Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: KLIEVER LAKE FIELDS EAST ADDITION <br /> <br />Dear Ms. McPherson: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed plat of Kliever <br />Lake Fields East Addition. The packet we reviewed was prepared by Pioneer <br />Engineering and dated February 25, 2002. The submittal package contained a <br />preliminary plat, preliminary grading plan, preliminary site and utility plan, preliminary <br />detail plan, and preliminary landscape plan. Based on our review and comments <br />received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />The plat contains approximately 23 acres and is proposed to be divided into 116 <br />townhome lots. The plat is just east of Kliever Lake Fields First Addition and abuts <br />County Road 12 on the north and Fillmore Street on the east. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />The only .proposed access to the plat would be Street A as it connects to Johnson <br />Street in Kliever Lake Fields Addition on the west side of Kliever Lake Fields East. <br />In order to develop this many units, the proposed road in a future addition that <br />would be in the southeast quadrant of this plat accessing Fillmore Street, needs to <br />be constructed with this development connecting Street A and Street B to Fillmore <br />Street. The plat should be revised to include this as part of the Kliever Lake Fields <br />East Addition. <br /> <br />° <br /> <br />The proposed street section is 28 feet back to back. The minimum required street <br />section of this type of development is 28 feet face to face. The standard detail on <br />Sheet 4 of 5 needs to be revised to reflect this dimension. <br /> <br />The streets are proposed to be publicly owned and maintained. However, with 116 <br />townhome units, the street frontage is primarily driveway openings. This is <br />especially true of Street B. Therefore, there needs to be an understanding in the <br />association documents that if snow needs to be hauled from the driveway and <br />boulevard areas, it will be done so by the association and not by the City. <br /> <br />Ltr 4-17-02 McPhej:sop doc <br /> 1326 Energy t-'arK'unve · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
