Preliminar? Plat and Site Plan Review: Town Center Gardens 3ra Addition February 25, 2005 Revised: March 31, 2005, April 8, 2005 Page 2 of 8 Platting: The preliminary plat is proposing a combination of townhouse and single-family units.' It appears that Block 1 will be developed as condominiums, to be platted as'a Common Interest Community (CIC). The CIC units platted at Anoka County must conform to site plan and preliminary plat approved by the City Council. The City is also requesting a copy of the CIC document that will be recorded in conjunction with the plat at the office of Anoka County. Streets: The preliminary plat shows a combination of public and private streets. The plat 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, unless a connection is established concurrently with Ramsey Town Center 8th Addition to the west. Olivine and Peridot Streets are proposed to be extended north to serve the northeast comer of the plat; both are proposed to connect to 149t~ Avenue NW. 148th Avenue is being constructed to the western property line in the northern part of the plat; this complies with City Code requirements. A cul- de-sac will be required at the end of 148th Avenue. Building on Lot 10, Block 3 and Lot 26, Block 4 may not be permitted until the street is extended to make room. for the'temporary cuI-de- sac. The plat also includes two public streets in the western portion of the plat (Streets A and B). The northerly termination of Street B will require installation of a temporary cul-de-sac. Type barricades must be installed along with the temporary, cul-de-sacs. Drainage must be directed into the project to prevent erosion of the adjacent properties. All street names should be changed on the preliminary plat documents to match the Anoka County Street Grid. Engineering staff will be providing additional comments regarding, the streets at the Council meeting. The approved Master Plan for the Town Center shows Town Center Drive being extended between the Subject Property and the Town Center property to the west. City plans show Town Center Drive to connect to Variolite Street at Alpine Drive, generally through the Subject Property, south of Alpine Drive. This street alignment will need to be coordinated between this development and Ramsey Town Center 8th Addition to the west. The ultimate street alignment may af£ect the number of units allowed in this area. You are showing an outlot in the portion of the plat that is north of 147th Lane NW. Private Streets: Private streets are proposed to serve townhomes in the northwestern and eastern por'rion of the plat, though most of the streets proposed for the 3rd Addition are public streets. The table below indicates City Code requirements for private street lengths: Maximum private street length without a turnaround provided Maximum private street length with a turning )rovision provided Maximum private street length with a cul-de- sac provided 200 feet 300 feet · 600 feet, when exceeding the 300 foot length requirement, the private street width must be 32 feet.
