lots being created as part of the plat. The preliminary plat does not show any proposed access to or from the subdivision using Fluorine St. N.W. The development is proposing to use Outlot A and B of Wood Pond Hills 4th Addition in combination with land on the development property to create 7 new single family lots and complete 145th Court. Two existing lots on the south side of 145th Court are shown as receiving additional land in their rear yards. The plat shows three outlots. Outlot A is located across Nowthen Blvd. and currently has the Lord of Life Church sign on it. The applicant is planning on deeding Outlot A to the church. Outlots B and C are planned to be deeded to the two property owners on 145th Court as shown. The drives serving the townhomes and the .apartment building will be private and maintained by the Homeowners Association. Cky ordinances state that private streets shall not be allowed in Ramsey. However, past practice has been to allow them in certain developments. The sketch plan showed an access between the townhomes and apartment building. This has now been removed on the preliminary plat per Planning Commission's direction. All public and private streets shall be named in conformance with the City's street grid pattern. The recently adopted sidewalk ordinance calls for sidewalk to be installed on all roads except cul- de-sacs. Information supplied with the prelim/nary plat only partially complies with the sidewalk ordinance. Addkional sidewalk needs to be constructed on Iodine St.-and that part of 144th Lane northwest of Fluorine Court. The grading and drainage plan is generally acceptable. However, further information regarding the slopes of individual lot grades will be needed to ensure that they are not less than 1%. The Lower Rum River Water Management Agency (LRRWMO) will require a permit for the stormwater drainage into the wetlands. This permit will also address the adequacy of the erosion control measures during construction. A traffic generation analysis was prepared at the developer's expense by SRF, Inc. Their analysis is attached. Staff finds the access and traffic circulation acceptable. Recommendation: City Staff' recommends preliminary plat approval subject to compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated June 1, 2001. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the preliminary plat subject to the City Staff Review Letter dated June 1, 2001.
