II I I I I I I I I I I I I I Page 2 June 5, 1985 Access to the plat is proposed to be provided through the City of Elk River by Jarvis Street. We will be meeting with the Elk River City Planner to discuss the impact of this PUD on Elk River. Since construction of White Tail Trail results in a cul- de-sac over 4,600 feet in length, we would recommend that the developer be reguired to construct an alternate access road to the proposed lots within three years. The closest Ramsey City street is 164th Avenue located in Woodlawn Estates. In review of the street plans, we would recommend that the right- of-way radii on the cul-de-sacs be increased to 65 feet and the paved surfaces have radii of 50 feet. We would also recommend that the percent of grade on White Tail Trail at its connection with Jarvis Street be decreased, radii at intersections be shown at 30 feet, culvert sizes and lengths be shown and paved temporary turnarounds be provided on White Tail Lane and White Tail Trail. Specifications for the proposed construction must also be provided. In review of the proposed plat, we would recommend that 10 foot drainage and utility easements be provided on all lot lines, and easements over all ponding areas and drainage ditches be pro- vided. Also, as previously mentioned, the radii on the cul-de- sacs should be changed to 65 feet. We would recommend approval of the PUD contingent on the following items: The developer comply with all the requirements listed in this letter and the City Code or obtain variances for noncompliance. 5 The City Council review and agree with the findings required in City Code 170.014G. The developer enter into a developer's agreement with the City of Ramsey to construct the required improvements including an alternate access to the plat. The developer post the required bond or escrow to guarantee the completion of the improvements. We have estimated the cost of the improvements including the alternate access to be $317,800 based on the preliminary street and drainage plans completed by Orr-Schelen-Mayeron and Associates, Inc. The bond or escrow amount is 150 percent of the estimated cost or $476,700. The bond amount of $476,700 includes $122,850 for the future access road.
