Review Letter Northfork Itasca Shores November 29, 1995 Page 2 of 2 Bituminous Trail: In exchange for a cul-de-sac length that is nearly twice as long as code allows, City Staff recommended that an easement be provided off the end of the cul- de-sac to connect with the existing trail easement running east and west in the power line easement. In an emergency situation, these easements could be used as an altemate access to or from the neighborhood. In addition, Staff is recommending that the developer be required to pave a 9 foot wide path in these easements south and west to I53rd to facilitate travel by emergencY vehicles. The developer is also being requested to pave this trail to the east to connect with the existing trail. The City will reimburse the developer for paving the trail to the east at a rate of $6.00 per foot. The City needs to resolve with the Developer how the trail will extend to the east to connect with the existing trail system: i.e., can the trail traverse the lake easement to the east? Drainage and Easements: The drainage plan calls for the installation of a storm sewer down the length of Itasca Circle. This storm sewer will collect runoff from the Itasea Circle as well as from approximately 500 fe~t of Andrie Street between 153rd and Itasca Circle. This will improve the drainage situation further down Andrie Street. The rear yards of Lots 1 through 6 drain overland into Lake Itasca. The rear yards of Lots 7 through 11 can be drained to a storm sewer manhole located in the rear yard of Lot 8. This storm sewer line will carry drainage from a section of 153rd Avenue. The existing storm pipe terminates a short distance north of 153rd Avenue and it continues to transmit runoff through a ditch. This ditch system should be replaced with a closed conduit storm sewer. Finally, a sedimentation pond is provided for runoff from ail paved surfaces prior to discharge into Lake Itasca. It is recommended that this sedimentation pond be relocated from the rear of Lots 4 and 5 and be placed adjacent to Itasea Circle to better facilitate cleaning without disturbing homeowner landscaping. Tree Preservation and Planting Plan: Language should be added to the Grading Plan to reflect that there will be one 2-inch diameter tree planted in the front yard of each lot. Care should be taken to preserve the wooded areas in the northeast comer of the plat.s The Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 5, 1995 to conduct the public hearing and consider your request for preliminary plat approval of Northfork Itasca Shores. It is important that you, or your representative, be present at the meeting to answer any questions that may arise.
