Preliminary Plat Review: Summerset Meadows ~" September 30, 2005 ?age ~ q/'8 The Ramsey Town Center project is providing a pipe outlet to the Mississippi River for stormwater. RunoZ ti'om this site was included in the sizing of the outlet pipe. Runoff /bona this site must be limited to the rates used in sizing the outlet pipe. Utilities: All lots are proposed to be served by municipal sewer and water. All lots are proposed to be served by municipal sewer and water. The plans show extension of sewer and water to the plat limits in contbrmance with city code. The storm sewer in Block 14 must be revised to provide treatment of water from the street prior to discharge to the wetland. The plan currently shows discharge of street drainage directly to the wetland. Streets and Access: The project is' proposing a Combination of public and private streets. Connection will be made on the east at the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Atxnstrong Boulevard. Bunker Lake Boulevard will extend across the site and connect with Puma Street on the west side of the site. Bunker Lake Boulevard will be a city street at the time of construction and may be turned over to the county in the future. Puma street must be paved between Bunker Lake Boulevard and Alpine Drive. The Bunker Lake ~oulevard right-of-way is shown as I00 ft wide, it must be incre, ased to 120 feet wide to comply with current design standards for county roads. A temporary cul-de-sac is shown on 151st Lane between Blocks 4 and 6. Building will not be permitted on Lot 1, Block 4, Lot 1, Block 6 and Lot 2, Block 6 until 151st Lane is extended to the east. SevcraI of the intersections of private drives with the public street in Block 7 must be moved to align the entrances from both sides of the streets or to provide 150 feet between centerlines. Most of the 'private drives are over 200 feet and will require turn around ~'eatures for emergency vehicles. Several are over the 600 fi limit for cul-de-sacs, connections must be provided to reduce the maximum length. Access must be provided to the area northeast of Block 14. This area is landlocked under the current plan. The angle between legs of street intersections must be in the range of 75 to 90 degrees. Veri¢ that all intersections meet this requirement. Wethmds: The submitted plans show 13.96 acres as delineated wetlands with 0.69 acres of wetland filling and 0.79 acres of wetland mitigation. The mitigation area should be increased to 2 times the filled area. The filling and mitigation plans must be approved by the LRRWMO. The phasing plans show the wetland fill area as Phase II work while the miti~4ation area is adjacent to the Phase 1 area. The filling and mitigation should be pert'onned early in the project as it takes several years of vegetation gowth before the 161
