-218- Streetsl The major access into the development [s [ocated on CSAH 5,750 feet northwest of the intersection with Dysprosium St. This access is located approximateiy 300 feet southeast of the access into Lord of Life, which is a significant traffic source. TI'ds separation distance is adequate to prevent conflicts between vehicles entering CSAH 5 from those two locations. A second access is the connection with the existing mrminus of Iodine St. in the Wood Pond Hills 5~ Addition. There is no connection with Fluor/ne St. located in Se Flinrwood Frills subdivision to the south: Sheet 3 of the submittal illustrates the manner in. which access from the townhome units are to connect to the public streets via driveway collectors. The street driveway access from Lots 17~23, Block 6 onto the main subdivision street is problematic, due to potential safety concerns with vehicles bacldng into the street. You have submitted a reconflguration of these tots that limit the amount of accesses on the new Iodine St. Tlzis solution appears to be acceptable. It Mil need to be acknowledged in the development agreement that snow removal from the driveways will be d~e responsibility of the Townhouse Association. The City of Ramsey sidewalk ordinance calls for sidewalk to be installed on all public roads except cut-de-sacs. Sidewalks will be required on one side of the street on Iodine St., Fluorine Court, 143~ Lane, 144~ Lane, and 144m CircLe. Generally, when no other conditions dictate their siting, the north and east sides of streets are preferred due to better snow and [ce melt conditions. Lots: )ali of the lots meet the minimum dimensional and area requirements. The DN~ and 'City staff has reviewed the proposed subdivision and has found that all lots within the Shore[and District compiy with shoreland regulations. Lan=mange will be put in the development a~eement requiring Lots 1-7, Block: I to maintain a shore impact zone, 50-foot area where ao vegetation w/II be allowed to be cut. Performance Standards: Ske Plan Review of the towr&omes and apartment building will establish appropriate performance standards relating to setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping, parking, screening, architectural standards, minimum floor areas, etc. Oradin~ and Drainage: The site has a rolling topography and is bounded on the west and south by DN'R protected wetland 114p. Drainage from the development is collected by storm sewer and is trasmitted into four detention ponds which are located throughout the development. The exception to this are the seven single family lots on I45a Courz which will drain eastward into the detention pond located at 145a and lunJdte Street. The adequacy of these basins will need to be confirmed by the Lower Rum R/ver Water Management Agency (LKR. WMO) through their permitting process. This permit will also address the adequacy of the erosion control measures during construction. M1 yard grades must be greater than one percent. Grades flatter than two percent will be required to have a grading certificate showing that the actual grade conforms to the approved grading plan prior to an occupancy permit being issued. The existing grading plan needs to be revised so that elevations are-listed at each lot corner. The gades along the rear lot lines I I I i I I
