raised in the Staff Review Letter dated March 21, 2003. As reported at the time of preliminary <br />plat approval, Park Dedication will be satisfied with a cash payment. The developer will be <br />required to construct an 8-foot wide bituminous trail between Lots 5 and 6 of Block 3. The <br />construction cost of this trail segment will be credit eligible against trail fees due on the plat. <br />Sidewalks will be constructed along all non cul-de-sac streets. In addition, the Developer has <br />agreed to construct a sidewalk along the Junkite Street N.W. cul-de-sac to provide a connection <br />with the trail segment installed between Lots 5 and 6. The Developer is also responsible for <br />continuing the trail parallel to Alpine Drive. Per previous discussions with the Parks and Utility <br />Supervisor, a portion of the area north of the plat, currently platted as Outlot C, Wildlife <br />Sanctuary 2nd Addition, was to be included in the plat as an outlot and deeded to the City of <br />Ramsey to protect the wetlands. That requirement has not been met and the final plat should be <br />modified accordingly. At the time of preliminary plat approval, the City Council approved <br />preservation of a tree stand on the west property line to fulfill density transition requirements for <br />the larger, rural lots to the west. The preliminary tree plan dated November 5, 2002, was <br />determined to be acceptable provided it was modified to identify the location of tree save fences. <br />The modified tree plan has not been submitted. At the time of preliminary plat approval, <br />neighboring property owners to the west (Weichelt and Mott) expressed concern that the new <br />development would result in trespassing into their pasture land. Oakwood, Weichelt and Molt <br />have signed a letter of understanding establishing that Oakwood would construct fencing on their <br />east property lines to discourage trespassing onto their respective pastures. That letter of <br />understanding will be referenced and attached to the development agreement. There is an <br />existing homestead on Lot 13, Block 4 that will be incorporated into the plat as an urbm~ lot. The <br />development agreement requires that the exterior finish on the home and the driveway be <br />upgraded to be compatible with the newly developing neighborhood. City Staff recommended <br />final plat approval contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated March <br />2 l, 2003. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that she wants to make sure that there will be signs installed at the <br />end of the temporary cul-de-sacs. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied that the installation of the signs is a requirement in the <br />development agreement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to how long it would be before the roads would be extended. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson explained that 154~h Lane would probably be extended this <br />summer, but he was not sure about 155th Lane. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if the adjoining neighbors were aware of what was going on. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that the adjoining property owners were <br />involved during preliminary plat process. <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to adopt Resolution #03- <br />03-077 to approve the final plat of Wildlife Sanctuary 3rd Addition contingent upon compliance <br /> <br />City Council/March 25, 2003 <br /> Page 11 of 16 <br /> <br />P49 <br /> <br /> <br />
