Preliminary Plat Review: River Pines 5~' Addition December 26, 2001 Page 3 of 5 The City has enacted an ordinance that requires an elevation survey at the time of footing inspection to ensure compliance with the approved final grading plan. The grading plan shall identify which type of house style (i.e. walkout, lookout, rambler, etc) is permitted on each lot. No grades shall be flatter than 1%. Grades flatter than 2% will require a certificate of grading prior to an occupancy permit being granted. Lots 1, 2, 6 and 7 of Block 2 currently are shown to 'be flatter than 2%. The requirement for an elevation survey on all footing inspections and the requirement for a certificate of grading on lots with less than a 2% grade shall be stated on the final grading plan. On the Preliminary Grading Plan, the "Note: Low opening for Block 2 is 887.5" and the information provided in the "Building Pad Legend" conflict. Additionally, consideration of full basements should be given to block 2. The grading plan proposes to provide an overflow from the pond to the west that drains the road and then outlets to a swale that directs the flow through private property to the County ditch system. Discharge of water over private property should no.t be done without permission from the affected property owners. All invert elevations shall be provided on the final grading plan. Easements. The standard 10'-foot drainage and utility easements (5 feet on common property lines) are provided around 'the perimeter of all lots. The preliminary plat identifies an easement along the north property line proposed to be vacated. A legal descr/pfion of the easement to be vacated' is necessary in order to start vacation proceedings. The City is asking for a 100' x 100' foot temporary easement at the extension of t58m Lane N.W. for the purpose of a temporary cul-de-sac to accommodate emergency vehicles and snowplows this winter. This temporary easement will expire upon successful completion of the platting process. Trail Fees and Development: The City has also enacted a trail development fee. The current rate is $325.00 per new lotcreated; in this case the trail development fee will be applied to 17 lots and the existing homestead is exempt. The rate in effect at the time of final plat approval will apply. The 2002 rate is $400.00. I I I I i i I I I I I I I I I I I -168-
