Memo to the Mayor and City Council/P 97-11 <br />July 21, 1997 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> Driveway locations should take advantage of maximizing sight <br /> distances. Relocating the driveway opposite 196th will improve this <br /> issue. <br /> <br />Lastly, it is difficult to review this plat and pending development <br />without considering access to the property east of Evans. Once <br />again, an additional driveway opening onto Evans between 196th <br />and 197th will raise some concern. To preserve the integrity of <br />Evans as a frontage road and minimize turning movements, there <br />should be no additional driveways between 197th and 196th. This <br />issue can be discussed in full when the property is platted for <br />development. <br /> <br />Additional Right-of-Way <br /> <br />Recently staff has noticed some areas of concern when the ultimate right-of- <br />way is not dedicated. Therefore, in order to achieve enough room for <br />pedestrian system, utilities, snow storage, etc., a 15 foot boulevard is <br />required. It appears an additional 5 feet will be necessary along Evans <br />Street to accomplish the 15 foot boulevard. <br /> <br />Fire Protection <br /> <br />The Fire Chief has indicated a need to loop the watermain through this plat <br />for fire protection purposes. Currently, the watermain extends north on <br />Evans Street and stops approximately at the proposed entrance into the <br />Amoco site. Based on the Fire Chiefs recommendation, the watermain loop <br />would extend west from Evans along the new property line to Highway 169 <br />and then south to Evans to complete the necessary loop. In addition, two on- <br />site hydrants will be required to provide fire protection to both the proposed <br />Amoco building and future commercial building on the outlot to the south. <br />The necessary easements to install the watermain and hydrants will need to <br />be included on the plat. <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed the preliminary plat and <br />has recommended a payment of cash to meet the park dedication <br />requirements. The park dedication will apply to the proposed Lot I at this <br />time, with future dedications coming from the outlot when it is replatted. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\p97-11.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
