The proposed lots will be served by a common septic system, constructed to connect to municipal sewer and water when they become available to the property. The septic system is proposed to be shared with the Kelly Acres development to the north and is located within Outl0t A. General details concerning soil type, and the design and location of the community septic have been submitted. The community septic system will require an MPCA permit. Preliminary plat approval was contingent upon receiving this permit. The proposed site of all drainfields must be at least 300 feet from the nearest well. This limits the location of the drainfield site to the southwest comer of the outiot, and limits the location for a secondary site. The plat has been requested to be revised to show an alternative location for a secondary site. Sidewalks are proposed on the west side of Wolverine Street and Tiger Street and north side of 170th and 171~ Avenues. A 'mail is proposed on the east side of Armstrong Boulevard, as directed by the Master Parks and Trails plan. A traffic generation study was conducted for the proposed Prairie Meadows/Kelly Acres subdivisions. It was determined that the proposed lots will not have a significant impact on any intersections, and no upgrades are required, except to install stop signs on 170th and 171st Avenue at Tiger Street. The applicant is required by City Code to submit a management agreement with an entity responsible for maintaining and monitoring the community septic system. Also, the City requires a copy of the Homeowners' Association (HOA) Articles of Incorporation and the bylaws before releasing the plat for recording. These documents must outline the financial responsibility of the HOA to provide on-going maintenance and monitoring of the community septic system and watermain pipes, and a payment into a Sewer and Water Trunk Fund. The applicants will also be asked to enter into an Utility Operating Agreement with the City, the HOA, and the management entity. This agreement will outline the responsibilities of each entity for the construction, maintenance, and replacement of the septic system. A tree preservation, grading, and drainage plans have been submitted, and are generally acceptable to the City, though some modifications are required as referenced in the City Staff Review Letter dated June 23, 2006. The City Council approved the preliminary plat for this project on April 11, 2006 with the following contingencies: I. Compliance ~ith City Staff review letter dated February 28, 2006, revised April 5, 2006. 2. The developer obtaining a permit for community septic system construction from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. 3. The developer engaging the services of a professional management firm to manage the community septic system. 4. The City approving the Articles of Incorporation and Declaration of Covenants for the Home Owner's Association at Final Plat. -256-
