Mr. Pete Raatikka September 6, 1988 Page Three In the area west of Andrie Street the lots and roadway have been reconfigured to accomodate the back nine of the golf course, the club house, driving range, parking area and other attendant buildings. Efforts have been made to afford adequate parking and to segregate the buildings and parking from the residential development. Access to the parking lot would be off of Andrie Street. In our previous discussions you have indicated that perhaps one access off of 153rd Avenue might be appropriate and this could certainly be accomodated. The golf course would be generally constructed to take into consideration the UPA power lines and to buffer the railroad tracks from the residential development. Additional access to Jarvls Street is still furnished as in the previous plan. North Fork would ask the City to consider a possible variation in its normal road specification to a "country lane" concept employed by North Oaks and certain other cities. We would propose somewhat narrower curbless streets. This would allow for the retention of a more country atmosphere and cause less interference with the golf course. Attention to drainage would be given and no parking would be allowed on these lanes. Care would also have to be taken to facilitate proper drainage from the new lake through the golf course and residential development to Lake Itasca. North Fork will develope the drainage plan and it and/or the golf course developer will give appropriate easements. North Fork does not yet have a signed contract with a golf course developer but the same Is expected later this fall. The most likely developer has expressed an interest In a private course as opposed to a public course. If contracts are finalized this fall and approvals obtained over the winter, construction could start next spring and the course be ready for play In 1990. The Northfork'PUO phasing plan remains basically the same as proposed in the ElS. It IS antlcpated that the area east of Andrle Street will be platted In two or three phases and then the area west of Andrle Street would be developed. The copy of the proposed revised concept plan enclosed Indlcates a potential 17 lot phase which North Fork Is consldering plattlng yet thls fall. We look forward to discussing these matters with the Planning Commission and yourself on the 8th and If you have any questions or need any addltlonal Information prlor to that meeting please let us know. erely~_ D~-~rf~is F.
