Preliminary Plat, Iry Moldenhauer Page 4 March 18 , 1993 • PARK DEDICATION It is logical that a proposed trailway connecting Orono Park and a proposed regional park adjacent to the east of this property be constructed through this plat. It may also be logical that some kind of a neighborhood park within the plat is established. These issues will be addressed by the Park and Recreation Commission at their April 7 , 1993, meeting. ROAD NAMES Staff is proposing the following changes to the names of the streets within the plat. 1 . Fresno Street, south of 180th Avenue, be named Fresno Court. 2 . 180th Lane be named 180 1/2 Lane. 3 . 181st Drive be named 181st Circle. 4 . 182nd Circle be named 182nd Court. Staff feels that Riverview Drive (within the plat) is • appropriately named. Our ordinance states that once a pattern is established it shall be continued, as is the case with this road. CUL-DE-SACS Staff agrees with Mr. Maurer' s comment in his memo (#12) regarding cul-de-sacs . Five of the 6 cul-de-sacs could be eliminated, however, the layout of the streets has good traffic flow. If the cul-de-sacs remain, the lot layout in the plat may need to be adjusted so side lot lines line up to accommodate the looping of water lines from one cul-de-sac to the next. One additional cul-de-sac was originally proposed in this plat at the south end of Riverview Drive. There is an existing cul-de-sac on Riverview Drive to the west of this plat. Staff felt leaving these cul-de-sac separated did not allow for good traffic flow and the developer adjusted the plat accordingly. DEVELOPMENT PLAN Staff is concerned with lowest floor elevations for houses, garage elevations, and lot drainage patterns to ensure houses built in this plat do no have water problems . Staff is recommending a development plan is approved prior to final plat 411 review.
