system has chan~ed and thcre~bre the City Staff Review Letter date June 4, 2004 will need to be updated to correspond thc correci unit receiving a deviation from setback standards. Staff will update the review letter arKt attact~ the tables outlining the approved setbacks as Exhibit A in the Development Agreement, which i:; addressed as part of the final plat review. The revised dew~lopment still m::ets the off-street parking, open space, townhouse size, and architectural standard requirement:; established in City Code. As you may recall, the City engag~zd the services of a consultant to complete a noise study and it was stated that a 45 fbot barrier w~mld be needed in order to meet MPCA's daytime noise decibel standards. Thc City Council discussed appropriate sound mitigation measures and requirements at length during preliminary plat review in April. The City Council granted preliminary plat approval with the installation of an eight foot high 'fence, along with a 10 foot high section installed where the units were lock,ted immediately adjacent to HJ, ghway 10. The revised plat is providing an cigl~t fbot berm and landscaping along the berm adjacent to Highway 10 to address tra'l'tSc noise c~mc,:rns instead t~f'th~; proposed wall. The developer was unable to construct a berm within thc original plat, h~,wever ,vitb the proposed revisions, a berm is now possible. The City Council will need to distress whether the proposed eight foot berm and related landscaping still meets the i~tent o1' Council's sr;un~l mitigation measures approved as part of the original preliminary ptm. It should be uote~!, the condominium unit that was located closet to Highway 10 has been rcmove~l ii'om thc plat. Rccom mend atim ~: 'File revised preliminary plat proi¢oses several desired changes: 1) an eight foot berm with extensive landcaping is being prop,)sed to address traffic noise concerns along Highway 10 2) all ponding ix being directed into an ,:xtsting pond and drainage easement located at the southeast corner o1' thc subject property, wtdch is providing for a better drainage pattern throughout the development 3) a mixture t)f comme~'cial and residential uses will be more closely integrated within thc M/f.-P[ il) zoned propert,/. Although it is unlhrtunate ~hat a sn.all portion of Outlot B has some environmental concerns and additional enviro~,,mental review ,vi/1 be necessary when the outlot is developed, the revised preliminary plat i's providing many positive and desired layout changes and therefore staff is recommending approval of the revi ;ed_ preliminary plat.
