Coon Rapids, MN 55433 Re: Final Plat Review; Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received the proposed final plat for Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition drawn by Passe Engineering and dated received by the City on December 11, 1995. We offer the following commen ts: ~ The subject property is zoned R-1 Urban Residential and is permissible for development with single family residential lots. General~ The approved preliminary plat consists of approximately 65 acres to be developed with munieipai water and sanitary sewer and subdivided into 71 single family lots. At the time of preliminary plat approval, it was indicated that the development would most likely occur in phases and the proposal under review proposes to final plat the first 29 lots. For the record, the City should be provided with a copy of the phasing plan. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The minimum lot width in the R-1 Urban Residential District is 80 feet, or 90 feet on comer lots, and the minimum lot area is 10,800 square feet. It appears that all of the lots meet the area requirement and the width requirement is met either at the street frontage or building setback line. It should be noted that the footprint for some of todays more popular home styles in conjunction with the location of the ordinary high water mark results in some marginal back yards (15' - 20' deep) on Lots 6, 7 and 8 of Block 5. Streets ~and Access to Lots: The first leg of the westerly extension of Sunwood Drive throughithat area receiving preliminary plat approval as Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition is provided. None of the lots in this phase of ChestnUt Ridge 2nd will have direct access onto Sunwood Drive. In accordance with Staffs recommendation at the time of preliminary plat approval, 146th Lane N.W. has been platted as a through street to the south off of Sunwood Drive rather than as an 'eyebrow'. However, 146th Lane N.W. should be identified as 147th Lane N.W. Drainage: The pat provides drainage easements consistent with the approved grading and drainaga plan dated June 24, 1994. This plat drains to Wetland l14P at two locations. Both locations provide sedimentationprior to discharge into the wetand.
