to Roanoke gtreet ig undetermined at thig time and will be addregged during the final plat of the applicable phase. City Engineer Olson stated that there is a sewer and water development fee of $284,798.00 (157 units x $1,814/unit) due on the ultimate plat as reflected in the approved preliminary plat. The City has requested the on site sewer be lowered to accommodate expansion in the future. The cost of this work is estimated at $68,000. The Developer has proposed that the remaining $216,798 be used for off-site sewer and water improvements required to provide sewer and water to the site. These improvements are estimated at Two Hundred and Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($255,000.00). Since the costs for the improvements exceed the Sewer and Water Trunk Fee, there shall be no trunk fees collected as part of this Development. There is a stormwater management fee of Twenty One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars and no cents ($21,750.00) (58 units x $375/unit) due on the first phase of this development. Preliminary Plat approval was contingent upon addressing the drainage outlet to the north. The Developer shall install an outlet from Woodland Green Park to the unnamed park at the north end of the Plat, adjacent to 156"' Lane NW. The estimated cost of this improvement is Eighty One Thousand Dollars and no cents ($81,000.00). The Developer shall be responsible for this cost and any other requirement of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization.-As mentioned at the time of preliminary plat approval, the City has requested that a storm sewer overflow be included as part of this Plat to protect the homes south of Alpine Drive NW. The cost to construct this outlet within the boundaries of the Plat is estimated at Twenty Six Thousand Dollars and no cents ($26,000.00), plus Thirty Nine Thousand Dollars and no cents ($39,000.00) outside the boundaries of the Plat. This improvement does not benefit the Plat. The Developer shall install, at its cost, the portion of the improvement within the Plat. The City desires the Developer to construct the portion outside the Plat, on the north side of Alpine Drive NW (153ra Avenue NW) concurrent with other improvements in the area. The City shall reimburse the Developer $17,250.00 ($39,000 - $21,750) for this improvement. The Developer has agreed to pay for the improvement costs that exceed the sewer and water trunk charges as outlined in the Development Agreement. Mr. Olson noted that staff was also to consider a possibility of an emergency gate at 155~ Avenue NW. Staff was recommending against the emergency access barricade for a couple of reasons. One reason is that City Code does not permit any cul-de-sac from being longer than 600 feet and staff also feels that the developer has done a good job on limiting the amount of trips that will travel along 155th Avenue. The other concern with emergency access gates is the maintenance issues. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to adopt Resolution #02-02-054 granting final plat approval to Highlands at River Park contingent upon compliance with the City staff review letter dated February 21, 2002, Hakanson Anderson Review letter dated February 19, 2002, and the Developer entering into a development agreement with the City. Further discussion: Gary Martz, 5200 155'~' Lane NW, stated that they will be making trails for kids in the new development to access the park, but there are approximately 30 existing homes along 155t~' Lane that will have a potential increase of approximately 50 additional cars traveling City Council/February 26, 2002 Page 7 of 35
