P48 standards established in the Industrial District. The landscaping plan is acceptable provided three additional trees of an approved species are planted along Sunwood Drive. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to approve the site plan for Panther Precision contingent upon compliance with City staff review letter dated February 28, 2003, and approval of a Sunwood Drive lift station. Further discussion: Councilmember Kurak inquired if the ponding issue had been resolved. Principal City Engineer Olson replied that they had come to a conclusion on the issue. He explained that the initial concern by staff was that the storm sewer pipe they were proposing was more capacity than the City could handle, but after further review it was determined a corrugated pipe would be used that would not exceed the City's capacity. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if the dirt stockpile issue had been addressed. Principal City Engineer Olson explained that the City will be moving the dirt and the business owners are willing to work with City on that issue. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Cook, Zimmerman, Elvig, Kurak, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Case #7: Request for Final Plat Approval of Wildlife Sanctuary 3''d Addition; Case of Oal~vood Land Development Community Development Director Frotik stated that Oakwood Land Development has applied for final plat approval for property located west of T.H. #47 and north of Alpine Drive N.W. The property is approximately 23.7 acres in size and proposes to plat 45 new urban lots for development and three existing homesteads for a total of 48 lots. There are 2 outlots proposed in the plat. Outlot A will be held in ownerst~ip by the Developer and deeded to the City upon request if and when it is needed as a public street to facilitate redevelopment of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 to their ultimate urban densities. Outlot B is a remnant of property on the west property line that is intended to be joined with property to the west to create another buildable lot, if and when property to the west redevelops. In accordance with the approved prelim/nary plat, Junkite Street N.W. will be extended north off Alpine Drive N.W. and terminate at the north boundary of the plat in a permanent cul-de-sac because of the presence of wetlands. Street connection will be made with 155th Lane N.W. in Sunflower Ridge to the east; 155th will also be extended to the west boundary of the plat as a temporary cul-de-sac to provide for future access to the west. The plan also provides for the connection of 154th Lane N.W. between this plat and Sunflower Ridge to the east. However, it is possible that the segment of 154th Lane N.W. in this plat may be constructed prior to the segment of 154th Lane in Sunflower Ridge. In that event, the development agreement requires the developer to provide a temporary cul-de-sac bulb at the eastern terminus of 154th Lane N.W. until such time as it is connected with 154th in Sunflower Ridge. All of the lots meet the 10,800 square foot lot size requirement and the 80-foot (90 feet on comer lots) lot width requirement. The wetlands have been appropriately delineated and encumbered with drainage and utility easements on the final plat. The Engineering Staff has reviewed the final plans. These plans are recommended for modifications subject to the points City Council/March 25, 2003 Page 10 of 16
