Sketch Plan Review: Town Center Gardens 3r'i Addition July 30, 2004 Revised: October 29, 2004, Decemb'er 10, 2004 Page 2 per acre. The area shown as Zone B' is 11.39 acres and has a net density of 6.92 units per- acre. The area shown as Zone C (including the area approved as Town Center Gardens) is 31.85 acres, with a net density of 6.8 units per acre. Both Zone B and C fall within the R- 2 Residential District requirements. Streets: The revised sketch plan shows a combination of public and private Streets. The sketch plan proposes to extend 147th Lane west at Rhinestone St NW from the remainder of the Town Center Gardens plat. A temporary cul-de-sac will need to be provided on 147th Lane NW; this street also exceeds the maximum cul-de-sac length as outlined in City Code. A variance will be required to construct this street as shown on the sketch plan. Olivine and Peridot are proposed to be extended north to serve the northeast corner of the plat. The revised sketch plan shows 148th Avenue being extended to the western b0undary 6f the plat. This is in compliance with City Code and the recommendation of the Planning Commission at their August 4, 2004 meeting. It should also be noted that private streets within the plat must be designated as £n:e lanes. Additional 'comments regarding the use of private streets will be provided at the preliminary plat stage. The northeast parcel currently excluded from the plat will not receive access to Ramsey Blvd. from Anoka County. Access may need to be provided through this development. Also, the sketch plan is showing '~ two driveways onto 149th Ave NW; staff will recommend that these units gain access through the interior of the plat rather than directly onto 149th Ave NW. The sketch plan has been forwarded to Anoka County for comment. Grading and Drainage: A drai.nage and grading plan must be submitted at the preliminary plat stage. A permit will need to be obtained from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization and the MPCA for this development and wetlands must be delineated. The drainage plan will need to detail potential impacts on water levels in the existing wetland. Adjacent' residents have already called the City with concerns about this project. Traffic Generation Analysis: A traffic analysis was done with the 1st addition of Town Center Gardens, which assumed townhome development in the area currently being platted in the 3rd Addition. Staff will verify that the assumptions used in the original traffic analysis still hold true. 7. Utilities and Water Usaae: The development will need to be served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. .. Park Dedication: The proposed plat will be forwarded to the Park Commission for a recommendation on park dedication. The City has the option for cash, land, or a combination of the two. It should be noted that the Park Dedication tee in effect at the time of: final plat approval is what will be charged.
