Review File: Pine Ridge Major Plat Preliminary and Final Plat Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code Review Page 4 of 5 required additional plantings or restitution or eliminate the need for it altogether. Topsoil: Each lot be subject to the City's topsoil requirement, which states that all disturbed areas not otherwise improved with walkways, driveway, home and other impervious surfacing, shall receive four (4) inches of topsoil meeting the City's topsoil specification. A topsoil inspection is required prior to landscaping being installed and copies of the load tickets are required as well. This is reviewed at time of Building Permit Application and request for Certificate of Occupancy for the newly created lots. Note: any wetlands within the limits of construction will need to be delineated and marked w i th s il t fe n c e so that the wetland boundary is evident. No topsoil or other fill is permitted within any wetland. Re -subdivision Plan: A re -subdivision plan is not required since this project is located north of Trott Brook. Development Fees: Park Dedication, Trail Development and Stormwater Management Fees shall be due on the Plat. These fees must be paid prior to the City releasing the Final Plat for recording and the fees collected are those that are in effect at the time of recording. A cash contribution shall be required to satisfy Park Dedication with one of two options for the Trail Development requirements discussed below. The Master Trail Plan indicates that there shall be a trail along Nowthen Blvd. Current trail standards call for a ten (10) foot wide bituminous trail. However, at this time, the trail segment would not connect to the larger, comprehensive trail system. Thus, there are two (2) options to consider. First, constructing the trail segment as part of this Plat, which is the standard practice for development adjacent to an arterial street. Or, secondly, rather than constructing this segment of trail now, paying the trail construction costs (to be developed by your engineer and approved by the City), into an escrow account that the City will use in the future to construct this trail segment. Trail Development Fees associated with the six (6) lots would be credited toward the construction cost escrow. Either option is acceptable. If the developer desires to construct the trail now as part of this project rather than making the cash payment, a revised set of plans must be submitted for review that includes the trail location and construction details. If a cash payment for the cost of trail construction, rather than actual installation of a trail is preferred, than the developer 's engineer shall provide a detailed (itemized) cost estimate for construction of a ten (10) foot wide bituminous trail for review and approval by the City. The developer shall make the cash payment prior to the City releasing the Final Plat for recording. The preferred trail alignment would be along the western edge of Lots 1 & 6. This would be accomplished through a trail easement encumbering the western fifteen (15) feet of these parcels, which should be provided as a separate, recordable document for review and acceptance prior to the release of the Final Plat for recording. Development Agreement: A Development Agreement shall be required outlining Stage I and Stage II Improvements (public improvements such as streets, trails, and utilities), performance sureties, inspection fees, process, and timelines.
