Canad~ty Surveying consisting of two sheets and received by the City on June 30, 1995. We are als0 in receipt of the proposed Final Grading Plan and Street and Storm Sewer Plan consisting of thr& sheets prepared by Ulteig Engineers, Inc., and dated June 27 and 28, 1995. We offer the follo4ving comments: 1. Zoning and General: The property is zoned Planned Unit Development and is a part of the approved concept plan for Northfork dated January 1, 1985. The approved preliminary plat for Nd~rthfork Oaks 2nd Addition consisted of 37 lots and the fin:st 10 are proposed to be final pl~tted at this time. · i o 2.

The cul-dd,-sacs should be designated as 162nd Court and 162nd Circle. The cul-de-sac lengths do pot exceed the 600 foot maximum length standard. Drainagei and Easements: The Final Grading Plan submitted accepts street runoff at two locatiCns and conducts drainage into a series of man-made ponds which ultimately outlet to alnatural wetland adjacent to Trott Brook on the western edge of the plat.
