The wea, terly north/south street has been platted to the boundary of the adjacent property to accomm~odate extension and future development of the parcel to the north. The east/west street, which will be 149th, has been proposed with an outlet onto Hwy. #47. lni~tial comments from Mn/DOT regarding the access onto Hwy. #47 were negative, however, subsequent conversations with Mn/DOT have suggested the possibility of the 149th LAne connection in conjunction with closing the access north of 152nd on the west side of I~wy. #47. Two ingress/egress points are essential for servicing the number of lots propose~ to be created. The developer must apply to Mn/DOT for a right of access permit. in accorflance with preliminary comments from Mn/DOT, the developer is proposing to declicateIS0 feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Hwy. #47. ]~li!tx3g~ A drainage and grading plan will need to be developed. This plan should expand t,.he topography to include adjacent areas since the areas to the north and east contain protected wetlands. A DNR protected wetland exists on the south boundary of the project. This wetland is a two basin system which ultimately has an OHW outflow which discharges to the Rum River. The proposed drai,nage system should make use of the exisfing~rotected wetlands to alternate the 'bounce of the water level following a storm event un, interconnect the wetlands to provide an outlet for the system. Utilities: The developer is proposing to install the public improvements (streets, storm sewer, s~'wer and water) with no financial participation on the part of the City. p~rk Deflicm;iOn: At a minimum, park dedication will consist of continuation of a trail parallel t~ Hwy. #47. As with Amber Ridge, the trail and homes should be buffered from Hwy. #4~ with a landscaped berm. Accordingly,. the developer has provided a 40 foot right-of-Way for trail and screening berm. The berm should not be as wide as the one construc~d in Amber Ridge as it forces the u-ail to rest on the property lines of adjacent lots. Th~ plat will be reviewed by the Park Commission. The Planning arid Zoning Commission will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 2, to consider your request for sketch plan review of Willow Ridge. I suggest that you, or your representative, b~. present at the meeting to answer any questions that may arise. If you have any questions, please feel free to call at 427-1410.
