Preliminary ,Plat Review: Ramsey Town Center 2nd Addition January 30, 2004 Page 3 of 6 , As discussed as part of the setback discussion-for the back-to-back units, all driveways ~br tl{e condominiums will meet the 25-foot length requirement. Public/P~rivate Streets. The plat shows a combination of public and private streets. As directed [by Stall' as part of sketch plan review, a public street (Olivne St.) bisects the development and the northern east-west road (146th Ave.) is now public. All' public streets will be ai least 32 feet wide in accordance with City street standards. The city btandard is tbr all private streets to be under 600 ft. The loop street on the east side is over 600'~ feet long. We looked at where 600 feet fell measured from the north entrance, around tge north end and down the east street and also from the south entrance, around the south en~t and up the east street. Station 8+00 of Street Horton-07 is -605 feet from each entrance~ This geometry will be pointed out to the City Council for their review. Staff hasl the following comments on the submitted street plan: · The minimum curb radii for private streets is 25' The radii shown do not meet this minimum standard. · The '~ity standard tbr vertical curves in streets is 20x the algebraic difference or 100 ft. Several of the vertical curves do not meet this standard. · The iangle att intersections of private streets must be 75°. The follo~ving intersections do not meet this requirement: Olivine Street and Horton 2 Olivine Street and Horton 5 Horton 2 and Horton 3 Horton 5 and Horton 7 · The !city is in the process of adopting a sight triangle ordinance controlling setback distances from intersections. Graphical analysis of the plans indicates all of the interlections will meet the new standard. · A tra~il is required along the west side of Ramsey Boulevard. This is not shown on the plami. · The Association covenants must spell out the permanence of the association maintenance' o f' th~ private streets. Private streets will not be eligible for transfer to public maintenance in the tS~ture. · The development is providing 15 parking nodes along the private streets east of Olivne Stre6t. The parking areas will be pull-in parking spaces. As a result of discussions with the C,:ity Council the development is also now proposing to provide five parallel parking space:s along the nod:hern private road. The private road will have cutouts fbr the parking areasl. ()pen Space: You have proposed several areas of open space. The western open space will be behind the ri>w house units and will contain landscaping, an arbor, benches and special pavers. This open :q~ace will also contain two "rain gardens" tiaa[ will treat the stormwater runo~'f prior'
