Stormwater Pond <br /> Based on projects with similar stormwater pond size and depth, Staff anticipates some concerns <br /> regarding safety to be raised by Planning Commission. Plans should be updated to better reflect <br /> the fact that these are intended to be lined ponds that hold water as an amenity. We also <br /> encourage you to be prepared to discuss stormwater safety, especially along public trails and <br /> compliance with stormwater regulations. Since this is not Preliminary Plat review, Staff has not <br /> finalized our recommendations on this matter. <br /> Development Fees <br /> Standard Development Fees are due on the plat. You have indicated a desire to obtain certain <br /> Park Dedication and Trail Development Fee Credit for the open space and trail areas. Staff's <br /> recommendation is that trail easement and trail construction for the Lake Itasca Greenway <br /> internal to the site is eligible for Park Dedication Credit. Staff does not recommend credit for the <br /> private (not City owned) open space areas (Outlot C and Outlot D). However,the City Council <br /> has indicated a desire to discuss this opportunity further. <br /> This topic will be discussed further in May during Preliminary Plat Review. <br /> Environmental Review <br /> An Environmental Assessment Worksheet(EAW) is mandatory by the State of Minnesota for <br /> this project. A draft has been completed and is available for review. The City Council will <br /> consider authorizing distribution for official comment period later in April or early May. Staff <br /> has completed an initial review, and has determined this EAW to be incomplete. Minor updates <br /> and revisions are required before distribution. The draft EAW is included in the Planning <br /> Commission packet. <br /> Policy Document <br /> During concept plan phase (unofficial review), the City prepared a Policy Document to guide <br /> discussions between Staff and Developer. This document is included as reference. <br /> It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community,and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government <br /> services. <br /> Riverstone Addition Planning Division Review March 31,2017(Sketch Plan) <br /> Page 7 of 7 <br />
