Memotothe Mayorand Ci~ Council/P00-6 June 14, 2000 Page 3 The roads will be paved rural sections that would be paved immediately including Cleveland Street. Adequate right of way, which meets the City's requirements, is being dedicated as part of the plat. Since publication of the public hearing notice, staff has received a number of calls regarding the paving of Jarvis Street, which is not paved in this area. Several years ago, the City was interested in paving Jarvis Street, however, Burns Township was not interested in participating in the project. Typically, on road projects that are on City boundaries, costs are shared equally by properties in both jurisdictions. A funding mechanism for payment of this project will need to be determined. Trails Pedestrian trails are being proposed to provide access and connection to the gazebo on the separate 40-acre parcel. The trails are connected to 226~ Avenue at three points: two on the south side and one from the extension piece to the north. One of the southerly connections is located in a 50-foot trail corridor between Lot 5, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2. As the area along the south side of the plat is seasonally wet, this trail is proposed to be a mown trail, with no pavement or chips. The path near the north property line is located on higher ground and could be either a limestone or woodchip trail. The applicant has indicated that these trails will be open to the general public. Grading and Drainage The applicant has submitted a revised grading and drainage plan based on previous comments from staff. Issues relating to these subjects are outlined in the attached Engineer's memo. The applicant has process the proper application for wetland impacts. Wetland impacts were reduced to the greatest extent possible. The Council will have seen and approved the staff recommendation regarding wetlands prior to approval of the final plat. Utilities The subdivision will be served by a community septic system and individual wells. Each home will have its own septic tank. The amount of septic flow will not trigger a MPCA permit; staff will review and approve the septic design and issue a permit. The primary and secondary septic sites will need to be fenced to protect them during construction. Landscaping A landscape plan was not submitted with this packet. The subdivision ordinance requires one yard tree and one street tree for each lot. The applicant has also discussed planting trees in a pattern similar to a windbreak along the property lines of the first lots off of Jarvis Street to provide additional screening. A landscape plan will need to be submitted for staff approval prior to final plat approval.
