Preliminary Plat Review: Town Center Gardens May 30, 2003 Page 2 of 4 determine that the area will be adequately served by public infrastructure. Please provide staff a sketch of what is anticipated to be developed in the outlots. Streets: The development is served by a combination of public and private streets and driveway collectors Streets A, B, and C are proposed to be public streets. The private streets serve the majority of the townhome units. The plat is showing on access onto County Road 56. This access will need to receive an access permit from Anoka County. It is expected ,that additional comments regarding the street layout may be generated by the revisions to the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Grading, Drainage, and Utility Plans: You have submitted drainage, utility, and grading plans that were reviewed by the City's Engineering Department. Several items were noted that needed to be corrected and changed. You are in the process of making revisions to these plans in accordance with the City comments. Staff expects to receive the corrections early next week and will provide the Planning Commission a verbal report on the plans during the June 5, 2003 meeting. Wetlands: There is a DNR protected wetland on the property. Review of a wetland delineation report will need to be conducted by the Anoka Soil Conservation District The development plan also appears to show replacement of some of this wetland. The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization will review the filling of the wetland and:will make a determination on whether it will be allowed. It is expected that additional comments regarding wetlands may be generated by the revisions to the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Traffic Generation Analysis: A: traffic generation analysis is currently being conducted for the proposed development by SRF ~onsultants. The traffic generation analysis will look at your development and the impact it will have on the surrounding road network. The implementation of any findings generated by the analysis will be the responsibility of you, the developer. The costs of the traffic generation analysis will be charged to your escrow account. Park Dedication: The development will be reviewed at the June 12, 2003 Park and Recreation Commission meeting.. The Park and Recreation Commission.canlrecommend that a cash fee or land dedication take place to take care of park dedication requirements. The 2003 Park Dedication rate is $1,800 per unit. It should be noted that the rate in effect at the time the subdivision receives final plat approval will be required. Trail Development and Trail Fees: The current trail development fee is $475.00 per unit and is due prior to recording the plat. The rate in effect when the subdivision receives final plat approval will be required..Initial staff review indicates that a trail will be required along the west side of Ramsey Blvd. The Ramsey Park and Trail Map shows the west side of Ramsey Blvd. to have a trail. Past practice has been to not allow for trail credit for trail construction in areas where trails are shown on the City of.. Ramsey Park and Trail Map. The trail should be constructed up to 149*h Ave..If so requested, the Park and Recreation Commission will look at the possibility of ~ving credit for that portion of the trail along Ramsey Blvd. that is not on or adjacent to the property, that is part of the plat.
