We offer the followin~ comments: 1. General: The proposed plat is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is located in the Urban Reserve District. The plat consists of approximately 24 acres to be subdivided into a 10 acre lot and a 12 acre lot. Access to Lots: It will be necessary to extend 151st Lane N.W. into the plat ~ a cut-de-sac to provide public access to both of the lots. The extension of 151st as proposed would require the destruction of a major Red Oak tree. Consideration should be given to realigning the road to facilitate preservation of the tree. The developer will ~ required to construct the cul- de-sac to City standards. The Developer ~s required to submit the street p[tans to the City Eneneer for review and approval prior to commencing any construction. ~-I.~ot Sizes and Dimensions: Both lots meet the 10-acre minimum lot size r~quirement for the Urban Reserve District. The purpose for requiring rtlinimum ten acre lot sizes in the Urban Reserve District is that larger size 14~ts can be relatively easily resubdivided to accommodate their ultimate urban denistw. In accordance with City Code, the Developer has provided a Future Subdivision Plan. Soils: City Code has adopted a standard of 25% of a 2-1/2 acre lot or ~7,225 square feet being Class I soils for acceptable creation of an on-site epdc system. Both of the lots meet this requirement. o Drainage and Utility Easements: The Preliminary Plat submittal includes a Grading and Drainage Plan consisting of one (1) sheet drawn by Michael J. Trunk, Polaris Land Surveying, dated September 12, 1994. The Grading a~d Drainage Plan would need to be revised to address the handling of runoff and erosion control measures. The plat contains the standards ten (!0) foot drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of each of the tWO lots-.
