Coon Rapids, Mn 55433 Request for revised prelimina~, plat of Chestnut Hill and final plal of Chestnut Hill 5th Add/don Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received you submittal for a revision to the preliminary plat for Chestnut Hill and final plat of Chestnut Hill 5th Addition. The revision consists of Sheet 1 of 2 ~awn by Cherrier Land Sum, eyors, lnc., dated received by the City on June 28, 1994. W~. offer the following comments: .(..,eneral: The recent amendments to wefla_nd regulations have necessi~ted redesigning the western portion of 145th Lane to avoid consrructin~ a road through the wetland. Number of Lots: The total number of tots approved in 1990 for Chestnut Hill was 102. With the current proposal for revision, the total number of lots in the 5th Addition would decrease from the 1'7 originally approved to 14, for a loss of 3 tots. However. the deveioper gained 2 tots by a redesign of Chesmut H/il 4th Adchtion.' Therefore, the total number of lots overall for Chestnut Hill would be Lot Sizes: All lots in the proposed revision to the 5th Addition meet the rmnimum area and dimensional requirements. Streel-$, The street lavout proposed does accomplish the goal of providing convenient access to S'unwood Drive for ,~'affic generated along. :145th Lane. In addition, the plat suggests the potent/al for the creation of two additional lots west of the park on the Deemer proper'L',', it is unclem- as to what use would become of the Deemer properly south of the two parcels created. A park access connection from Sunwood Dr-ire to Hunters Hill Park is desired. The street alignment of 145th Lane, $unwood Drive, and the extension of Tungsten to Sunwood Drive define a three acre trapezoidal property. '-Fne size and shape of this area warrant some consideration as to how it rrfight be subdivided to fit into the adjacent land use. The prelimina,D, plat should ilius,-:ate how r.his parcel can bt reasonably subdivided. We would su,o~est that a cul-de-sac se,'wicino this parcel off of ]45th Lane would be the most preferable alternative, although others may exist, It might dso be possible to shift the intersection of 145th Lane N.W. with £unwood Drive to the west to augment the area w/thin this u-apezoidal area, if that would result in more desireable lot sizes and shapes within this area.
