The property is located west of T.H. g47 at about 157th m~d 158th. The following items are enclosed: a) Apple Ridge general location map e) b) Proposed final plat f) e) Approved preliminary plat g) d) Approved phasing plan City Staff Review Letter 5/6/98 Proposed final plat resolution Proposed development agreement Observations: The property was rezoned to R-1 Urban Residential on June 10, 1997. The preliminary plat for Apple Ridge approved on June 24, 1997 consisted of approximately 58 acres proposed to be developed into 127 single family lots served by sanitary sewer and municipal water. The first phase consisted of 34 lots, the second was for 17 lots, the third for 24, the fourth for 21; and now the 5th for 30, for a total of 127 lots. Access to this phase will also be from T.H.//47, which is intended to be in place until north/south streets within the plat are extended outside the plat to funnel traffic north to 160th or south to 156th. Development of this final phase will also open up 157th and 158th Lanes to the west for access to C.S.A.H. #5. Residents of Halls Dover Acres had previously requested that Council order a lead link closure between their neighborhood and Apple Ridge. The Development Agreement has been drafted with a provision for a closure in the event Council approves the closure. If not, the provision will be eliminated from the development agreement accordingly. All of the lots exceed the 10,800 square foot minimum area requirement, and the lots along the west boundary of the plat have been designed so as not to exceed the established density of the adjacent rural residential lots. The development agreement has been drafted to prohibit resubdivision of these lots until such time as the adjacent rural lots resubdivide to a lesser density. The standard drainage and utility easements have been provided around the perimeter of the lot. On February 13, 1997, the Park Commission recommended that park dedication consist of a cash payment which will potentially be utilized to acquire property in the area for a neighborhood/community park I'kS-
