Mr. Steve Ach • January 21, 1998 Page Two 3. Outlot C in the southeast corner of the lot is a landlocked piece of property created by the plat. We have discussed with the Developer his intentions for this piece of property. He has indicated that he feels there will be an opportunity in the future to get access off of Concord Street to the east and create two to four lots in Outlot C in the future. Currently, Concord Street is a private street not maintained by the City. Therefore, it may be a long time in the future before this development scheme can be utilized. 4. The Grading Plan shows the construction of a right turn lane into the plat off of County Road 33. It also shows an additional 17 feet of right-of-way being dedicated to County Road 33. We have not seen a review letter from Sherburne County at this time, but these two improvements along the County Road are typically requested by the County Engineer's office. 5. Construction of the road will impact a small amount of wetlands just south of County Road 33. The mitigation for this impacted wetland is shown on the Grading Plan. This plat has gone through the Technical Advisory Committee review process and is currently working its way through the wetland permitting process. 6. The Preliminary Grading Plan shows two additional outlots. Outlot A is a small triangular piece of property in the northwest corner of the plat. It is not clear what the intention is for this piece of property. Perhaps it is to be attached to property lying west of the plat. Outlot B appears to be an island at the entrance to the plat off of County Road 33 • probably for landscaping purposes. As has been suggested on other developments in the City, with this type of entrance the City would like Outlot B to be an ownership of some property within this plat so that the City is not called upon in the future to maintain the entrance to the development. As an example, in Heritage Landing 2nd Addition, a similar landscape island in the cul-de-sac was owned by each of the nine lots in that development. 7. The drainage calculations that were submitted were reviewed. There are minor problems and/or clarifications that the Developer will be asked to respond to, but basically the drainage calculations appear to be adequate or, with correction, can be made adequate to serve the development. 8. It is my understanding that the Developer and the property owner to the south have been in communication relative to the location that Fresno Street will access the property to the south. It is my understanding that the property owner to the south is okay with the horizontal alignment of the access point, but may request that the vertical alignment be slightly lowered. We would recommend that the City allow the Developer of Windsor Woods and the property owner to the south to work this situation out with the City reviewing the outcome of these negotiations. 9. There will be a need for a temporary turnaround at the south end of this property. The Developer will be asked to provide temporary easements over Lot 9, Block 1, and Lot 11, Block 2, for the purposes of constructing this temporary turnaround. II Howarc R.
