Review File: Covenant Meadows Revised Preliminary Plat Sheet Set Submission Review April 28,2017 Page 3 of 3 DNR Review.Metro Area Hydrologist Kate Drewry review the proposed development and indicated that the plan appeared to meet the open space requirement with 50%of the area along the Creek and the steep slopes proposed for dedication to the City and the smaller lots located in the tiers furthest from the Creek. They indicated that the plan should delineate the boundaries of the shoreland district tiers as well as the structure setback and bluff impact zones. Streets and Access.As requested,the revised sheet set shows the platted right-of-way extending to the western boundary of the project boundary. The Applicant is showing a complete cul-de-sac at the termination of 172nd Lane NW, however, the platted right-of-way for 172nd Lane NW does extend to the edge of the plat which would allow for 172nd Lane NW to be extended in the future eventually eliminating its status as a cul-de-sac. Exceeding the allowed length of a cul-de-sac's is being requested as a deviation to the City's Code in connection with the Applicants Planned Unit Development (PUD) application. Trails. The Applicant is showing a trail between lots 5 and 6 of Block 1. The trail will need to be shown in a trail easement as outlined in the requested changes at the beginning of this memo.The trail will be an eight(8) foot wide bituminous trail and will be constructed as a Stage I Improvement to provide immediate access to the land being deeded to the City. That cost can be credited toward the Trail Development Fees that would be due on the plat. It will be required that that proposed trail connection to the road be ADA compliant.

Note that a separate Review Memo from the Engineering Department will be provided as an addendum to this review.
