Associate Planner Geisler stated that there are wetlands on the proposed plat that will need to be <br />delineated and encumbered with drainage and utility easements on the preliminary and final <br />plats. She indicated the grading and drainage plan will have to be reviewed and approved by the <br />l Jower P, um River Water Management Organization. She further advised the proposed lots will <br />be scrvcd by a common septic system, constructed to hook up to municipal sewer and water <br />when and il' they become available to the property. She stated the septic system is proposed to be <br />shared with the Rum River Prairie development to the south, and more details on the septic <br />systcm will bc required during preliminary plat review. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler indicated the sketch plan would gain access from an extension of 171st <br />Avenue at Tiger Street. She stated 171st Avenue is proposed to connect to Wolverine Street <br />which would connect to the Rum River Prairie development to the south. She noted an outlot is <br />shown at Wolverine Street for a future connection to the north. She stated a Tree Preservation <br />l'lan will bc required at the time of preliminary plat review and approval. She indicated the <br />proposed plat will be reviewed for park dedication requirements by the Park Commission at a <br />t~ture meeting. She added a trail will be required to be constructed on the east side of Armstrong <br />Iloulcvard per the City's Park and Trail Plan. <br /> <br />Associale Planner Geisler indicated the Planning Commission is being asked to provide the <br />developer with feedback and direction related to the proposed sketch plan. <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Johnson asked if Staff has any feelings on the use of a shared common septic <br />systcm. <br /> <br />Associatc Planner Geisler noted that in some ways that is a better situation because there is less <br />int'rastructurc to be constructed. She stated they have few details about the system now, and will <br />have more at preliminary plat, but at this point Staff does not see any problems. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />John Osborne, 17120 Tiger Street NW, stated the concept is tb preserve what they have and <br />make thc best neighborhood they can. He indicated the development meets all City standards, <br />and the streets will be constructed to City standard as well. : <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Johnson indicated he assumes the parcels will be platted with Mr. Osborne's <br />home as one lot and five new lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Osborne confirmed that was correct. <br /> <br />Steve Slemcr, engineer for both this project and Rum River Prairie, indicated that under Subd. 6 <br /> thc new Cluster Development Ordinance, future streets, easements and open area should be <br />outlots, but will not be one big outlot. He noted there is plenty of room on the outlot areas to <br />accommodate future sewer, water and roads. <br /> <br />Commissioner Levine asked if the intent is to have 171st go through to Armstrong at some point. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 2, 2005 <br /> Page 3 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
