Review File: BROOKFIELD 5TH ADDITION Preliminary Plat & Final Plat Request January 23, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Grading and Drainage: The revised Preliminary Plat, dated January 14, 2015, does include existing and proposed contours. The grading and drainage information is under review and is still subject to approval by City Staff. If additional grading/drainage information is needed, it will need to be provided and approved by the City prior to issuance of a Building Permit. Landscaping. Two (2) front yard trees per dwelling unit are required at the time of construction of a dwelling unit. Additionally, four (4) inches of topsoil, consistent with standards outlined in City Code, shall be applied to all disturbed areas not improved with structures, walkways, driveways, etc. Density Transitioning. The revised Preliminary Plat, dated January 14, 2015, includes ten (10) conifers shown in a staggered row along the south property line. The quantity of plantings is consistent with plantings provided on the lot directly west of the Property (closer to the home on the Adjacent Parcel) and thus, this seems reasonable. The plantings are also shown within a proposed Landscape Easement to protect against removal in the future. A detailed Landscape Plan (including species, root type, size and planting detail) and Landscape Easement description, describing the restrictions and/or conditions within the easement, must be provided for review and approval by the City. Upon approval by the City, the Landscape Easement will need to be recorded against the Property (after recording of the Plat). Easements: The Final Plat includes the drainage and utility easements that were dedicated as part of BROOKFIELD 1ST ADDITION as well as the standard ten (10) foot drainage and utility easement along the front property line and a forty-five (45) foot wide easement in rear encumbering the existing berm. The existing drainage and utility easements on Outlot F need to be vacated, which will be processed concurrently with the actions on the Preliminary and Final Plats. The Final Plat shall be updated to remove all drainage and utility easements affiliated with BROOKFIELD FIRST ADDITION and only reflect the new drainage and utility easements being dedicated as part of this Plat. Utilities: Municipal Water and Sanitary Sewer have been extended to the Property. The Applicant will be responsible for installation and/or extension of said utilities to service the proposed home and shall also be responsible for the applicable connection fees. Other Development Fees. The Applicant will also be responsible for Park Dedication, Trail Development, and Stormwater Management Fees. A full analysis of applicable development fees is attached. Miscellaneous. Should this plat be approved, it would not preclude the future extension of Feldspar St. Thus, the cul de sac should be signed as a potential future through street. Also, since the cul de sac was initially intended to be temporary, the `wing' was only constructed with a single lift of asphalt. To ensure the condition of the cul-de-sac post -construction is the same as the pre -construction condition, a surety, in the form of a Letter of Credit or Cash shall be provided to the City. The Development Agreement has language to address both of these items.
