The final plat consists of one (1) final plat sheet dated June 4, 2002, and .Grading, Construction, and Landscaping Plant consisting of six (6) sheets and dated June 4, 2002. and prepared by Midwest. Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers, Inc. We offer the following comments: General: The subject property is approximately 8.7 acres in size (7.1 acres with major fight-of- way factored out) and is generally located in the southwest quadrant of T.H. #47 and Alpine Dr. The final plat submitted proposes to develop the property with 42 townhome umts. The townhomes received site plan approval at the May 14, 2002 City Council meeting. Zoning:. The subject property is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential. In the R2 District, the property can be developed to a density not to exceed 7 traits an acre. Density: The subject'property is approximately 8.75 acres and the 42 umts proposed results in a gross density of 4.82 units per acre. Net density of the project is 5.91 units per acre. Streets.: The sole access to all 42 units is from Alpine Dr. at a location approximately 400 feet west of TH 47. This location is beyond the median on Alpine Drive and full turning movements are possible at this access. Stafffinds the Alpine Dr. access acceptable. City Ordinances limit the length of a cul-de-sac to 600 feet. The extended right-of-way as shown on the plat greatly exceeds the 600-foot limit. City Ordinances also require that the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the 'continuation of existing and future streets into adjoining areas. You have applied for and received a variance to the cul-de-sac length limit. The right-of-way shown on the final plat is consistent with what was previously reviewed. A temporary cul~de-sac is proposed to be placed near the southern boundary of the plat to facilitate the movement of vehicles. An access easement will need to be recorded with Anoka County for the area where the temporary cul-de-sac will be located. Please provide the City a copy of this easement for their review and approval. The temporary cul-de-sac will be signed as a future thru street. -217-
