The City's transportation plans call for a 120 foot right-of-way for major arterials, which would require the developer to dedicate 60 feet from the center of T.H. #47. The preliminary plat shows 50 f~t is proposed to be dedicamd. In light of the fact that 40 feet of park has been dedicated adjacent to the right-of-way. Staff feels the 50 foot dedication for T.H. #47 will be adequate. In accordance with Staff's recommendation, the plat has been redesigned to provide a street outlet from this subdivision onto T.H.//-47 that will align with the future intersection of Sunfish Lake Drive and T.H. #47. The preliminary plat has been forwarded to Mn/DOT for their review and comments. Park Dedication. The proposed plat was reviewed by the Park and Recn'eation Commission on February 11. It is recommended that park dedication consist of land dedication and development of 8 foot wide hardsurface trails from the southwest corner of the plat travelling north and east through the plat to connect with Juniper Woods. Park dedication credit will be given for all areas dedicated for trail purposes outside of street right-of-way. The balance of any park dedication due would be satisfied with a cash payment which would be proposed to be applied to completing the wail from Amber Ridge north to 153rd Avenue and/or south to River's Bend 3rd Addition. L. llllgLS.gltP, igg. At thc time of sketch plan review, Staff's recommendation was for a 7 foot landscaped berm to buffer the single family homes and trail from Hwy. g47, At this writing, a grading plan and a landscaping plan for Amber Ridge has not been received which would verify the provision for the buffer berm. Drainage and Wetlands: At this point, no grading and drainage plans have been received. Possible outlets for drainage include a storm sewer in 149th Avenue and a wetland with an outlet to the Rum River south of 147th Lane in River's Bend. Outlot A on the southern end of the plat will provide area for a sedimentatior/basin erior to discharge. It is presumed that the natural wetland north of 149th Lane'N.W. will play a role in the storm drainage system in that area of the plat. The developer is expected to submit a drainage plan along with hydraulic calculations at the time of Preliminary Plat. A 100 year flood elevation on existing or created wetland should be established to identify acceptable house pad elevations. The extent of all wetland should be delineated and identified on the grading plan so compliance with the wetland conservation act can be determined. Any area intended for drainage purposes should be reflected as drainage easement rather than outlot on the final plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 2, 1993 to consider the request for preliminary plat review of Amber Ridge and the request for rezoning portions of the subject area from B-2 Business and R-3 Urban Residential to R-1 Urban Residential. A copy of the proposed findings of fact relating to the request for rezoning are enclosed for your information and review. We suggest that you, or your representative, be present at the meeting to answer any questions that may arise.
