Mr. Gerald Zimmerman June 2, 987 Page Two a. Soils data and soil borings. b. Lot dimensions to the nearest tenth of a foot were not provided. c. The width of existing streets and type of surfacing. j In review of drainage, the grading plan indicates a drainage area on Lot 2, Block 1. Calculations should be provided to assure that the ponding area is adequate. In addition to the drainage easements, easements along lot lines should be pro- vided. In review of access to the plat, the developer is proposing to construct Sapphire St. as a cul-de-sac to the south end of the plat. The length of the cul-de-sac exceeds the maximum (600 feet) as allowed by City Code and will require a variance. However, the proposed cul-de-sac was extended to provide access to the property south of the plat. The city may wish to acquire easements between Lots 2 & 3, Block 2 to provide future access to the east. In review of access to the lots, no access to County Road No. 63 is allowed by the City Code. Therefore, we would recommend that the frontage on Lot 1, Block 2 be increased to provide additional spacing between the driveway and County Road No. 63. In review of the street plans, the depth of Class 5 gravel on the typical street section should be increased to four inches and the proposed cul-de-sac should be paved. Also the final street plans must be signed by a registered engineer as stated in Article 170.039D of the city Code. The proposed plat did not show any park dedication. Therefore, the plat will be subject to cash payments in lieu of park dedication. We would recommend approval of the preliminary plat contingent on correcting or obtaining variances on the items stated in this letter.
