Memo to Planning Commission/P 04-17 July 27,2004 Page 2 • Grading Plan • Utility Plan Overview The applicant is proposing a 29 lot single family development on a 14-acre parcel that will be accessed from County Road 12 on the north and from the Elk Meadows/Kliever Lake Fields subdivisions from the east at 180th Ave. The applicant submitted revised plans to address the comments in the City Engineer's memo dated July 15, 2004. However, the revised preliminary plat does not show the temporary cul- de-sacs and there are still several issues that need to be addressed: • Extending Nixon Circle to the south plat boundary • Drainage issues and calculation errors • Storm water ponds do not meet city requirements • Limited buildable area on Lot 8, Block 2 • Garage elevations lower than the street level Analysis The existing parcel has moderate topography and approximately one third of the site has trees. The proposed plat is comprised of 29 lots that range in size from .27-acres to 1.02- acres. The average lot size is approximately one third of an acre. With the exception of one lot, the lots meet the dimensional requirements for the R1-c zoning district. Staff would recommend granting a lot depth variance for Lot 2,Block 1. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that cash for 29 lots be paid for park dedication. Access and Circulation Access to the site will be from County Road 12 on the north and also from the development to the east. Provisions for future connections to the north, south and west parcels are addressed in the City Engineer's and Sherburne County Public Works memos. Landscaping The submitted landscape plan does not comply with the ordinance requirements. The plan will need to be revised to meet the requirements. Grading. Drainage and Utilities The City Engineer's memo addresses grading, drainage and utilities. Recommendation S\PLANNINGVCase Files\2004\P 04-17 Belmont Estates\P 04-17_PC.doc
