The plat consists of two (2) sheets drawn bgt Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc., with a print date of March 20, 1995. As a result of our ~eeting on April 19, we understand that the final plat for River's Bend 4th Addition will be regised to eliminate the platting of Outiot E, River's Bend 3rd Addition as Lot 1, Block 1, River's Bead 4th Addition. We offer the following comments: [ General. The platiis a subsequent phase of an approved preliminary plat and proposes to plat Outlot F of River's Bend 3rd Addition into 15 residential lots. According to the preliminary plat, there would be 8 co ~m'nerciaI lots yet to be platted following River's Bend 4th Addition. Zoning. The lots ~e zoned R-1 Urban Residential. Lot Area and .~mens]ons. The plat ~s ~n the Scemc River Overlay D~stnct for whmh the minimum lot area iT 12,150 square feet. Although each of the lots do not contain a minimum of 12,150 square feeMthe average lot size in River's Bend 3rd and 4th Additions overall exceeds 12, I50 square feetiand this was acceptable to DNR at the time of preliminary plat approval. Although the lots m~eting the minimum width requirements, depth wise they are quite constricted and this substantially limits the style of home that can be built on the lots. City Staff is recommending that ~ither the radius of the cul-de-sacs be reduced to 50 feet or 10 foot variances to the front yard setbacks on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12 be granted to give more flexibility to the styles of homes :that will fit on the lots. Streets. Neither oflthe cul-de-sacs exceed the 600 foot maximum length restriction. In accordance with .the approved preliminary plat, Xldmo Street consists of 70 feet of right-of-way and will be develop ~d up to the northwest boundary of the plat. The connection of Xkimo to T.H. #47 will be developed when the commercial lots are platted. The plat has been forwarded to Mn/DOT and Anoka County Highway Department for review and comment regarding the alignment of the X~mo intersection as it relates to the future relocation of the T.H.#47 and C.S.A.H. #5 intersection. The County Highway Department has indicated they would not comment adverselybn the location of Xkimo Street. The location of Xldmo Street as proposed in the plat will be the future relocation of the C.S.A.H. #5 intersection with T.H. #47. It is certain that the commemial ~lots presently designated as Out. lots C and E will benefit from the reworking of the 5/47 intersectiotl and the connection of XIdmo to that intersection. As a result of the April 19 meeting between City Staff and the developers, it is agreed Outlots C and E of River's Bend 3rd Addition will be r~sponsible for 50% of the City's share of the cost of improvements to the 5/47/Xkimo. i
