Final Plat Review: Wildlife Sanctuary 3"d Addition March 21, 2003 Page 2 of 8 Density: The 200l Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low density single family residential development and low density has been established at 3 units per net acre: The gross density of the project is 2.02 units per acrei ' Factoring out the 1.59 acres of wetland results in a net density of 2.16 units per acre. The Density Section of Sheet C1 should be corrected based on 48 lots versus 46. Lot Size and Dimensions: All of the lots meet the 10,800 square foot lot size and the 80 foot (90 feet on comer lots) lot width requirement is complied with either at the street frontage or the building setback line. o Existing Building on Lot 13, Block 4: It has been the City's practice to require certain upgrades to existing homesteads that are to be retained within a new housing project to ensure a reasonable level of compatibility with the new homes .to be constructed: This item will be addressed in the Development Agreement. Even though Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 will be included in the plat, the lots will be substantially larger than the other lots in the plat and the homes will remain orientated'towards Alpine Drive. For these reasons, no exterior upgrades to the homes on Lots 1 and 2 of Block 4 will be required. However, the existing home on Lot 13, Block 4 will be interior to the plat and the access will be converted from Alpine Drive N.W. to the new interior street, Junkite Street NiW. For this reason, the City will require that the exterior finish on the dwelling be upgraded to a maintenance free type and the driveway access must be either bituminous or concrete. Access and Streets: In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, Junkite Street N.W. will be extended north off of Alpine Street and terminate in a cul-de,sac at the north end of the property because of the presence of wetlands. This cul-de-sac complies with the 600 foot length restriction. Street extensions to the east will connect with 155th Lane N.W.; 155th will also be extended to the west boundary of the property, terminating in a temporary cUl-de-sac to facilitate future development to the west. The plan also provides for the connection of 154th Lane N.W. between the Plat and Sunflower Ridge. In the event 154th is constructed in this Plat prior to Sunflower Ridge, then 154th will also have to terminate in a temporary cul- de-sac at the east plat boundary until, connection with Sunflower Ridge is made: The Development Agreement will collect funds to sign temporary cul-de-sac~ as a future through streets, and provide for removal of the temporary cul-de-sacs, restoring adjacent properties, and extending the sidewalk to the western bOundary of the plat, when develOpment occurs to the west. Grading and Drainage: A Final Grading Plan dated November 5, 2002, revised March-18, 2003, has been received at the City. A permit from the Lower Rum River Watershed' Management Organization and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will be required. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits required from other regulatory -113-
