Case #5: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Brandseth; Case of Blaine Edmundson Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Blaine Edmundson is requesting preliminary plat approval of Brandseth. The plat is located in the southwest comer of the intersection of 153rd Avenue and T.H. //47 and consists of approximately 22.5 acres proposed to be platted into 45 single family residential lots served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. An ouflot adjacent to T.H. #47 will be retained for commercial uses. All lots meet minimum area requirements, and minimum width requirements are met either at the street frontage or building setback line. The plat will receive access from 153rd Avenue, and all lots will receive access from interior streets. The one cul-de-sac doesn't exceed the maximum length restriction, and 152nd Avenue is platted to the west boundary to provide future access to City-owned property. The City will request an additional 27 feet of right-of-way along T.H. #47; the current preliminary plat proposes dedicating 17 feet. City Engineer Jankowski expressed concern that drainage discharging onto private property still needs to be addressed. He felt that there would be such a discharge from a spring melt. Upon checking with the consultant working on the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Plan, the amount of run-off from a spring precipitation/snow melt 100-year event could be up to 7 inches. The property owner to the north, Mr. Niles, response to this information was one of caution. Chairperson Bawden inquired if the property to the north was wetland. He noted that he was aware mud runs OCcur there, but wondered whether it was a wetland. Jankowski replied that it does not appear on the National Wetland Inventory map, however it should be delineated. Mr. Jankowski went on to say that, in theory, this is not an unacceptable scheme, but there has to be some agreements made. He discussed the disadvantages of drainage to the south, and als0 drainage to the east He concluded that there are a number of options, but it is important to obtain the legal drainage rights for whichever option is chosen. Commissioner Hendriksen inquired if a 7-inch rain needs to be accommodated, and Mr. Jankowski responded that a 7-inch rain would be a 100-year event. Commissioner Deemer commented that a frozen ground thaw like that which occurred last year would be a 100-year event, and Mr. Jankowski agreed. Commission Hendriksen again inquired what event needs to be planned for, and Mr. Jankowski replied that it would need to be designed for a 100-year event if there were structures surrounding, but there is a field there, so it is probably not necessary. Mr. Jankowski went on to discuss the importance of a looping water system. Chairperson Bawden inquired about the concem brought up at the public hearing by A1 Kempf regarding his driveway and trees being tore up to accommodate bringing the trunk lines through.
