Review Letter: Sunfish Estates December 28, 1995 Page 2 o 2 ~ It appears that the cd--de-sac exceeds the 600 foot maximum established by City Code by appro×im~tely 200 feet This situation could b~ avoided by mlocating the access mad to the south by this clistancc. Cam should also be taken to ensure that the extension of thc lake frontage roadway north of thc plat allow future lake frontage lots to meet the shoreland setback requirement, as it appears thc shomland continues to drift eastward north of the plat boundaries. ~ Thc submittal of a Grading and Drainage Plan is required at the time of Preliminary Plat approval. Any exporting of softs from the site will require a conditional us~ permit. Tree Preservation and Planting Plan: At the tlme ofprellmlnary plat approval, the submitlal must include an addendum to the Grading Plan that identifies existing trees, trees to be preservied during construction, along with the method of preservation, and the planting of one 2 inch diameter tree in the front yard of each lot. I0. ~: It is Staffs understanding that the site improvements will be installed as a private project with no financial participation on the part of the City. It will be necessary for the fee title owner of the property to petition the City for the extension of the trunk lines. Park Dedication: The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed a draft sketch plan at their December meeting. Staff was directed to iden'dfy probable lake access points on Sunfish Lake with the developer and show where users of the sidewalk might view the lake from the road right-of-way. In addition, the Commission recommended that the City and the developer work together to salvage as many trees as possible for the Sunwood Drive boulevard. The December 12 sketch plan will be forwarded to the Commission in January. tl.
