Memo to Planning Commission/P 01-08 <br /> June 26,2001 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Located along the west property line is a detention pond that is being constructed by <br /> Sherburne County as part of the County Road 12 improvement project. The County's <br /> original position was that this pond could not have water from the development pass <br /> through it. The County has since changed its position,and water from the development will <br /> be allowed to pass through the pond. The developer is not proposing to expand the pond <br /> area as originally proposed. <br /> The development proposes to have two ponds located within Outlot C that will handle <br /> runoff from the subdivision. A third pond located in Block 2 has been designed that will <br /> also handle the storm water runoff. <br /> Park Dedication <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the preliminary plat and park dedication at <br /> its May 9, 2001 meeting. After discussion and negotiation with the developer, the <br /> Commission agreed to accept 7.9 acres of land for park dedication. The Park and Recreation <br /> Commission recommended a sidewalk along Street E connecting County Road 12 with <br /> Fillmore Street. At the June 12,2001 meeting,the Planning Commission recommended that <br /> sidewalks be added to Street A, Street B, and Street G. <br /> Landscape Plan <br /> • The developer has submitted a landscape plan that provides one street tree and one yard tree <br /> per lot with two of each on corner lots,in compliance with the landscape requirements in <br /> the subdivision ordinance. Along the County Road 12 and Fillmore Street right-of-ways,six- <br /> foot high fences and additional buffering landscaping are proposed to provide buffering or <br /> screening from the adjacent roadways. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary <br /> plat request to the City Council with the following conditions: <br /> 1.
