revised September 20, 2002, Revised October 4, 2002, Re~xased October 18, 2002 Page 3 of 7 The extension of these streets was an issue of discussion at the public hearings. The neighbor to the west objected to the concept of physically having a street extended to her property line. Likewise, the resident to the east felt that the location of the street stub might not be at the best location to serve future development of his property. The Planning Commission recommended that the street to the west not be installed, but that an outlot be create, d which would be dedicated to the City for street purposes should the need for it arise. The Planning Commission also recommended that the road to the east be incorporated into the larger outlot. In this way, the location of the future road could be delayed until such time as the development of Outlot A is considered. The preliminary plat revision submitted does not incorporate the street right-of-way into the larger outlots. The final plat shall show one large outlot on the eastern part of the property. A permit from Anoka County will be required for access onto CSAH 57. County staff has verbally indicated that the access is acceptable pending a sightline study that will determine the need and location of turn and bypass lanes, Staff has viewed both access points to the proposed subdivision and has made the observation that ali approaches exceed the recommended ten second reaction period with the exception of northbound traffic on Sunfish Lake Blvd. (CR 57) at 154~' Ave. This approach offers approximatelY seven seconds of reaction time. You will need to comply with the directions of the Anoka County Highway Department relative to this issue. The plat proposes four new single family lots with dkect access to Alpine Dr. It is desirable to minimize the number of accesses onto Municipal State Aid streets. The City Council has' asked you to consider options of serving the single-family lots from the rear. Please be prepared to discuss this matter with the City Council. The duplex lots are proposed to be served by driveway collectors and a private street with a cul-de-sac. The driveway collectors and private streets servicing Block 2 are 32 feet wide and may have on-street parking.. The two temporary:dead ends must be designed with temporary cul-de-sacs. The private' street serving Block 3 must be a minimum of 32 feet wide. The private drive serving Block 1 must be equipped with a turn around. Grading and Drainage: Staff has reviewed the drainage and grading plan and finds the plan generally acceptable with the following comments: · A permit from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization and the MPCA will be required for this development. · Spot elevations need to be provided on the extensions of the building pads. A revised grading and drainage plan must be provided to the City before you will receive approval of the grading and drainage plans. 10.
