Shade Tree Creek Preliminary Plat Review-3 March 24, 2006 4of5 Traffic Generation Analysis: A traffic generation analysis has been conducted for the proposed plat. A stop sign is required at the comer of Erkium Street and existing 177th Avenue. At full build-out)the extension of 177th to Highway 47 will be necessary to achieve acceptable levels of service on County Road 27. It is hoped that this connection will be achieved as soon as possible. Water Utilities: The new lots are proposed to be served by individual wells. All water infrastructure must be installed prior to the installation of the streets. The City has reviewed your plan for the maintenance of water utilities. Continuity tests will be required after installation. All valves need to be operated at least twice a year, and the City of Ramsey shall be notified of all maintenance and be provided a letter stating that the watermain has been flushed. Additional comments and requirements will be detailed at the Final Plat stage. Sewer and Septic Utilities: City Staff has reviewed the submitted soils and septic system information, and finds the location and design of the system generally acceptable. Easements: All wetlands appear to be encumbered by drainage and utility easements. An easement is also required around the proposed lift station. Home Owners Association: A Home Owners' Association (HOA) is required for this development, to manage the maintenance of the communal septic system. The City will review all HOA documents prior to release of the final plat for recording. The HOA will be required to establish a financial surety to insure the adequate operation and maintenance of the on site system, and the eventual connection to the municipal system when it becomes available. It is also the developer's responsibility to notify potential purchasers of cluster lots of the possibility of future development on the remainder of the parcel. The notice must include a statement to this effect and include a copy of the Urban Development Plan required as part of City Code. A copy of this notice shall be sent to the City. The developer shall obtain a signed acknowledgement from the purchaser stating that the purchaser has reviewed the future development notice, and understands that the remnant parcel may be developed in the future. Park Dedication: The preliminary plat has been reviewed by the Parks Commission. The commission has recommended that the City require dedication of Lot 1 Block 3 for park (75 ft wide lot in SW comer of Plat). The Plat reflects this request. This is 0.25 acres more than the required land at this time. This 0.25 acre will be credited against future park dedication requirements. Trail Fee: Trail Fees must be paid for new lots created prior to release of the final plat for recording. A 10-foot wide trail easement is required along I77th Avenue to provide for future trail connections. Also, a 6 foot wide access boulevard from 177th Avenue to the park land will facilitate access to the park land. Please show this access on the Final Plat materials. Sewer and Water Trunk Fee: The future payment of sewer and water trunk fees for the proposed lots will be detailed in the Development Agreement for the plat and/or in the HOA documents. -302-
