• Mr. Steve Ach February 22, 1994 Page Two • The eyebrow cul-de-sac at the intersection of 183rd Street and Ironton Street will provide for difficult maintenance and snow removal. There is nothing in the ordinance that precludes this type of installation; however, consideration should be given to eliminating these types of cul-de-sacs. • The City ordinance requires a distance of 150 feet from centerlines of roads which are offset. Hudson Street as it jogs through the plat is short of this dimension on both the north and south sides. The distance shown on the preliminary plat is approximately 120 feet. At the intersection of Mississippi Road, the access to the proposed plat should be aligned with Gary Street or eliminated. • Lot 10, Block 4 is a corner lot which does not meet the minimum width of 100 feet. As shown on the plat, the lot is 98 feet wide. This could be corrected by simply adjusting lot lines within Block 4. • The grading plan shows a storm sewer line between Lots 18 and 19 of Block 1; however, the preliminary plat does not reflect an additional easement • in this area. • As Gary Street meets 183rd Street, the intersection is a large, sweeping curve with a radius of approximately 300 feet. This causes Lots 1 and 17 of Block 6 to be relatively narrow where they meet. Each lot starts out with a depth of over 100 feet, but at the point where they join, the depth is just barely 50 feet wide. These do not provide very desirable building pads. One method for correcting this would be to lessen the curvature of the street in this area. If, for example, the street radius was reduced from 300 feet to 250 feet, both of these lots would become deeper where they join. We would recommend that this entire northeast corner of the plat be reworked to provide more depth on Lots 1 and 17 of Block 6, and also more depth on Lots 5 and 6 of Block 1 at the rear of the cul-de-sac where they double front with Orono Parkway. B. GRADING PLAN • The entire site is extremely flat. It was very difficult to interpret the grading plan for two reasons: first, the underlying topography is not labeled very well and does not extend outside of the plat boundaries, and second, there are no spot elevations or drainage arrows to provide insight into how each • particular lot will be graded. We would recommend that, as part of the development plan provided later in the process, this type of additional information be provided. Specifically, each rear lot corner should have a spot
