Memo to Planning Commission/P 01-02 January 23,2001 Page 3 • Layout Streets The main access into this development is a formal divided drive from 221st Avenue. The main drive through the project runs along the top of the ridge with 4 cul de sacs located on the peninsulas that extend out into the large wetland. Provisions have been made to allow for street connections to the property on the east and west. The streets will be a typical rural section with bituminous curb and gutter. Each cul de sac will have a center island. 221st Avenue is a gravel road. As part of this development, the applicant will be will be working with the City to determine their portion of the cost to install a bituminous surface on 221st Avenue. Lots The developer is proposing 70 lots. The lots will range in size from 16,800 square feet (.38 acres) to 93,000 square feet (2.13 acres). About 1/3 of the lots are between 20,000 and 30,000 square feet and about 1/3 are between 30,000 and 40,000 square feet in area. All of the lots are at least 80 feet wide. The lots are arranged so that 65 of the 70 lots abut open space. Outlots • Outlots C, D, E and R comprise most of the open space. Outlot C provides the open space near the entrance to the development. Outlot E is the main wetland complex; Outlot R is the community septic system, and Outlot D is farmland that will continued to be farmed. Outlot D will become a park when it is no longer farmed. Outlot H, located on the east side of Tipton street, should be eliminated and made part of the street right-of-way. Outlots F and G will be combined with future lots when the property to the east is developed. The remaining outlots are the cul de sac islands and main street medians. Open Space Outlots C, D, E and R comprise the 211 acres of open space. Outlot E is about 153 acres and is wetland, steep slopes and some upland islands. Outlot R is a 24 acre area that will be utilized for the community septic system. Outlot D is about 27 acres of farmland and will be continued to be farmed but will be dedicated to the City to meet the park dedication requirements. Outlot C is about 5 acres of open space just east of Outlot D and is currently a tree farm. Of the 211 acres of open space, 120 acres (56%) are wetland. About 58 acres (27 %) of the open space is buildable area. The remaining area is steep slopes. • S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\P0102.DOC
