Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 12/14/1989

Home

Mr. Gerald Zimmerman Page 2 December 5, 1989 10o 11. 12. 13. 14. No street plans, profiles, or specifications were submitted, thus comments are reserved until such time that they have been received. Drainage and utility easements should be shown for individual lots as well as the plat itself. A 50' wide drainage easement on each side of County ditch should also be shown. No grading plans were submitted thus comments are reserved until they have been received. Approximately half of the lots have less than a 200' street frontage. However, this is permissible under the concept of a P.U.D. Mininum lot frontage in areas which may ultimately receive sewer is 160' which allows for future resubdivision of lots with minimum 80' frontage. The developer should allow for this by placement of housepads on one side of the lots rather than in the center as shown. The Anoka County Soil Survey indicates that soils within the plat are complex with more than 10 soil series identified on the plat. Significant areas of the plat are comprised of Class II, III and V soils unsuited for standard on-site systems. Nymore B and C sands are predominant Class I soils in a portion of the southern area of the plat. Soil borings should be undertaken to determine that adequate Class I soils exist on each lot particularly in Blocks 1, 2 and 3. The plat will be re-reviewed by the Parks Commission at their December 14 meeting for parks dedication. Staff recommendation will be to require land to accommodate continuation of the trail along the County Ditch No. 3 drainageway and a north-south trail located generally as shown as Outlot D. Approximately 21.7 acres representing 18.9% of the plat is indicated as Outlots inclusive of Outlots A and B. This is less than the minimum 20% required.. Land to be dedicated as park should be indicated as such rather than as "Outlot". The city should consider the criteria and objectives listed in Ordinance 170.016K in processing the rezoning to a P.U.D.
