Memo to Planning Commission/P 97-17 January 27, 1998 Page 2 • In order to better accommodate a house with a 3 car garage, the property lines for lots 2, 3 and 4 could be shifted south. Lots 2, 3 and 4 could be widened so that they are 83 feet wide, which is would allow more flexibility in placing a house and 3 car garage. A detailed grading plan for lot 1 should be provided showing exactly how much wetland will be filled in order to a home and a 30 foot buffer between the proposed house and the wetland. The house dimensions shown on the grading plan are 20' X 30'. A review of house plans of homes constructed in Country Crossing 3rd showed that all of the houses had dimensions much larger than the ones shown on this plat. Dimensions of 45' X 50' were common. The proposed house dimensions shown on the grading plan should be adjusted to better reflect current house sizes. The plans also show a footbridge over the creek to accommodate the proposed trail. The applicant should work with the Department of Natural Resources and Sherburne County to extend the culvert and fill in the area east of Meadowvale Road as an alternative to a footbridge. A drainage pond is shown in the rear of lots 3 and 4. A drainage and utility easement should be put in place over the proposed pond. If a portion of the wetland on lot one is to be filled, the drainage and utility easement should be • adjusted to correspond with the revised wetland boundary. Recommendation Should the Commission decide to recommend approval of the preliminary plat, the following conditions are offered: 1. A DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT BE PREPARED OUTLINING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAT APPROVAL AND INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS. 2. ALL COMMENTS OF THE CITY ENGINEER'S MEMO DATED DECEMBER 15, 1997 BE INCORPORATED INTO THE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT AND MADE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. 3. A LETTER OF CREDIT BE PROVIDED TO THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF 100% OF THE COSTS OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. 4. UPON COMPLETING ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND HAVING THEM ACCEPTED BY THE CITY, A WARRANTY BOND IN THE AMOUNT OF 25% OF THE IMPROVEMENT COSTS SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR A ONE YEAR PERIOD. 5. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEE IN THE AMOUNT REQUIRED BY THE CITY AT THE TIME OF FINAL PLAT BE PAID PRIOR TO RELEASING THE PLAT FOR RECORDING WITH SHERBURNE COUNTY. • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\p9717jan.doc
