Sketch Plan Review: Deal Commercial Center October 2, 1997 Page 2 of3 There IS a pre-existing private easement running north and south through the center of this plat that provides highway access to the Tiller Corporation to the north. There is no public interest in retaining this easement and it remains an issue between property owners. 4. Drainage and Utility Easements. A triangular sedimentation pond having an area of . approximately 7,000 square feet currently exists in the northwest comer of the underlying Lot 1 (pro Sporting Goods site). It is Staff's understanding that the current pond needs to be filled to accommodate a future expansion of the Pro Sporting Goods facility. An analysis should be performed and an area should be dedicated for the replacement and expansion of the current sedimentation pond. The drainage plans will be reviewed on an individual basis as each of the 2 vacant lots are developed. In accordance with City Code, the standard drainage and utility easements are provided around the perimeter of each lot. If there are plans to expand the Pro Sporting Goods facility to the west, the 10 foot drainage and utility easement proposed to be dedicated on the west side of the Section line within the. confines of Lot 1 is not necessary and would be a hindrance to future building expansion. In addition, the developer should apply for an easement vacation of the existing drainage and utility easement on the east side of the section line to facilitate future building expansion. As noted at the time Deal Industrial Park was platted, there is the potential for Mn/DOT to acquire access rights on T.R. #10 in the future. In the event this becomes a reality, the City should be planning for alternate access and therefore required a 40 foot wide easement along the north plat boundary of Deal Industrial Park to facilitate a future service road. That 40 foot wide easement should be carried through onto this plat. 5. Storm Water Management Fee. The City has established a stonnwater management fund at a rate of $3,500 per acre for commercial plats. In this case, the underlying Lot 1 of Deal Industrial Park should "be exempt from the tota11and calculation in computing the amount of stormwater management fees due on this plat. 6. Park Dedication. The plat will be reviewed by the Park Commission on October 9, 1997 for park dedication requirements. It is anticipated that park dedication will consist of a cash payment for the 2 new lots created. ~
