18 <br /> <br />located in the R-2 District. R-1 allows for single-family homes up to 3 units per net acre. The <br />two new homes will be located in the R-1 District. <br /> <br />The sketch plan shows a gross density of 4.51 units per acre. Net density (exclusive of wetlands <br />and major road right-of-way) will be calculated at the time of preliminary plat submittal. Since <br />there are several wetlands on the property, the total number of units allowed as part of the <br />development may be affected. <br /> <br />The sketch plan shows a main public road going through the center of the development with <br />termini at Alpine Dr. in the south and Sunfish Lake Blvd. to the west. The sketch plan also <br />shows a public road heading west off of the main public road spine. In the future, this road could <br />be extended to exit onto Sunfish Lake Blvd or terminate in a cul-de-sac. In a previous <br />development proposal for this land (Villas of Meadow Point), the public road was stopped short <br />of the western boundary due to concerns of the existing neighbors adjacent to the development. <br />The submitted sketch plan shows the road being constructed short of the boundary line. A <br />temporary cubde-sac will need to be constructed to assist in snow plowing.' It should also be <br />known that some accommodation will need to be made regarding who will pay for the extension <br />of the public road if and when the property to the west develops. <br /> <br />The sketch plan proposes a number of private roadways. The private loop road on the eastern <br />side of the plat is just under 1,200 feet long. The loop road which connects with the main public <br />street around the wetland in the north central part of the plat is 675 feet tong. The City's private <br />street regulations require that private streets be limited to a distance of 600 feet. The <br />abovementioned streets must be converted to public streets meeting City standards or be limited <br />to 600 feet and meet the private road standards. <br /> <br />There are an additional three major private streets shown on the sketch plan. The private road <br />that ends in a cul-de-sac and is located in the northern tip of the plat is about 500 feet in length. <br />The private road that ends in a cul-de-sac in the southwestern portion of the plat is about 450 feet <br />in length. However, this private road has an additional 220 feet of private drive to serve the two <br />new single-family homes. Finally, there is a private road that is located west of and parallel to <br />the main public road spine that is 460 feet in length. All three of these streets appear to be <br />acceptable, but must be constructed to a width of 32 feet. In addition~ staff would also <br />recommend that the service drive located off of the southern cul-de-sac also be 32 feet wide to <br />accommodate emergency services. All of the remaining-private roads function more as service <br />driveways and appear to be less than 200 feet. If any private street is longer than 200 feet, a <br />turn-around provision will need to be constructed. <br /> <br />A detailed drainage and grading plan will be addressed during the preliminary Plat and site plan <br />process. The project is also subject to the review and permitting process of the Lower Rum <br />PAver Watershed Management Organization (WMO) and M.P.CA. <br /> <br />The City will hire a traffic consultant to review the traffic patterns and traffic impact of the <br />development. The costs of this study will be billed to the Developer. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
