10. 11. 12. 13. -290- southeast portion of the development. Maximum grades adjacent to water bodies are six horizontal to one vertical. Some of the slopes are nearly twice this steep. Retaining wails or special landscape measures should be considered to reducing these slopes or minimizing the erosion potential of these areas. During the Planning Commission public hearing, a resident was concerned with the location of the northwest drainage pond. The Planning Commission, as a condition for approval, instructed the developer to work with the resident at finding other solutions in regards to the location of the northwest drainage pond. Please provide staff with an update in regards to this matter. Traffic Generation Analysis: A traffic generation analysis was completed by SKF, Inc. in regards to this proposed plat. A copy of the report is attached. The City will plan on implementing the recommendations of the consultant. Utilities and Water Usage: The development will be served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. A utility plan has been submitted and is generally acceptable with the following comments; 1) Watermain on cul-de-sacs may be reduced from eight inch pipe to six inch pipe; 2) The apartment building should be looped between Dysprosium Street and the eastern most townhouse watermain. This will provide two sources of flow to the apartment building; 3) An eight inch waterline should be extended between Lot 6 and 7 of Block 5 to provide future service to Fluorine Street. Tree Preservation Plan: The Planning Commission reviewed the original tree preservation and instructed you to revise the tree preservation plan in order to preserve as many trees on the peninsula, along the existing trail, and around the perimeter of the development property. A new tree preservation plan was submitted to staff and will be reviewed by the City Council L House on Lot '),~, Block 1: At the Planning Commission meeting, area residents were concerned about the size of a house on Lot 2, Block 1. You have submitted a site plan and floor plan to locate a house on this lot that meets City Ordinances. Park Dedication: The preliminary plat was forwarded to the Park Commission for its June 20, 2001 meeting. The City has the option for cash, land, or a combination of the two. The current rate for park dedication is $1300 per unit; there is also a trail development fee of $325 per unit. The decision of the Park Commission will be reflected in the development agreement for The Ponds. Environmental Review: As part of the review process, staff determined that The Ponds subdivision was not subject to a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) since the subdivision is below the mandatory EAW thresholds. The Planning Commission, as a condition of approval of the preliminary plat, instructed staff to research the applicability of Federal environmental regulations to this subdivision. Staff will update the City Council in regards to this matter at their meeting on June 26, 2001. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
