on either side, but due to changes in topography this may be the best alternative. To address concerns with the proposed sidewalk location staff recommends requiring pedestrian ramps on both sides of Johnson Street and Ivanhoe Drive, painted markings on the street to identify the crosswalk, and signage to inform motorists of the pedestrian crossing. Parks No additional park land will be dedicated with this plat, but a cash dedication will be required with the filing of a final plat. Engineering and Utilities Mass grading for the site was completed last summer, and installation of streets and utilities began this spring for Miske Meadows First and Second Additions. Staffs initial concerns with the project were related to the design of the stormwater treatment infrastructure and the impacts to lot sizes and buildable areas. The current proposal meets all design standards. However, it should be noted that the current stormwater design creates a situation where water will rise up and out of the catch basins in the back yards of some lots, and lower as the pipes drain the water. This may be surprising to some residents, but the water will recede quickly. Due to the planned rise in water levels within these areas, staff recommends increasing the size of the easement along the rear property lines to mitigate the chance that structures could be temporarily inundated with water. Preliminary Plat City ordinance section 30 -375 outlines the required findings for approval of a Preliminary Plat. 7. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the honing regulations (article VI of this cbapter) and conforms in all respects witb all requirements of this Code, including the Toning regulations and this article.

The subdivision is consistent with all applicable plans. 3. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topograpby, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding,, and drainage are suitable for the type and density of development and uses contemplated. Staff is working with the applicant to finalize engineering plans, and expects to complete the review prior to the City Council meeting. The physical characteristics of the site support the proposed development. 4. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation, erosion control and all otber services, facilities and improvements otberwise required in this article.
