<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />Memo to Mayor and City CouncillP 99,4 <br />February 16, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Council granted final plat approval for 51 single family lots, Lafayette Woods <br />Second Addition. <br /> <br />The development was approved with sidewalks being constructed along the <br />primary route through the development connecting County Road No. 1 and <br />Proctor. <br /> <br />Lafayette Woods Third Addition includes the construction of three <br />cul-de-sacs, 195th Circle NW, 196th Circle NW and 196th Court NW. <br /> <br />The final plat conforms with the preliminary plat that was approved by the <br />City Council on June 19, 1995. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Plan <br /> <br />The areas proposed for Lafayette Woods Third Addition contain no trees. The <br />land was cleared and rough graded in previous development phases. <br /> <br />Fence Adiacent to Rideewood <br /> <br />During the preliminary plat review of Lafayette Woods there was concern <br />from the Ridgewood subdivision to the north that there may need to be some <br />type of fence or barricade constructed along the north borders of this plat to <br />stop trespassing. As a part of the final plat approval in the first phase, the <br />Council attached the following condition: <br /> <br />A review of the possible need for a security fence between the proposed <br />development and Ridgewood subdivision be made by the City Council <br />prior to the final plat approval of that phase closest to Ridgewood <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />As part of the first phase of Lafayette Woods, the developer donated 30 acres <br />to the City which includes an approximately 100 ft strip of land between the <br />two developments to act as a buffer. The developer has expressed a concern <br />regarding the fence such that the construction of the fence would require the <br />clearing of trees with in the buffer strip. <br /> <br />The developer and the former Mayor met with the homeowners association of <br />Ridgewood and has proposed to plant roughly 40-60 conifers to provide a <br />greater screen. The conifer trees will be planted on lots 10 & 11, Block 1, and <br />lots 1 & 2, Block 2 in locations where oak trees were removed. City staff <br />recommends that the conifers be a minimum size of 6 feet. <br /> <br />\ \elkriver\sys \shrdoc \planning\stevewen \ccmmo \p99,4cc.doc <br />
