CASE # 2 REQUEST 'FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF WOOD CASE OF BLH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik POND HILLS; Background: BLH Development Company is requesting preliminary plat approval of Wood Pond Hills. Wood Pond Hills consists of approximately 72 acres proposed to be subdivided into 135 lots. The plat is proposed to be developed and four phases and it will be served by municipal sewer and water. The 12 northernmost lots are not within the MUSA; however, this area is expected to be included in the MUSA by the time the lots are developed. You might recall, that when the Commission first reviewed this plat in March of 1990, it was proposed to beldeveloped as a Planned Unit Development. That is no longer the case. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) Site location map Preliminary plat Draft review letter from Tom Hovey, DNR !City Staff review letter dated October 30, 1991 As you will note in the Cit3, Staff review lener of the preliminary plat, there are severa~ issues to be resolved. Staff is seeking the Commission's input on the following issues: 1) Street proposed in Block 8 - A portion of the street proposed in Block 8 is to be property that is not contained within the plat. The cleanest wax, to handle this would be to include in the plat, that adjacent parcel proposing to ~ve the ad~tional street right-of-way required. 2) Cul-de,sac between Block 10 and 11. The street between Block 10 and 11 would end in a temporary cul-de-sac and provide for future of extension of the street into the adjacent parcel.: The adjacent parcel only has a peninsula of developable land that would most likely have to be developed w/th a cul-de-sac extension of the street between Block 10 and 11. This c~eates a situation of ultimately having a cut-de-sac distance of 900 to 1,000 feet. Should the developer consider alternative street ali~mmaents in this area to reduce the ultimate length of the cul-de-sac. Sunfish Lake Drive. This street is proposed to be developed as an MSA route to provide an additional link of east/west thoroughfare in our community. The street is proposed to cross a wetland area in the northwest comer of the pla~. The point of traverse is faith, wide and the cost of construction in this area could be rmrfirnized somewhat if the road were aligned shghtly more to the northwest at a narrow point in the wetland. With respect tO park dedication, the plat was reviewed bv the Park and Recreation Commission at their regular meeting in October. The consensus was that park dedication will consist of land for continuation of the trail corridor and the balance will be satisfied With cash. However, the exact alignment of the trail corridor through the plat has not been resolved and will be an item of discussion at the November meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission.
