Preliminary Plat Review: Centex Addition July 5, 2001 Page 3 of 5 ll. 12. All ponding areas must be dedicated as drainage and utility easements as well as have a minimum of twenty (20) foot wide easement for access. All areas where there are storm sewers must have at least a 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement. The standard 10 foot (5 foot on common property lines) drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of each lot should be shown on the final plat. Stormwater Manaaement Fee: The City has established a storm water management fee of $375 per unit that must be paid prior to release of the final plat for recording. REU Number: The City has enacted a quarterly drainage utility charge that is applicable to each unit in the proposed development. Traffic Generation Analysis: During sketch plan review, a traffic generation analysis was prepared based upon the submission ar the time. The preliminary, plat has reduced the overall number of lots from 157 to 155 units, which w/Il proportionately reduce the overall traffic generated from the development. However, the internal street changes within the development are significant, and the traffic subdistricts are being reviewed. A revised analysis w/ll be prepared and presented at the Planning Commission meeting on July 12. The revised report will describe the traffic impact, s to the areas adjacent to the development. Staff has concerns over the revised street system. The straight ali~,mm-nents of 155th Lane and of Waco Street make these two streets particularly strong candidates for future traffic calming requests. In addition, the revised plan creates three more cul-de-sacs than the original plan. The lack ofthrough streets increases traffic on the remaining through street which in mm exasperates the traffic calming issues, Tree Preservation Plan: As stated at the time of Sketch Plan Review, the Preliminary Grading and Erosion Control Plan does identify existing tree growth and removal limits. The addition of one 2.5 inch dbh tree to each lot needs to be stared on the Plan. Sidewalks. In accordance with City Code, sidewalks are proposed on,one side of all non cul- de-sac streets. TSze Park Commission recommended that the sidewalk on X!dmo Street be located on the west versus the east side of the road; a modifmation to the preliminary plat is required. Sidewalks are not park dedication credit eligible.
