PP, North Meadows Addition Page 2 May 20, 1993 • Staff has met with Michael Townsend, and Bill Mealio, two of the property owners adjacent to this plat, and Joyce Mickelson, the developer. The meeting took place on site to discuss issues regarding the road. The neighbors pointed out the location of a spring under the proposed road. Staff did pass this information on to City Engineer, Terry Maurer. Mrs . Gildemeister, the owner of the third single family home in this area, did contact staff regarding her concerns with the location of the cul-de-sac bubble and how far the public street would extend toward her property. To address her concerns regarding leaving trees between the public street and her property, and also to avoid an existing wetland, the cul-de-sac bubble was held back from the western property line of the plat. The Planning Commission may wish to consider having a road easement dedicated from the bubble to this western boundary of the plat, in case other properties wish to further subdivide in the future. Otherwise, the private road will still be needed to access two of the three existing parcels on this road. As indicated, the road will be an urban section. This will include a 7 ton design, bituminous berms with no ditches, and 32 feet wide face of curb to face of curb, which was noted 411 incorrectly on the street profile. Terry Maurer, City Engineer, will be reviewing the road, grading, and drainage for this plat. A memo from Mr. Maurer is attached. COUNTY ENGINEERING The road the plat accesses onto is County Road 32 (Meadowvale Road) . The plat correctly notes 50 feet of right-of-way from center line being dedicated for County Road 32 . The developer will be responsible for getting a construction permit from the County to access the County road. Staff also recommends that Lot 1, Block 1, have its access onto to 214th Avenue and not onto Meadowvale Road. The County road is meant to act as the collector and access should be limited as much as possible. Lot 1, Block 2, however, will need to access County Road 32 to avoid putting a driveway through a wetland. A driveway permit will be required from the County Engineering department for this lot. DRAINAGE When staff met with the neighbors on site, they were concerned that the drainage plan did not show a culvert under the proposed road, connecting the wetlands on the north and south • sides of this road. Staff does not believe a culvert is needed in this location because the drainage from the wetland south of the road ( in the location of Lots 1 and 2 , Block 2 ) , will drain east toward County Road 32 then northward to a
