Case #5: Request for Final Plat Approval of Sunflower Ridge; Case of Oakwood Land Development Community Development Director Frolik explained that Oalcwood Land Development has applied for final plat approval of a townhome development proposed to be named Sunflower Ridge. The property is generally located north of Alpine Drive and west of Highway #47. The property was recently rezoned from B-1 and B-2 Business to R-3 Urban Residential which allows seven units per acre. The preliminary plat approved by the City Council on May 28, 2002 consisted of 126 townhome units. The proposal at this time is to final plat the first 59 units. The final plat substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat. In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, Iodine will be platted as a public street that runs from the south to the north boundary of the plat. Germanium Street and 154th Lane NW will extend into Evergreen Point to the east and 154t~' Avenue NW will be developed to the west boundary of the plat. The temporary cul-de-sac of 154th Avenue will be signed as a future through street. The final plat encumbers all common open spaces, including the wetlands, with drainage and utility easements. City Engineer Olson has reviewed the Final Grading Plans, Construction Plans, and Specifications. The City Staff Review Letter dated July 18 itemizes the required modifications and corrections have been recommended to the plans. Council's approval of the preliminary plat was granted with certain contingencies that have been addressed as follows: A positive sto~Tnwater outlet is being provided to the east, will be constructed by Edina Development, and will be proportionately cost shared between the three developments (Sunflower Ridge, Evergreen Point, Wildlife Sanctuary 2''~ Addition.) With respect to the requirement for a trunk sanitary sewer line or preservation of a 100 foot wide corridor for same, the developers have chosen to install the trunk facility through Wildlife Sanctuary 2'~a Addition and, therefore, this contingency has been addressed. Funding of the sewer and water trunks, lift station and stormwater improvements have been addressed in the development agreement for Council's review. Rezoning to medium density residential was approved on June 11. There aren't any trees to preserve in the first phase of Sunflower Ridge. Councilmember Hendriksen asked about the size of the total parcel. City Council/July 23, 2002 Page 16 of 30 I I I ! I I I I I I I I I I I I ! I I
