'7. Streetst The development will gain primary access from Nowthen Blvd. and secondary access to Iodine St. N.W. As part of the plat, 145~h Coum will be e×tended another 200 feet to serve additional lots being created as part of the plat. The sketch plan does not show any proposed access to or fi.om the subdivision using Fluorine St. N.W. Three cul- de-sacs will be created to serve the single-fatally'lots. The drives se~wing the townhomes and the apartment building will be private and maintained by the Homeowners Association. City ordinances state that private streets shall not be allowed in Kamsey. However, past practice has been to allow them in certain developments. AIl public and private streets shall be named in conformance with the City's street grid pauern. The recently adopted sidewalk ordinance calls for sidewalk to be installed on all roads except cul-de-sacs. Information supplied with the preliminary, plat only partially compties with the sidewalk ordinance. Additional sidewalk needs to be constructed on Iodine St. and that part of 144~ Lane northwest of Fluorine Court. The preliminary plat does show a continuation of the City trail system through this property. This will be reviewed in further detail by the Park Co .mmission. Lots: &dl of the lots meet the minimum dimensional and area requirements. Eighteen lots are subject to regulations governing shoretands. These lots all meet the dimensional and lot width requirements for the Shoreland District Performance Standards: 'Site Plan Review of the tOwnhomes and apartment building will establish appropriate perfon-nance standards relating to setbacks, tot coverage, landscaping, parking, screening, architectural standards, minimum floor areas, etc. Gradin= and Drainage: The site has a rolling topography and is bounded, on the west and south by DNR protected wetland 114p. Drainage fi.om the development is collected by storm sewer and is transmitted into four detention ponds which are located throughout the development. The exception to this are the seven single family lots on 145m Court which will drain eastward into the detention pond located at 145~ and Junkite Street. The adequacy of these basins will need to be confirmed by the Lower Rum River Water Management Agency (LRRYVNiO)-through their permitting process. This permit will also address the adequacy of the erosion control measures during construction. ,adl 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 tot connection. The plan also proposes steep grades along the sedimentation pond and wetland in the southeast portion of'the development. Maximum grades adjacent to water bodies are six
